Stepping into the world of photography? It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the endless list of gear available—but the truth is, you don’t need the most expensive camera to take great photos. You just need the right gear to start with.

Let’s break down the essential tools every beginner photographer should have.

1. A Beginner-Friendly Camera

You don’t need a full-frame DSLR to start. Go for a camera that’s simple, lightweight, and gives you manual control.

Top Picks:

• Canon EOS 200D / 1500D

• Nikon D3500

• Sony Alpha A6100 (mirrorless)

💡 At 1Click Academy, we teach you how to use ANY camera—from basic DSLRs to your smartphone.

2. A Good Lens

Your lens matters more than the camera body in many cases. Most cameras come with a kit lens (like 18–55mm), which is a good starting point.

Add this when you’re ready to upgrade:

• 50mm f/1.8 prime lens – great for portraits and low light

3. Tripod

For sharp photos, especially in low light or long exposures, a tripod is a must.

Recommended:
Look for something lightweight and stable—like a Digitek or AmazonBasics tripod (₹1,000–₹2,000 range).

4. Lighting (Optional But Helpful)

Natural light is perfect for beginners, but you can explore:

• Ring lights (for indoor portraits or videos)

• Small LED panels

5. Memory Cards & Extra Battery

Always carry:

• A Class 10 SD card (at least 32GB)

• A backup battery if your shoots run long

6. Camera Bag

A padded bag protects your gear and keeps things organized—especially when you’re shooting outdoors.
