Cameras &
Accessories Needed

primarily for simple operation. Most use focus free lenses or autofocus for
focusing, automatic systems for setting the exposure options, and have flash
units built in.)
- Mirrorless Camera
(Often, entry-level mirrorless cameras are a replacement for consumers who
are using an entry-level DSLR and like the interchangeable-lens feature, but
want something that is lighter and smaller. These cameras usually offer an LCD to compose your
photos instead of an electronic viewfinder.)
- DSLR’s camera
(A digital single-lens
reflex camera (also
called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital cameracombining the optics and the mechanisms of a
single-lens reflex camera with
a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.)

(A digital camera back is a device that attaches to the back of a camera in place of a film holder and
contains an electronic image sensor. Nowadays Digital Back is rarely used by professional photographers.)
