We’ve spent long, countless hours reviewing lots of photo gear this year. And we’ve spent time compiling lists of the best gear. Yes, we know that it’s the photographer who ultimately creates the images, and we’ve had that in mind the entire time that we wrote this list. There’s something for everyone here: the pro, the enthusiast, the semi-pro and the beginner in our roundup of the best photo gear.

Lighting

Cameras

– The Best Point and Shoots for the Travelling Photographer: When you’re travelling, it’s sometimes a great idea to not be burdened down by a bunch of lenses. Instead, a lens that it permanently fixed onto the camera could be a better option considering just how large the sensors are becoming and how amazing the image quality is.
Trust us, you’ll leave your phone in your pocket.
– The Best Point and Shoots for Street Photography: We’re a big believer that point and shoot cameras are the way to go when it comes to street photography. And these cameras stand out the most amongst the sea of them out there.
