Know what matters
Your cameras field notes.
A good camera choice starts with what you want to photograph and how you like to travel, work and learn. A small camera you enjoy carrying can be more useful than a larger system that stays at home. For interchangeable-lens cameras, the lens choice deserves as much attention as the body.
Choose a camera around your photography
Start with our camera buying guide to work through camera types, sensor formats, autofocus, handling and the cost of a complete kit. If you already own lenses, check the exact mount and any adapter restrictions before changing bodies.
When you have a shortlist, use our guide to comparing camera prices. It explains how to compare matching bundles, condition, warranty and delivery-inclusive cost.
