Camera Types and Features

DSLR vs. Mirrorless: Explain the differences between DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) and mirrorless cameras. Highlight advantages like interchangeable lenses, image quality, and portability.
Zoom vs. Prime Lenses: Educate customers on the benefits of zoom lenses (versatility) and prime lenses (sharpness, wider apertures).
Megapixels: Clarify that higher megapixels don’t always mean better photos. Discuss sensor size and its impact on image quality.

ISO Range: Explain how ISO affects image sensitivity to light. Higher ISO values are useful in low-light conditions but may introduce noise.
Aperture (f-stop): Describe how aperture affects depth of field and light intake. Lower f-stop values create a shallower depth of field.
Shutter Speed: Discuss the relationship between shutter speed and motion blur. Fast shutter speeds freeze action, while slow speeds create artistic effects.

Standard Kit Lens: Guide beginners on choosing a versatile kit lens (e.g., 18-55mm) for everyday photography.
Specialty Lenses: Introduce prime lenses (e.g., 50mm f/1.8) for portraits and macro lenses for close-ups.

Tripods: Explain the importance of stability for long exposures, group shots, and self-portraits.
Filters: Discuss UV filters (protection), polarizers (reducing reflections), and ND filters (long exposures).
Camera Bags: Suggest comfortable, padded bags to protect gear during travel.

Software: Recommend photo editing software (e.g., Adobe Lightroom) for enhancing images.
RAW vs. JPEG: Explain the benefits of shooting in RAW format for more flexibility during editing.
