Photography Explained - Episode 6 – What Are The Different Types Of Camera?

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 6 of the Photography Explained podcast. In this episode – What are the different types of camera?

I’m your host Rick and each week I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant details. My aim is to explain things in just enough detail to help us with our photography and no more.

What are the different types of camera?

In the last episode I answered the question do I really need a camera in 2020? The answer was it depends.

But for those who need a camera what camera do you buy? There are so many camera out there.

Old terms sort of explained.

In general terms

The bigger the sensor - the bigger and better the camera is, more expensive, higher endThe smaller the sensor the smaller and cheaper the camera.

But I will say this again – a great camera does not guarantee great photos

And an average camera does not exclude great photos

And I am sure there are a few others but these are the main ones. Enough for this episode!

Next on the Photography Explained Podcast – Which camera should I buy?

Having told you what the different types of cameras are I will give you some things to think about regarding the camera that will be right for you.
