Many photography beginners often find official packages, package one, package two, package three, and so on when shopping for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras online. Then on the product details page, you will see specific accessories for various package combinations, such as SD cards, card readers, UV lenses, air blowers, tripods, camera bags, and so on. Do beginners in photography really need so many accessories? What accessories are truly needed by beginners in photography? Below, the editor will list the accessories that photography novices need to purchase according to the recommendation index.
1. SD card. Must purchase, recommended rating of 5 stars ★★★★★.
If it's just for simple travel photography, a regular 32GB or 64GB SD is sufficient. If shooting sports or bird ecology themes requires frequent continuous shooting, please consider using an SD card with higher write speed. You can purchase an SD card with the corresponding write speed based on the camera's continuous shooting frequency and the size of the RAW/JPG file generated in a single shot. As for which brand to buy, both SanDisk and Toshiba are available. It should be noted that do not purchase counterfeit SD cards just for the sake of small discounts.
2、 card reader. Must purchase, recommended rating of 5 stars ★★★★★.
When it comes to card readers, I immediately think of the transparent plastic card reader that I gave as a gift when buying a camera. When installing the SD card for the first time and inserting it into the computer, it prompts with "ldquo; Unable to recognize SD card, please format it;. I tried multiple times but couldn't recognize the SD card, so I had no choice but to format it. Of course, there are no more photos available. Later, after some tinkering, I managed to retrieve some of the photos using recovery software. So, don't buy inferior card readers. Pinsheng has a white card reader that has not experienced a single malfunction since its use. Photography beginners can consider it.
3、 Moistureproof box. Suggest purchasing from friends in the southern region. Recommendation index 4 stars ★★★★☆.
If you live in the southern region of China, especially in the southern Fujian area, it is recommended to purchase a moisture-proof box. Especially during the rainy season from March to May each year, the air humidity is high and the lens is prone to mold growth. The natural enemy of the camera is not only touch and fall, but also the invisible enemy is mold. It is recommended to purchase a regular blue lid transparent plastic box with an electronic moisture absorbing card, which can hold a moisture-proof box with dual mirrors for one machine. There's no need to buy a plug-in one, like a moisture-proof box for a small refrigerator, except that you have a lot of body and lens.
4、 Clean the accessories. Common items include lens paper, lens pens, air blowers, and screen lens cleaning solutions. Based on the experience of the editor, lens pens and air blowing are the most practical. Generally, when purchasing a camera, a cleaning package is included as a gift, but it is important to note that the lens pens included may be of poor quality. How to identify inferior lens pens? Check if the brush of the lens pen is uneven in length and if it is prone to shedding hair. Recommend purchasing lens pens and air blowers. Recommendation index 4 stars ★★★★☆.
5. UV lens/protective lens. Recommended purchase, with a recommendation index of 3 stars ★★☆☆.
It is recommended to purchase regular UV lenses, such as Kengo lenses. It is not recommended to purchase domestically produced UV lenses. If you upgrade to“ in the future; Big Three Yuan; Lens, then consider the B+W brand.
6、 camera bag. It is recommended for photography beginners to buy a camera inner bag and then put the inner bag in their backpack. You don't necessarily have to buy a camera bag, a regular backpack can also be used as a camera bag. But please purchase an inner bag that can conveniently wrap the camera and avoid the camera rolling around in the bag. Recommendation index 2 stars ★★☆☆☆.
7、 Spare battery. If it's a DSLR, just purchase a spare battery. If it's a mirrorless battery, you may need to buy two spare batteries. Based on experience, the battery life of the secondary factory after being fully charged is generally only half of that of the original factory battery. Recommendation index 2 stars ★★☆☆☆.
8、 tripod. It is not recommended for beginners to purchase. If shooting city night scenes or sea scenery themes, it is recommended to purchase. Recommendation index: 1 star ★☆☆☆☆.
9、 Dimming mirror/gradient mirror/polarizing mirror. Not recommended for beginners to purchase, but recommended for those who focus on shooting landscapes. Recommendation index: 1 star ★☆☆☆☆.
The above are the camera accessories that the editor suggests purchasing, recommended in descending order of star rating. Some accessories are necessary, some accessories are for protecting the camera, and some accessories are for improving shooting quality.
