5 reasons to expand your current camera equipment

You enjoy spending time using your camera, even though the novelty of it has worn off a bit. Need inspiration? In this article, we'll give you 5 reasons to expand your current camera equipment.

Larger zoom range and wide angle

1. More range

A relatively easy way to give your photography hobby new life is to get an extra lens. With a kit lens, you can take good photos. Especially if you're just getting started. After some time, you'll want more. More zoom because an 18 - 55mm lens has limited range, a larger wide-angle so you can fit more into your frame, or more light intensity because you have to take photos in a low light situation.

View all lenses
More filters

2. More filter options

Want to upload truly high-quality photos on Instagram? In that case, you should use a system camera. The filters on these cameras are much better than the standard filters Instagram offers you. In terms of size, this type of camera is comparable to a compact camera. In its use, it might remind you of an SLR camera. Especially the possibility of using various lenses makes the camera interesting to a broad target audience.

Camera bags in various shapes and sizes

3. A wider choice of bags

Haven't you used your SLR camera for month because the camera bag just doesn't match with your clothes? There are many camera bags available in different shapes and sizes which you can distinguish from regular bags. You can put them around your shoulder or on your back. You can't see it's a camera bag from the exterior, but the inside is completely adjusted to your hobby and you can arrange it as you like.

Tripods offer stability

4. More stability

When buying your camera equipment, a tripod might not immediately have been at the top of your list. Yet, a tripod can be very helpful for taking better photos. Movement is often 1 of the most important reasons why a photo fails. If you want to use your system or action camera to shoot stable video free of shock, choose a gimbal. Its axes, which rotate 360 degrees, will catch any unexpected movement.

Sporty outdoor camera offers freedom of movement

5. More freedom of movement

Do you like diving, snorkeling, or other water sports? You probably want to capture the beauty in and on the water and share it with the rest of the world. In that's the case, it's useful to get an outdoor sports camera in addition to your regular SLR camera. Waterproof and shock proof compact cameras and action cameras are ideal for adventures in and around the water. So this camera is a good addition.
