| [title] Choosing a camera | |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***If you are buying a used DSLR or Mirrorless camera, make sure you know the shutter count, or common averages. If this is unkown it may be best to look for an example which is known, or cameras with known ranges. NOTE: This number should still be known but a higher actual count with Mirrorless cameras is less concerning vs with a DSLR.*** |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***Information on checking the shutter count can be found here: https://emmalucyphotography.com/canon-80d-shutter-count/ and https://shuttercheck.app/data/. *** |

| + | [* icon_caution] ***If you buy a used DSLR or Mirrorless camera, make sure you know the shutter count (or common averages if all else fails). If this data is unknown, try and look for one the seller will disclose it, or reliable averages.*** ***NOTE: On Mirrorless cameras a high shutter count is less critical (~250k+ mech), but you should still pay accordingly.*** |

| [* black] ***Smartphone:*** Everyone has one at this point. For the most part, many have cameras which are good enough (or similar quality to a good P&S). ***While not as good as a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, the quality today is generally excellent.*** | |
| [* black] ***Mirrorless:*** These are similar to DSLRs but have fewer moving parts and smaller bodies. Many use the same sensors as DSLR cameras and use different lenses, ***but can accept SLR lenses with an adapter (Sony LA-EA, Canon EF>RF, Nikon F>Z).*** | |
| - | [* black] ***DSLR:*** Similar to Mirrorless cameras, but use different lenses. These still get better battery life compared to mirrorless cameras (and sometimes better lens options as well) but are much larger. |
| - | [* icon_note] ***NOTE: While I am showing a prosumer DSLR, it is not a requirement; I know how to shop around.*** |
| - | [* black] ***Point and Shoot:*** Due to smartphone camera quality advancements, these are far less common today. However, they are still a decent fallback option. ***Due to most smartphones being “good enough” MOST P&S cameras are discontinued or next to be. Be prepared to buy a used camera and potentially a battery if it is showing its age!*** |

I got a good deal on it due to a low but higher-than-average click count.*** |

However, they are still a decent fallback option. ***Due to most smartphones being “good enough” MOST P&S cameras are discontinued or get discontinued first. Be prepared to buy a used camera and potentially a new battery if the runtime is poor!*** |
