When you start out in digital photography, the first thing to consider is which type of camera you will use.

These lenses allow you control the focal length of your lens, which allows you to zoom into the scene and not lose focus. Some lenses can be equipped with flash units that are built-in, while others may require external flash units. There are many brands offering a variety of lenses.
