Family Photography
No gear and no idea?... We've got you
Want to start taking photos of your own family?
If you're new to photography and looking to start taking family photos, we would recommend either a compact camera or an entry level interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. We explore the main differences below.
Keep it Simple Sweet
Compacts
The most frequently asked enquiry is "I want to take photos better than my phone". A compact can do just that. It just depends on which camera you buy. Compact cameras have fixed lenses and simple controls. All you need to do is point and shoot. The camera will do the rest. The mains features of a compact camera include: Small, lightweight, fixed lens, easy to use, smaller sensors, aimed at casual users.

Mirrorless Kits
Want something a bit better than your phone and a compact? A mirrorless might just be for you. Here are some of the main differences between the compacts and the mirrorless: The lenses are interchangeable, there are more extensive manual controls and most importantly higher image quality. Mirrorless cameras give you flexibility to grow into different types of photography as you get the option to purchase different lenses to suit the occasion.
