Budget Bundle For Beginner Shutterbugs

So,a few days ago I made a post on some of the mid-range film-equipments especially for those who wants to up there game in videography/cinematography. Now, I love photography as much as I love videography (or a little more) So this following list is a bundle of few camera equipments/accessories that a a beginner must have to start the photography/videography journey.

All products mentioned below are listing is a manner of importance from high to low. Majority of the product are personally used by me. But I can even vouch for other products also
Videos embedded below are not mine

1. Camera (Dslr) :- This is a no brainer,whether you choose canon or nikon it doesn't  matter,both are equally great especially the budget ones. I personally use the Canon T3i (600D). but it has been discontinued are replaced by the Canon 700D .The 700D is a great options from canon range of entry level Dslr's sure there are cheaper options like the canon 1200D and the 1300D but they lack flip screen and microphone jack which could be a disadvantage especially if you want to get into videography/cinematography. The camera come with a 18mm-55mm kit lens but of you can increase you budget you can get double lens bundle which also includes 55mm-250mm lens. The price will vary depending upon the kit you purchase and will also increase if you opt for STM lenses.

       For people who wants to opt for a nikon camera,The Nikon D5200 is a good entry level Dslr which also comes in a single lense and Bundle kit the only difference is that the Zoom lense is 55mm-200mm rather than being 55mm-250mm. It won't make much of a difference. But me being a canon user will alway opt for a canon dslr.

2. Tripod :-  A lot of pro photographers will tell you invest in a good quality tripod which will range from $100- $300 and they are not wrong,but I know how difficult it is to invest in a tripod especially after spending if not huge but a considerable amount on a brand new Dslr. I personally have been using the Velbon CX 440 for the past 6 years and I had served me GREAT!! unfortunately I couldn't find this particular model on amazon,but recently couple of my friends are using the Benro T600EX tripod. Its a great multi purpose full length tripod especially for the price of just under 2000/- INR which is approx $30. Now I know its a cheap tripod and you can opt for a better option but I believe it can get the job done

3.Memory :- Now let me tell you that all Dslr camera do come with a class 10 8GB memory card. But I would always recommend you to get a larger space card especially if you going to shoot a video.Please note that the memory card should be a class 10 memory card for efficient Read and Write. The price of the memory card vary depending upon its storage and speed. I personally use the Sandisk 32GB memory card with 80mbps speed. The card costs about 1500/- but it may vary. You can get same storage at a different price point if the speed varies.

3. Cleaning Kit:- This is something that people tend to forget to purchase after they get their Dslr you absolutely need a cleaning kit to keep your lenses clean.Your lenses will pick up dirt and dust which will evetually need cleaning,a good quality microfiber cloth is something you should use to clean you lence and you camera LCD screen.You can get a microfiber cloth for as cheap as 100/- INR or approx. $2. I would also recommend you to get a cleaning solution to clean the fingerprints and smudges in and around you lense.

4.The Nifty Fifty :- Now if we assume that you are buying the bundle kit in either of the brand. The 50mm 1.8 is the best 1st lence that money can buy. Now I am not getting into the specifics and how much it is loved and adored in the industry. But whenever you decide this is absolutely the the lens that you should purchase. I got my canon 50mm 1.8 STM almost 3 months back a I couldn't be happier. For a price point of around 8000/- which is approx. $120 USD. Both Canon and Nikon offer this lens will some variation in price 

              

5.Camera Bag :-  Just like memory card the camera also comes with a bag which is is perfect to carry you camera body and 2 lenses and other small stuffs like memory cards,charger,and cleaning cloth. But It will get clogged up by putting in the 3 lence and then there is also a risk leaking your camera cleaning solution because of the bag getting clogged. A good camera bag lets you secure your equipments and organize them properly especially when you have number of stuffs to carry around.I have been using the Lowepro bag Format 150. Its a compact camera backpack perfect for your beginners kit its has enough to carry all you equipments when your starting around. The bag has enough padding to safely keep you camera,lenses and other accessories.It has a dedicated sleve to keep you ipad or a small laptop. Unfortunately it wont be able to carry our tripod as its not big enough.But for a price of about 2500/-INR or approx $40 its a pretty good deal

6.UV Filter :- This is something I would recommend  you to buy along with the lense. UV filter is nothing but a protective glass that protects the lens and the sensor for harmful rays of sunlight.Each lens has its on size of filter. I would definitely recommend you to invest in for all your lenses. I personally use the OSAKA multilayer UV filter for all 3 of my lense.

58mm UV Filter

49mm UV Filter

The size of the filter depends upon the size of the lense do check before you purchase the filter for you particular lense.

Note - I myself am a amature photographer who take his hobby very seriously this is in no way a professional recommendation but more like a guide to a beginner from a 'PRO BEIGNNER.'
