The first photography.101 lesson we had was that it’s not about the camera, but we also mentioned the importance of good tools. This is why we’d like to help you pick a better camera.

This is it, the first real installment of the drivebyshooter.net photography.101 series. That’s why I want to make this clear: your camera is a tool for taking photographs. That’s all it is - a piece of equipment. Your camera doesn’t take pictures - you do.
You are the one who sees the opportunity for a great shot. You are the one who frames and composes your image. You are the one who decides when to take the shot.
Your camera is just the tool that lets you record an image.
Now I’m not saying that your camera doesn’t matter - it does. What matters more though is that you know how to use it. That’s what I hope to help you with in this photography.101 series.
