Best List of Digital and Video Cameras for Personal & Professional Photography & Videography

Choosing a digital camera is a tough deal, especially with the numerous types and brands available today.

There’s no “one-fits-all” digital camera out there.

Cameras are just like our clothes; they’re suited for one occasion or the other but not for all. To find the best camera for your needs, considering the “occasion” you want to use it for might be a good starting point.

You might also want to consider your budget. Professional cameras are quite expensive. If your budget allows though, you might want to go for an expensive one as they are more advanced and capture the moments clearer than inexpensive ones.

It’s tough finding one that best suits your needs considering the sea of camera brands available on the market.

In this article, I’ve reviewed some of the best digital cameras in Nigeria. Go through the review and choose one that’s best for you.

 

Digital Cameras

Digital cameras are awesome not only because they are pretty little items but also because they capture those wonderful moments, which would have been lost, and help you keep them forever.

With digital cameras, you get to relive each memory again and again as you go through your gallery.

Choosing a type of digital camera mostly boils down to your level of photography and your budget. A point-and-shoot camera will do if you’re a novice or need a camera for fun. But an advanced camera with more control options is best for a professional photographer.

If you plan on photographing wildlife or capturing those wonderful moments with your kids, then go for a camera with fast shutters.

Below you’ll find my recommended point-and-shoot camera as well as one for professional photography.

Point-and-shoot cameras are less expensive but the picture quality is not suitable for professional photography.

Video Cameras

Video cameras are awesome tools for making documentaries of your daily life or even making professional motion pictures. With video cameras, you get the complete package – every action accompanied sounds!

There are simple compact video cameras, like camcorders, which are suitable for capturing family moments like vacations or birthdays. These camcorders are budget-friendly and can fit in your pocket. Videos made with camcorders are excellent for private use but are of low quality for professional videography.

Professional Video Camera comes in various brands and sizes packed with a lot of features. Some are excellent for capturing fast motion pictures while others are great for ordinary scenes. If you’re looking forward to producing motion pictures for commercial purposes, investing in a professional camera is a good idea.
