About Camera...

Before starting to say about this,for those who are just starting out in photography,would be not to wory about what type of equipment to use.

Use a camera that is affordable to you and later if your passion increases,only then you should use something more expensive like DSLR cameras.

The reason why is that DSLR cameras are able to manually adjust the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Most DSLRs also have the option to take exposures that are 30 seconds in length.

This will be a useful feature to have when doing the tricks covered in the long exposure effects module.

Some high-end point-and-shoot cameras will work okay, but chances are if you want to have more control over what your final image will look like, a DSLR would be a much better option than a point-and-shoot.

After learning how to use the camera for a year or two get a better one.

Don't worry too much about which brand of camera to get because they are all basically the same. Canon, Nikon, Sony, whatever. It's the image that matters,not the what brand of camera it was taken with.

Getting a camera that allows wireless remotes, cable releases, an external flash sync (PC) port, and a mirror lock up mode is the next step up from a entry level DSLR.
