That depends on what type of landscape photography you want to take. While you could spend a ton of cash on expensive gear, if you’re a beginner starting out, you may want to look at an entry level DSLR camera. They will do just about everything you want and you won’t need to spend a lot of money. And if you learn to use it right, it could end up being the Best camera for landscape photography you’ll ever own.
Lenses
Your camera may or may not come with a kit lens. If so, great. But it won’t serve you well in every landscape shooting scenario you’ll want to practice. Here are the main types of lenses you’ll need
Types of lenses used in landscape photography:
- Wide Angle Zoom Lens
- Wide Angle Prime Lens
- Ultra wide Angle Fisheye Lens
- Telephoto Zoom Lens
- Macro lens
Most landscape photographers start out with a good wide angle lensto capture sweeping landscape views like mountain ranges or beach settings. But I would recommend looking into some of the other ones mentioned above.
What to look for in a good lens:
- Lightweight and compact size (when possible)
- Excellent optics
- Low maximum aperture (f/1.8, f/2.8, f/3.5)
- Vibration reduction
