've been taking photos for years and years now. I’ve always really enjoyed photography and I’ve made a real effort to diversify my understanding of cameras and how photos work. Since I’ve been taking photos for so long, I’ve used lots of different cameras and have some recommendations on which are best specifically for social media and creators.
Canon SL1
I love this camera! It is a smaller body DSLR camera that’s perfect for traveling and taking all over town. However, what the camera lacks in size, it makes up for in quality! It has great quality (like any other DSLR camera). What I really love about this camera for social media is how great Lightroom presets look with it! The photos are really easy to edit and they end up looking really good next to film and iPhone photos on your feed!
Canon AE-1
This is possibly my favorite film camera ever! This camera is a great 35mm film camera. The photos are so clear and beautiful, but have the cutest “nostalgic film look.” This camera isn’t terribly easy to come by and it’s not a “less expensive” film camera, but it is really amazing. Again, it’s such a great look in your feed.
iPhone 12 Pro
The camera on the iPhone 12 Pro or the iPhone 12 Pro Max is so insane. I think iPhone photos can be so great especially with a quick Lightroom preset. Easiest to take photos on your iPhone. However, if you are a contact creator, especially someone who creates visual content, I highly recommend upgrading to the iPhone 12 Pro.
