What Photo Gear

So what do we aim to accomplish with WhatPhotoGear.com? Well, just like the name says, the focus will be on all that shiny gear that helps us make pictures. We hope to cover news, churn out some reviews, show you tips and tricks and etc and etc.. But we’re not just limiting ourselves to the latest super duper ultra mega pixel DSLR or the just released, ultra-thin and available-in-6-different-colors point and shoot - but we’re also going to cover tripods and heads, bags, lenses and all those other gear that most other photography gear websites tend to overlook.

But just a bit of a disclaimer here - I do subscribe to the your camera and all your gear is all secondary school of thought - and I’m sure most of us do. After all, there are numerous photographers out there with their little point and shoots and entry level DSLRs producing better photographs than those lugging around thousands of dollars worth of gear.

But at the same time, I don’t totally follow the your camera and gear don’t matter school of thought either. I will readily recommend that everyone purchase the best gear we can afford - but I also believe that all our gear are simply tools to help us in making better photographs. Good gear should go hand in hand with a good photographic eye and a good grasp of the basics.

Plus, as much as I love photography, I’m also a gear head at heart. And I don’t just mean photography gear, but also all those other bright shiny toys in the world of technology from laptops to cellphones and everything in between.

So aside from making you salivate and lust over the latest and greatest gear, we at WhatPhotoGear also hope to help you in making informed choices before spending all your hard earned money. We’ll point you to some great deals if we find any, we’ll do some reviews and point you to other reviews as well, and best of all, I’ll do my best to keep all the technical mumbo-jumbo to a minimum - I am not an engineer or a sensor designer, and I won’t pretend to be one. I’m going to try and keep things simple and straight-forward that even the greenest of beginners won’t be lost.

I’ll try to update this site every weekday, so just keep us bookmarked. If you do have any news, any tips or tricks to share, suggestions, questions or maybe you’ve reviewed a piece of gear, or just want to correct us on one of our posts - please drop us a line at WhatPhotoGear at gmail .dotcom
