Have you ever thought of accessorizing your compact camera?
Compact cameras can be very capable companions for experienced photographers and newbies alike. If you're one who likes taking photos anywhere you go and would prefer images with better quality and usability than smartphone cameras, you should consider having a compact camera even if you have bigger gear.
For beginners, a compact camera with a good range lens can work wonders as a first camera before diving deep into the complexities of more advanced photo and video gear. Compact cameras can also be great choices for casual photographers and videographers for everyday photos and vacation photos, while for serious hobbyists and photo and video professionals, compact cameras can make great on-the-go companions for moments in-between serious shooting.
This video talks about some of the most useful accessories that I use on my Sony RX100 Mark VI and Sony ZV-1. This set of accessories range from essential ones that secure and support your compact cameras, audio solutions for casual videographers and vloggers, to add-on attachments that expand your camera's capabilities. A good choice in camera straps based on the kind of photography that you do and the carrying style you prefer is very important. An everyday-carry compact tripod goes well with it and should complement the compact size of your camera. A convenient way for recording good and crisp audio should be a priority if you’re into video production or vlogging, and a good quality lens adapter for expanded capabilities allows for more possibilities.
Very disappointed by the increased use of videos instead of written articles. If I want to watch videos, I can go to YouTube. Why some blogs are making this move and missing out on potential revenues from affiliated links is beyond me. I guess the author benefits more from YouTube and the blogging platform, Fstoppers just gets less revenue. You have lost a subscriber.
This page does have affiliate links. Scroll up to the body and you'll see blue underlined text. Win win.
Well personally, at least 90% of all my articles here on fstoppers are 1000 (and above) word originals. It's quite unfortunate that you probably have only seen this out of literally a hundred that I've posted. Also, I'm nowhere near the minimum number of subscribers on youtube and even less the number of watch hours needed to monetize so no, I get absolutely nothing from youtube. :)
YouTube shows me video thumbnails with clickbait titles and very brief descriptions that are useless in summarizing the video, because they know that if they do it effectively, it will more likely lead to people skipping videos than watching them, because they rarely have anything to offer beyond clickbait disappointment. See Brian Albers' summary below: THIS is what I want from Fstoppers, so I can decide if I want to watch the video or not.
The best thing? The recent "A Different Way to Improve Your Photo in Five Seconds" article on Fstoppers by Alex Armitage. It is both a video and a written article with photos. I can choose how I want to consume the content. I can even choose both.
Summarized- strap, small tripod, ext mic, wide angle attachment
Thank you, you saved me over 11 minutes. With an article, a summary like that or a quick skim would tell me whether I cared enough to read the entire thing. With a video, I'm not going to waste several minutes watching just to decide if I care enough to watch the whole thing - I'm most likely just going to skip it.
agreed!
