  9. what is the best camera for photography? i love photography.
    i take pictures with mobile but its zooming power bad. so what you suggest me the best camera ?

    • There’s no such thing as a best camera. The one that’s best for you depends on the kind of photos you want to take, how much you want to spend on it, its portability, and a lot of other questions.

    • I got my start by buying a camera and taking it with me everywhere. Take photos and figure out out why you like some but not others. Look at other people’s pictures and try the stuff they do that you like.
