As a blogger, your success depends on two factors — the written content of your blog and the images used. The pictures and photographs you choose for each post help to draw readers in and bring your writing to life. If you typically shoot and upload your own images for each post, you should be using a high-quality camera to achieve the best results. K & R Photographics, a photo equipment store in Ft. Mitchell, KY, carries all types of cameras for photography enthusiasts, including Canon® and Nikon® cameras.

Below, some of their expert staff offers tips on choosing the right camera for your blog.

Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Canon or Nikon Camera for Your Blog

For Professional Quality Photos

If you are in need of high-resolution photographs for your blog, try the Nikon D610. This DSLR camera costs around $900, but it is well worth the price in terms of quality and results. The design is user-friendly and allows you to point and shoot until you get a hang of it. Once you are more experienced, you can test out the different lenses and shutter options.

If You Are a Sports or Travel Blogger

Dedicated sports and travel bloggers need a camera that delivers great images even in the rockiest situations. The best option for a great price is the Canon EOS 7D. This camera retails for around $700 and offers reliable performance during indoor photo shoots or out in nature.

For General Lifestyle Blogs

If you run a lifestyle blog and mostly take photographs of food, clothing, and other inanimate objects, you can skip a lot of the high-tech gear. A simple point-and-shoot camera that offers high-resolution photos will do just fine. Your best option is another Nikon camera, the D90. The D90 is easy to use, creates beautiful images with great color saturation, and sells for around $200.
