Before you shell out the money for a new camera, you'll most likely want to learn about what the camera is capable of doing. "Will the image quality be good with this camera?" "Can I take macro shots with this camera?" "Will I be able to make good prints from this camera?" These are all important questions to ask. But there is also one very important element to any great photograph that a lot of people overlook: the lighting.
You can have the most expensive camera in the world, but without understanding a thing or two about lighting, you will no doubt experience frustration with inconsistent and unappealing results. Conversely, if you have some good lighting tools and know the best ways to use them, you can create stunning images with the most modest of cameras.
