Students—not sure what kit to buy? We've put together five setups—the ‘fashionista’, ‘all-rounder’, ‘socialite’, 'real-deal DSLR' and 'future-proof mirrorless'—to help you decide.
The ‘fashionista’
Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
This is a solid full-frame camera and zoom setup. Beautiful colours and renditions bring out details and shades. Plus, you can swap out the Canon EOS 5D Mark II for a Canon EOS 5D or a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, depending on your budget or video needs.
The ‘all-rounder’
Fujifilm X-T2 + Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR
With this mirrorless body and small prime, you can do anything. And take it with you anywhere. It’s easily a walkabout setup or a travel camera.
