buy a macro camera

Macro camera, or macro lens?

Buying a macro camera starts with choosing a DSLR or mirrorless camera that supports interchangeable lenses. Look for one with manual controls to fine-tune focus and exposure. Pair the camera with a dedicated macro lens, ideally one that offers 1:1 magnification like a 100mm f/2.8. Brands like Canon, Nikon, and Sony offer great beginner options that are reliable and widely supported. Set a budget and remember that investing in a good lens is just as important as the camera body for macro photography.
