1. People
This is one
of the most common types of shot taken.
Ideally you need a camera that works well
in low light and has a good flash unit.

2. Travel
Holiday snaps
require a robust generalist camera with
a good zoom lens that works well both
in the day and at night as well as indoors
and outside.

3. Landscapes
This type
of shot is all about image quality. A
good wide angle lens and
plenty of control over the camera settings
will produce excellent photos.

4. Wildlife
Most wildlife
shots are taken from a static position
and require a long lens with a tripod
for stability as light levels can get
very low.

5. Action
Ideally you
require a super-zoom camera capable of
fast shutter speeds supported by an image
stabilisation system.
