📸 Think you need an expensive camera to take great photos? You really don't. In episode 229 of the Photography Explained Podcast, I take my entry level Canon R100 to Mexico for two weeks — kit lens only — and come back with portfolio-worthy images. Under £500 of gear. Real conditions. No tricks. 

In this episode I reveal 7 things an entry level camera can genuinely do brilliantly — and the results might surprise you. 

💡 THE 7 THINGS COVERED: 

1️⃣  It produces genuinely excellent photos — right out of the box 

2️⃣  The kit lens is a much better starting point than you think 

3️⃣  Programme mode is a perfectly valid way to shoot 

4️⃣  It handles low light significantly better than your phone 

5️⃣  A tripod unlocks a whole new level of what's possible 

6️⃣  Auto Exposure Bracketing helps you handle tricky light 

7️⃣  It will make you a better photographer
