Camera body
A DSLR camera body is the basic building block of a professional photography setup. A DSLR gives you the ability to change lenses, to shoot in raw image format, and to control exposure, focus, and white balance manually. If you’re serious about photography, a DSLR is the best way to go.
Lenses
Some Rebels, including the T5, can use Canon EF and EF-S lenses. These are the lenses that Canon sells for its full-frame DSLRs. If you want to do serious professional photography with your Rebel, then you need to invest in some high-quality EF or EF-S lenses.
Memory cards and storage
As a professional photographer, you’ll need top-of-the-line equipment that can store and process large amounts of data quickly. That’s why memory cards and storage are so important.
There are a few different types of memory cards available on the market, but the most popular type for high-end cameras is the SD card. SD cards come in a variety of sizes, but the most common size for high-end cameras is 32GB.
When it comes to storage, there are two main types: internal and external. Internal storage is built into the camera, while external storage is usually in the form of an SD card or hard drive.
If you’re serious about photography, then you’ll need to invest in both internal and external storage. Internal storage will be used for storing your photos and videos, while external storage will be used for backing up your data.
Batteries and chargers
To keep your camera running, you’ll need a few sets of fully-charged batteries. NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries are a good choice for most applications, and they’re easily found in stores. Make sure you get batteries with 2000 mAh or more — the higher the number, the longer they’ll last. You can also use lithium ion batteries, which have a higher power density and can be charged faster, but they’re more expensive.
You’ll also need a charger for your batteries. Most chargers have an indicator light that turns green when the batteries are done charging, so you don’t have to wait around to know when they’re ready to go. If you plan on shooting outdoors or in cold weather, make sure your charger is compatible with an AC outlet or car battery — otherwise, you might not be able to charge your batteries when you need to.
Camera straps
When you’re first starting out with your Rebel T5, you’re going to want to purchase some camera straps. A lot of people make the mistake of using the provided neck strap that comes with the camera, but this is actually not the best option for a few reasons. First, it’s not very comfortable to wear around your neck for long periods of time. Second, it doesn’t provide much support for your camera, which can lead to dropped or damaged equipment.
There are a few different types of straps that you can choose from, and the best one for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. Below are some of the most popular options:
Wrist Strap: This type of strap attaches to your camera’s wrist strap eyelet and wraps around your wrist. It’s a good option if you don’t want to wear a neck strap or if you want an extra layer of protection against dropped cameras.
Neck Strap: A neck strap attaches to your camera’s shoulder strap eyelets and hangs around your neck. It provides more support than the provided neck strap and is more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
Harness: A harness is similar to a neck strap, but it has an additional band that goes around your chest for added support. This is a good option if you plan on doing a lot of outdoor activities with your camera, such as hiking or biking.
Camera bag
In order to take professional photos with your Cannon Rebel T5, you will need a few key pieces of equipment. Firstly, you will need a DSLR camera bag to store and protect your camera and lens. You will also need a tripod to keep your camera still when taking long exposures or zooming in for closeups. Finally, you will need a selection of lenses to help you capture different types of shots.
Tripod
A tripod is an essential piece of equipment for anyone using a DSLR camera, and that includes the Canon Rebel T5. A tripod will help you keep your camera still for those long exposures and prevent shake when using a telephoto lens.
Remote shutter release
A remote shutter release is a device that allows you to take pictures without touching your camera. This is especially useful for long exposures and/or when you want to avoid shake. You can find remote shutter releases that connect to your camera in a variety of ways, including wired, wireless, and infrared.
Flash
There are a couple of specific pieces of equipment that you will need in order to use your Canon Rebel T5 for professional photography. First, you will need a flash. A flash is necessary to help provide additional light when taking pictures, and it can also be used to create special effects. There are many different types of flashes available on the market, so be sure to do some research to find one that will work well with your camera.
Second, you will need a tripod. A tripod is an important piece of equipment for any photographer, but it is especially important if you plan on doing professional photography. A tripod will help to keep your camera steady when taking pictures, which is essential for ensuring that your photos are clear and free of blurriness.
Last, you may also want to consider investing in a camera bag. A camera bag can be very helpful for storing and transporting all of your photography equipment. It is important to find a bag that is sturdy and well-made, so that it can protect your equipment from damage.
Filters
Filters are one of the most important pieces of equipment for your camera. They protect your lens from dust and scratches, and they can also help reduce glare and improve contrast. There are many different types of filters available, so it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.
UV filters are the most popular type of filter, and they’re great for everyday use. They help protect your lens from UV rays, and they can also reduce haze and improve contrast. If you’re looking for a more specialized filter, there are also options available for infrared photography, polarizing filters, and more.
