Parth, I have a very different perspective to this. The answer to your question is "No" and I assume you are asking if you need to own a camera before you take up the basic course. I have conducted weekend sessions for many students who don't have cameras by sharing the cameras we have. All that the students need to have is the will to learn, will to wake up early and explore... If after the course you see an interest to buy, based on your interest and budget we recommend and provide necessary help. I hope this answers your question. Call me during the weekend if you need guidance or drop me a message. read less

If you want to continue your passion for photography with experimentation with manual mode then yes you need a DSLR to practice. But if you are talking about providing a DSLR in the Institution then yes we provide a DSLR to all students. Regards, LotusBeam School of Photography

Its almost like asking that I want to go to a school to study. Do I need books. Photography has two aspects to it: Creative and Technical. Creativity does not require a tool like camera but the moment you want to give shape to your creativity, you need a tool which is camera in this case.

You need a lot of practice beside class as well . Your offline practice will be the key to learning. However, If you do not want to invest...

Without camera you can understand the technical part, but to practise it you have your camera so that by practising it the question will come in your mind and get clear about it.

It's better to have one because photography is an creative art and you can master it as you practice but it's not compulsory for learning as the institute will provide you one during the class. For learning basic photography

Go for Canon's EOS L-series lenses, if you are serious about wildlife photography - 200mm or above (with 1.6x factor for DSLRs, it becomes 320mm or higher) . Zoom lenses cause distortion, hence compromise on image quality - but provide greater flexibility compared to fixed focal length lenses. However, L-series lenses are very expensive, even though picture quality is unmatchable. For serious photography use a Canon 650D/700D or 7D body. EOS 1200D is good, but very basic and for beginners only
