Photographers are notoriously picky when it comes to their camera gear, so when it comes to finding Father’s Day gifts for photography-loving dads you need to get into the details. Consider their current camera situation – are they loyal to a particular brand like Nikon, Canon, Sony or Pentax; do they already own a body they are happy with or are they starting out and seeking out starter packages?
If your father already enjoys photography and owns an impressive camera equipment collection, do some discreet research into which brands he already uses.
Mirrorless cameras offer easy shooting for dad. Many newer mirrorless models can connect via adapters with lenses designed for DSLR cameras, enabling him to keep using his favorite glass with his new body. Furthermore, mirrorless can serve either as primary camera or thin, light secondary camera.
Consider also what type of photographer your dad is before making your purchase decision. Different cameras excel at different things, so when investing in such an expensive piece of gear as a camera body you should make sure its use case fits with what the parent plans on using it for.
Below we have assembled an assortment of the top camera bodies on the market from various premier camera manufacturers – hopefully providing you with perfect Father’s Day gifts.
