“I don’t go hunt the street. I just take my camera with me and bring it everywhere I go. If I find something, I’ll shoot it.” says Garance Doré, famed blogger and current Lifestyle Mirror cover girl, of her shooting philosophy. It’s certainly good advice for those of us who love capturing the world through photography—and not just from the lens of our smartphones.

At a time when everyone’s a photographer (I’m talking to you, Instagram), picking the right camera equipment is an essential part of the game. And whether your requisite gear includes a Canon EOS 5D Mark II (as Doré’s boyfriend Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist uses), or a NikonDSLR (NYT veteran Bill Cunningham’s camera of choice), your camera should be more than that little something that also holds your schedule, your contacts, and the weather report.

So when it comes to finding the perfect cameras and camera equipment, we offer a broad spectrum of the choicest selection, from the recently released to the tried and true—each suited to its own time, place, and purpose. And as Doré’s beautiful site reminds us, a quick snap and a photograph are not the same thing—and not everything’s better with a filter.
