What’s the next lens for your Sony Alpha mirrorless camera? A wide-angle prime lens is incredibly versatile, and might just become a new favourite. Sony has two excellent options to choose from that complement their entire line-up of mirrorless cameras. The Sony FE 20mm f1.8 G and Sony FE 24mm f1.4 GM make excellent companions to Sony Alpha cameras to capture sweeping landscapes, night sky photography, tight interiors, vlogging, environmental portraiture, and more.

If your kids are interested in photography but you don’t want to hand over your own camera or smartphone, the Nikon Coolpix W100 is the perfect kid’s camera available at The Camera Store.
Our in-stock refurbished Nikon Coolpix W100 cameras are only $89 (with free shipping or curbside pick-up). This camera is rugged, waterproof and built with kids in mind with large easy to press buttons, and a fun easy to use menu system. I love that my preschooler can roam freely snapping photos and videos around the house, and in the backyard.
