1. Long-Lens Cameras: Paparazzi photographers often use cameras with long focal length lenses, allowing them to capture shots from a distance without being detected. These lenses can have focal lengths ranging from 300mm to over 600mm.
2. Telephoto Lenses: Telephoto lenses are similar to long-lens cameras but offer more flexibility and a variable focal length. These lenses allow photographers to adjust the magnification or field of view as needed during shooting.
3. DSLR Cameras: Many paparazzi photographers use professional DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras that provide high-quality images with interchangeable lenses. DSLRs offer manual control over various settings, allowing photographers to achieve the desired shot.
4. Mirrorless Cameras: In recent years, mirrorless cameras have gained popularity among paparazzi photographers as they are often smaller and lighter than DSLRs, making them easier to carry and maneuver in different situations. Mirrorless cameras provide similar image quality as DSLRs while being more compact and quieter.
5. Compact System Cameras (CSCs): These are typically smaller and have fewer features than DSLRs but still offer good image quality and interchangeable lens options.
6. Action Cameras and Drones: Some paparazzi may also use action cameras, such as GoPros or drones, to capture unique and aerial shots of celebrities in various environments.
Remember, paparazzi primarily use cameras and photographic equipment, not musical instruments.
