It has taken me several years to refine my philosophy regarding the best equipment for street photography. I admit to having a strong interest in the gear itself and the ways in which it can help improve creative output. I am not talking about seeing more creatively or influencing creative vision. However, I believe the demanding environment of the street is best navigated with equipment that suits both personal style and creative capture goals.
The following factors are my own criteria for choosing equipment that I believe can make a difference in achieving the best possible shot:
Focal length choices
Maximum lens aperture
Sensor size
Low noise performance
Camera body size & weight
Lens sizes & weights
In-body stabiliation
Focussing agility
Overall lens/body erganomics
Colour profiles
Weatherproofing
Back screen articulation
Dial vs menu balance
Camera menu navigation ease
