The best budget street photography set-up in 2022

Written By Alex Coghe

Recently I talked a lot about my choice for street photography. Now is time to share my recommendations of the best budget street photography set-ups.

A street photography set-up is intended as a camera with one lens. Here is my list:

  • CANON EOS M200 (or M100) with PANCAKE 22mm

  • CANON EOS M50 with PANCAKE 22mm

  • PANASONIC LUMIX GX80 or LX100 + 20mm

  • PANASONIC LUMIX GX80 or LX100 + PANCAKE 14mm

  • SONY A6000 + PANCAKE 16mm

  • RICOH GR

  • SONY DSC-RX100 III + PANCAKE 16MM

  • NIKON Z50 + 28MM

Guys the Nikon turns out to be the most expensive but I wanted to insert it because it seems interesting to me. Too bad that the most pancake lens is zoom and therefore I preferred to insert this one, but it annoys the fact that they didn’t think of a normal/wide angle lens.

On another note I think this post is in progress so please suggest me other set ups.
