Depending on the digital camera that you decided to invest in, upgrading the lens to a more versatile or specialized lens may be in order.
How to know what Digital Camera SLR Lens is needed.
While seeming very overwhelming at first, the type of lens is usually the first and easiest thing to be decided. By identifying the typical use of the camera, you can easily identify your needs, and therefore, the type of lens.
Vacations and family trips, usually would require the use of wide angle lens, to get the most image possible into the fame of the image. while, hobby photographers, nature pictures, profiles, etc, tend to move towards the more telephoto or zoom lens types. The zooms are good for portrait and micro images due to the ability to focus the image so tightly, and creating such a shallow depth of field, that the target, for example, a baby's face, is often the only section of the image in focus, while the other sections range from a soft blur, to simply adding color or other effects to the image.
Of course, the more professional photographers will have different needs for their lenses', and those would be matched by the lens that they are looking at. The more complex the need, the more complex the lens, and with the advancements in digital photography, it is easy to get overwhelmed. When this happens, just remember to focus on what your general needs are. 9 times out of 10, the entry level lens is fine for your needs, but if you want to move up to the next level, don't be afraid to experiment, to try out various settings.
