Endless Possibilities with the Right Camera

The world is beautiful; stunning subjects surround us everywhere, all the time. These moments deserve to be captured for eternity. Since every photographic situation—and, above all, the preferences of individual photographers—are different, we offer a wide variety of cameras. From smartphones to compact digital cameras and mirrorless cameras, all the way to professional equipment such as SLR and medium-format cameras. But analog cameras are also experiencing a resurgence. Instant cameras, in particular, are setting a new trend. In addition to cameras for photos, you’ll also find camcorders, video cameras, and action cameras at Foto Koch.

When choosing the right digital camera, factors such as quality, flexibility, speed, sensor, resolution, light sensitivity, size, weight, and existing equipment like Lenses and flash units play a central role. These factors should be weighed against your intended use when purchasing a camera. If you travel often or always carry a camera with you, compact and lightweight options are recommended. If you want to achieve the highest possible image quality and don’t need a high degree of portability, professional-grade equipment is recommended. Your personal photographic requirements also play a role. Professional photographers have higher demands regarding resolution, speed, and noise performance (especially at high ISO settings) than amateur photographers.

Sensor size has a decisive impact on image quality. The larger the sensor, the better the dynamic range and the lower the image noise. Furthermore, large sensors have a shallower depth of field, which opens up more options in terms of creativity and spatial depth.

System Cameras - Compact and Flexible

Mirrorless system cameras are becoming increasingly popular. Since they do not use a mirror, they can be designed to be compact. Interchangeable lenses and a variety of accessories provide a high degree of flexibility. Mirrorless cameras also deliver brilliant, SLR-level image quality. This makes them the ideal companion for any photographer looking to travel light while still achieving excellent image quality. Mirrorless system cameras also have advantages in street and travel photography, as their compact size is less likely to startle the subjects being photographed. Some of these cameras are already equipped with large full-frame sensors, offering professional-grade quality. We offer mirrorless cameras from brands such as Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Sony.

SLR and medium-format cameras—the best in quality and flexibility

Digital SLR cameras are the classic choice. One reason for this is decades of development, which has resulted in an enormous selection of lenses, flash units, and other accessories available today. This gives you a level of flexibility unmatched by any other camera system. In addition, SLR cameras excel in terms of speed, which is especially crucial for sports and wildlife photography, as well as for Schnappschüsse where speed is of the essence. Another advantage is the feel of the camera. SLR cameras usually have a better grip and thus fit more comfortably in the hand. When choosing a camera, sensor size is an important factor. SLR cameras are generally available in APS-C format or full-frame sensor sizes. Digital medium-format cameras offer larger sensors. We offer digital SLR cameras from leading manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, and Pentax, among others. Digital medium-format cameras are available from Pentax and Hasselblad, for example.

Compact Cameras—Always With You

Compact digital cameras are the ideal solution for anyone looking for something small and lightweight to fit in their jacket pocket. They’re ready to use in a flash, and thanks to their light weight and small size, you can always take them with you. In addition to classic compact cameras, there’s now a growing focus on more professional models featuring larger sensors, manual settings, and better image quality. These are particularly well-suited for photographers who want a lightweight option for on the go but still want to take high-quality photos. We carry compact cameras from Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh, and Sony, among others.

Full-Frame Cameras - Size Matters

A camera with a full-frame sensor offers even more creative possibilities. Thanks to the larger sensor and the typically higher resolution compared to smaller sensors, images can be reproduced with crystal-clear clarity. Lower image noise and greater detail are also among the advantages of a full-frame camera.
Full-frame cameras are available as both digital SLRs and mirrorless cameras. We carry full-frame cameras from Canon, Leica, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony, among others.

Action Cams—Capturing the Adrenaline

Whether it’s adventurous sports, fascinating underwater worlds, or your next ski vacation—with action cameras, you can capture your experiences for a lifetime, even in extreme situations. Whether you’re taking photos or videos, action cameras and camcorders deliver breathtaking footage.

Analog Cameras—The Good Old Days

Whether it’s instant film or 35mm negatives—analog photography continues to enjoy a large following. Digital photography makes it easier than ever to take great photos. Yet many people still seek the unique look and charm of analog images and turn to the old techniques.

Camcorders - Memories Captured in Moving Images and Sound

Whether it’s a family celebration, a vacation, or a hobby—a camcorder lets you preserve your memories even better, since videos capture the entire scene, movement, and sound. This lets you relive those wonderful memories later on.

Questions About Photography and Cameras

Below, we’ll answer some questions about cameras and photography.

When is the best time to buy cameras at a good price?

Cameras are usually a costly purchase, and we naturally want to offer you the best prices, so be sure to keep an eye on our promotions, the Deal Area, and, of course, our in-store sale. If you don’t necessarily need a new camera, check out our Bargain Bin / Used section.

What accessories do I need for my camera?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this, since you know your specific use cases better than we can without further context. But one thing is clear: Since cameras usually need to be transported, it makes sense to have a suitable bag or backpack to protect your back and your equipment. In addition to a comfortable backpack with plenty of storage space, a tripod is generally a good choice. A tripod offers many possibilities for different types of photography: landscape, architecture, macro, and even studio photography. A small cleaning kit works wonders, because dust accumulates everywhere—and it’s most noticeable on the sensor.

Which cameras are suitable for beginners?

Until a few years ago, the advice would have been to buy an affordable APS-C camera, but now prices are quite similar, and a full-frame camera can be just as suitable for a beginner. This has the advantage that you don’t necessarily have to buy new lenses if you already own a full-frame camera. That’s because there are specific APS-C lenses that can’t be used on full-frame cameras. We recommend buying a mirrorless camera, as it offers many technical advantages, such as autofocus for faces, eyes, animals, and much more.

What lenses do I need to start with?

If you’re still figuring out what you’d like to photograph, you should consider buying 2–3 lenses to start with. For example, a zoom lens and a prime lens. This will challenge you: With the zoom lens, you’ll experience the flexibility it offers, but you’ll have to accept the loss of light intensity. The prime lens forces you to grapple with perspective, framing, and much more. This way, you’ll see which type of lens suits you better. Of course, it won’t help you find your niche just yet, but you’ll gain experience and technical understanding.
