Photography Gear & Techniques

I’ve mostly used zoom lenses so far, but many photographers recommend prime lenses. What are the pros and cons of each, and when is a prime lens really worth the investment?

I struggle with blurry images when shooting indoors or at night. What techniques or settings help improve focus and sharpness in low-light photography? Should I rely more on manual focus or specific lenses?

I want to get into photography but don’t want to spend a fortune. Are there any DSLR or mirrorless cameras under $500 that offer great value for a beginner? Used gear suggestions are also welcome!

I often shoot cityscapes or indoor events in low light, but I don’t always have a tripod with me. What are the best camera settings or accessories (e.g., IS lenses, gimbals) to get sharp photos in those conditions?

I'm currently using a crop-sensor DSLR but considering upgrading to a full-frame mirrorless. Will I see a significant difference in image quality for portraits and landscapes? Or should I invest in better lenses instead?
