If you can please write the type down too :D. Wow, that's like asking, "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
I don't care what people say or how they argue, there is no better professional grade camera. It's all a matter of personal preference.
The only time you get into a better quality is when you are getting into pricing. A $200 point and click digital camera is not the same as a $5,000 professional grade digital camera. But again, the camera isn't what makes the photographs, the photographer does. The camera just records what the photographer wants it to.
For example, I use the FujiFilm S2 Pro and the FujiFilm S3 Pro. I'll continue to use those over Canon or Nikon. Does it mean that FujiFilm is better than Canon or Nikon? No, it's just that I've always used the Fuji S series (S1... S2... S3) and I like it. I know the body inside and out and can easily change to any setting without taking the camera away from my eye and trying to figure out where the aperature control is.
Now, some people will prefer Nikon or Canon because of their status in the photography world. Each one has been around forever and has always produced superior products. Some will argue that one out performs the other or that one produces better images... that's a load of crap. If that was truly the case, one would be used by 90% of the professional photographers out ther as compared to the other one. As it is, Fuji... Canon... Nikon all take on an equal share of use in the professional industry.
Some of the more popular Digital SLR cameras are the Canon EOS-1DS Mark II (due to it's large ccd), the Canon EOS-1DS, the canon EOS 20D, the Nikon D2Xs, the Nikon D2X, the Nikon D1H, the Fujifilm S2 Pro, the FujiFilm S3 Pro and the Kodak DCS 14 Series.
It's all a matter of personal preference. The link below (provided by bhphoto.com) compares a handful of professional grade digital cameras from a wide variety of manufacturers. Check it out as it will give you a nice (though a couple years out of date) breakdown. i have a SAM Sung, and it makes high quality photos I have bought the Nikon D50 It is quite cheap and takes really good picture's Im not a pro but the pics are alot better than the ones I could take with my Sony Canon EOS350D
Nikon D50
Canon EOS20D
I found these topped a Which? survey for digital cameras recently. I like FUJI 4.5 Mega pixel EOS 350D would be my choice. But it also depends on what you want to shoot. Good photography is not just about the camera. It's about you as well. Photo opportunity's are all around you. You do not have to spend a lot of money to get top class results. I have been looking for a good digital slr that is ok for the young professional photographer. I just went around asking anyone I could find--I know peopole who take beautiful stuff with Cannon 20D's, Nikon D70's , anf Fugifilm S series. Some people feel that Fugifilm is the best, and doesn't get enough attention. What I REALLY want is a digital back for my Mamiya 645AFD. Anyone got an extra 12 Grand? :) "As it is, Fuji... Canon... Nikon all take on an equal share of use in the professional industry."
Not even close to being true. Canon dominates the pro digital world and for good reason: Low light, high resolution and quality.
The OP asked for the best professional and there are much better then Canon such as the new 39mp Hasselblad. But for all practical purposes Canon DSLRs in the $4,000 - $7,000 range are at the top. I'm a professional photographer and if you have the money - the Canon EOS 1DS is by far the best professional camera - think of it as the Rolls Royce of all camera gear. If your looking for a large format camera then I would strongly recommend a Hassleblad - but then you are talking big $$$
email me if you have any further queries! Without a doubt - its the Fuji S2. |
