Can anybody suggest best camera for fashion photography?



Can anybody suggest best camera for fashion photography?

Contrary to the previous answer, Large format would not be a logical choice, But yes a hasselblad is a great camera for any kind of photography.

I am assuming however that if you are asking this question then you do not have any experience and would not be doing very large jobs, any kind of Digital slr with at least 12 mega pexils will do.

I prefer Nikon and Fuji but for fashion you may wish to get a Canon much faster at rapid fire shooting
For fancy arty-farty photography, an SLR camera is generally required...... and one photography portfolio / stock image site I've come across only allows you to join if your digital camera is a minimum of 11Megapixel quality (hope you've got an understanding bank manager).

Looking through this site (which is very good for reading up on Digital Cameras): http://www.steves-digicams.com/cameras_d...
You'll find a selection of quality cameras with very scary price tags under thorough review.

I'd suggest looking at the Nikon D200

+ The Fuji Finepix S3 Pro

........ but don't look at the price tags if you're pregnant or suffer from a heart condition.
Top end, large format Cameras like Nikon, Hasselblad etc. will give you the results you need. Keep in mind you will shell out big bucks for a quality camera with the necessary accessories. $2,000.00 plus.

Fashion runway photography? You'll need a fast D/SLR with a powerful external flash. If you're talking digital then the Canon EOS 1DMkII, 1DsMkII, 5D, 30D, Nikon D200, Nikon D2x, D2h or Fuji S3 should all fit your bill.

If you're talking fashion shoots (studio/outdoors) where you need to blow up your output, then it may be worth considering a medium format (contrary to the previous post, nikon and hassleblad don't do large format. Hassleblad does medium format while nikon is mostly 35mm). You can probably get by with a Mamiya, Hassleblad or Pentax for this. You can get them in either film or digital format. However, more importantly would probably be lighting which would also cost quite a bit.
