I want to buy a studio camera what is the best kind to get? |
im VERY interested in photography. i love taking pictures its on of my favorite things to do and for my birthday i'm asking for a studio camera so i can start entering my work in competitions and such. what kind of camera would be the best to get? Many pros use medium format cameras such as Hasselblad, Mamiya or Rollei ...with digital backs. It's the camera lens that's going to make the difference. Get a cheep, reliable camera with an extraordinary lens and a digital back. The back will cost several thousand dollars. If you want to stay with film ...there are great deals out there on Mamiya RB 67s. I use a Linhof Technika 6x9 Camera that will beat the pants of most other cameras ...but a digital back isn't available. I saw one on eBay for a couple of grand. you have to decide if large format (4x5) or medium format (120) Don't go too crazy with buying a professional camera when many of today's digital camera's are reasonably priced, take great photos, and you can edit (crop, change colors, etc.) with something like Photo shop; if you're a good enough photographer, the camera is but a mere tool for your abilities and talent! Hasselblad http://www.hasselbladusa.com/ Large format cameras are VERY expensive. The best medium format camera is a Hassleblad, also expensive. A less expensive alternative is Bronica. However good 35mm negs can be blown up quite large (I have some enlarged to 20" by 30") without losing definition. For 35mm I would recommend Nikon - one from the top end of the range - for their superb lens. Also choose your film carefully. Something like Velvia for slides and professional print film such are Kodak Portra. CANON 20D |
