I have a 5mp digital camera and the quality is ok. What to see if there is a better camera to use. Im into graphics and looking to get into photography. Want a camera that photographers use.Whats the price range on a camera like that and what would be a good camera? The camera you have should be good enough I my self have a samsung v5 which like yours is a 5 mega pixel and in my opinion is a grate camera it has a Schneider lens and is quite small and packed with features to answer your question though i would wait till you are a good photographer before buying a really good camera because your camera is only as good as the guy taking the pictures and it sounds like for now you have a good camera....good luck Price doesn't exactly matter, although it does help you guess how good of a camera it is. You want a camera with a great zoom and eye for detail canon rebel is in the thousands Nikon and Hasselblad Actually a good lens is just as important as a camera. Get a Digital SLR camera like a Nikon (my preference) or a Canon.
For a Nikon or Canon SLR you can expect to spend 500 at the least, and it can go up to 5000.
The Nikon 18-200mm lens is probably one of the best lenses available and it's about 750+ depending on where you look. Good luck :)
Edit: I forgot to mention. Don't get sucked into the Megapixel myth. A camera with a high megapixel number does not equal a good camera. http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat...
Check out Nikon's webpage. They are a leader in camera's of professional quality. The most popular digital ones are the D40 and D50. There are others as well though. You can find some good old fashioned film cameras on there site as well. For a professional quality camera, you're looking at about $1000 or so. If this is something you are going to get into, great, go for it. Otherwise play around with a cheaper camera that still has the manual controls so you can get the hang of it. Good luck. As has been mentioned - the lens is as important, if not more so, than the camera itself. Before you buy, check the lens availability and the quality.
That being said, I have sold images made with a 6MP camera with a decent lens. A lot of it depends on what you are taking images of and your skill.
The major names in entry level DSLR right now are Canon Digital Rebel, Nikon D80, Sony Alpha, and Pentax K10D and K100D.
Each has its strong points. Canon and Nikon have an amazing array of lenses available. Pentax glass is second to none. Sony hits the middle of the road on most everything.

http://photography.about.com The most important thing is to udnerstand how to take a good picture. The photographer is the most important thing in photography.
A good photographer can take your camera and make a great image from it. You need to understand the basics of photography, composition and understand your equipment, to the point that when you press the shutter you already know what the image will look like before you preview it.
Once you get that down....then think...is the camera I use holding me back? If after all that you say, yes, then you are ready to upgrade your camera. How about a fairly decent SLR, with a pro photog behind the lens.
Professional quality comes from experience, not gadgets. |
