Digital Cameras - What is the best to get!?!?

Question

I'm looking at professional cameras!

What is the best and why?

Answer 1

I would say it depends on how much you want/can spend. Digital cameras, especially professional ones, are so expensive!!!

I know I'm going to buy a Nikon D70s as soon as I can afford it. There's better and more expenisve cameras, but this one isn't too bad for someone who is used to a 35mm SLR camera and wants to make the transition to digital. I currently use a Nikon N65, and I love it because I can set it manually, or use one of the preset modes. It allows me to control aperture and shutter speed to play with depth of field and moving subjects, and the image quality I've gotten so far is really good. The D70s is its digital equivalent, so it will be easier for me to use it. It's relatively cheap (around $1,000 -- sometimes with lens included, it depends on the stores), it has optical zoom and 6.1 Megapixels, which for me is just fine -- I'm not going to make huge prints anyway. It's a camera I would recommend to anybody who wants to buy a digital SLR to start taking professional digital pictures.

Canon also makes good cameras, some photographers say it's even better than Nikon. A Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT is probably a little cheaper than a Nikon D70s and has 8.1 Megapixels.
The Canon EOS D20 8.2 Megapixels is a great camera used by professionals and is in about the same price range as the Nikon D70s. If I end up not getting the Nikon D70s, I'll probably get this one.

Keep in mind, however, that you may also want to buy some extra lenses, wide angles or telephotos, depending on the kind of pictures you are going to take.

Answer 2

This is a difficult answer to give because each camera suits different needs.

Think about what you really want:
-Is a really fast motor drive important?

-Are you wanting to buy an SLR (single lens reflex)camera?

- Is cost a major issue for you?

-What price range are you willing to spend in?

-Does the size/weight of the camera matter?

-What about the pixels (ie usually cameras can run from about 3MP to 7MP). Preferences vary depending on what you are using the photos for?

-Does the type of battery or battery life matter much?

-What are your thoughts about the cost of other camera-related equipment (bags, protective gear, tripod, batteries)?

-Do you have a brand preference?

-What will you be shooting (landscapes, portraits, wildlife, sports, etc)?

-What conditions will you be shooting in (hot beaches, all season, outdoors in winter or rain, indoors, etc)?

There are many other questions but these are some of the basics that you need to be able to answer for yourself. Once you know the answers to these questions, either bring your list to a local camera store or re-post a question on here with those details.

Just fyi:
My bro-in-law uses Nikon professional gear. Very expensive but very worth it and appropriate for what he uses it for.
