What is the best camera to buy if you want super high resolution pictures?

Answer 1

I think Kodak.

Answer 2

If the budget is unlimited, or you are a self-supporting professional, get a medium format Hasselblad.

But for the rest of us folks, look at a DSLR with 10 to 12 megapixels. Nikon, Sony, Canon, and other makers offer models in that range.

DSLR cameras come with the sharpest lenses and will allow you the potential for the best photos.

With any camera, the resolution will be higher if you are shooting at the lowest possible ISO and have a high speed lens.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer 3

The Hasselblad 39 megapixel digital back H3D. Its approximately $39,000.00 but should give you the super high resolution you seek.

Added:
I must disagree with George. A lens "wide open" will give poorer results than when its stopped down to f5.6 or f8 or f11.

Think of the lens as a hose with water flowing through it. Unrestricted, some of the water, if aimed at a target, will hit the center while most of it splashes around. As we begin to restrict the flow (f4) more of the water hits the target with less splashing around. More restriction (f5.6) further increases the water hitting the center of the target. At f8 and then f11 even less water is missing the target. At some point of restriction, however, the water becomes a mist scattering around the target.

Try this simple lens test:

Tape a piece of newspaper to a wall in direct sunlight. Put your camera on a tripod, make sure its level and perfectly parallel with the newsprint, and carefully focus on the newsprint. You should be able to read it clearly.Take a Post-It and write each f-stop on your lens on individual sheets. Now make an exposure at each f-stop. Print 4x6 prints. Now use a magnifying glass to examine each print.

Note the image sharpness from center to edge on each print. Note the light fall-off from center to edge. Is the image equally sharp from center to edge at every f-stop? Is it evenly illuminated from center to edge at each f-stop?

At what f-stop is your image sharpest from center to edge?

At what f-stop is your image most evenly illuminated from center to edge?

With luck it will be the same. If not, you'll know which f-stop to use when center to edge sharpness is more important than center to edge even illumination - and vice versa.

A long time ago Leica offered a 50mm f1.0 lens. Wide open it was a dog but it sold rather well. Back in the old days whenever photographers gathered we'd compare our ultra fast lenses. The one with the Leica 50mm f1.0 won lol!

Answer 4

How about a good old Sinar view camera and a Betterlight 10k-hs digital scanning back, it is good for 416 megapixels(not interpolated). If you don't want to use the digital back you can always shoot film and have it drum scanned. Then again this isn't exactly the answer you were looking for right, you have to be careful about how you phrase things.

Answer 5

Its all about the pixels if you're using digital imaging
if not, don't worry so much about the camera ,but more about the photo grain
I only 400 and up
and for the camera, get a manual camera so you can control the aperture, focus, timing, bracketing, and whatnot

Answer 6

foveon x3 chip

ex. Sigma SD10

Answer 7

probably the canon oltima 400

Answer 8

kodak (thats what i have)
Sony (my second choice)
umm Nikon

I dont like all other ones

go for 8 mega pixels and over

Answer 9

the one with the most mega pixels. its that simple

Answer 10

sony or casio
