Question: Whats the best camera to get for Photography!?
A nicely priced, and good quality camera!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There is no "best camera to get for Photography"!. That is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string!.

Different cameras are good at different things!.
Medium format (Hasselblad, Mamiya) are good for very high quality studio or landscape work!.
With DSLR's, there are differences in cameras which are best for sports, portraiture, still life etc!.
Canon and Nikon are the main ones which professionals use and the high end cameras are expensive!.
Fuji are good and the price is better!.

If you are looking for a general purpose camera for amateur use then the mid-range Nikon, Canon and Fuji are the best ones to look for!.

Check out the differences on www!.dpreview!.com and then get along to your local photography shop and handle different models!.

For no compromise, at any cost photography the Hasselblad H3D is probably the best!. And it is "nicely" priced!.

If purchased in the aftermarket, the Canon 5D probably offers the most performance for the money in the industry!.

A good performer and, in absolute dollars, cheap is the Nikon D50!. $200 for a decent body and a 50mm F/1!.8 lens for $90!.

And rock bottom, give away cheap without compromising quality is something like the Nikon FG20 and a 50mm prime!. $25!.00Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know what "nicely priced" means to you!. The Hasselblad H3D is $30,000!. The Canon 5D is in the $2000 range!. plus you need good L lenses to do it justice!. Each lens is aprx!. $1000!.

Probably the best bang for the buck in a digital SLR is the Nikon D40, which can be had with the kit lens for under $500!.

Film is also most certainly NOT dead if you want to go that route!. You can get a great, used 35mm SLR for a song now a days, and you will learn better photo techniques also!.

The most bang for the buck is on this link:

Although for "Photography", a good used Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR camera would be best !.!.!. that and a class in photography!. They can be found for under $200 on craigslist with a standard zoom lens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a Photographer regards cameras as expendable!. There's no need to spend a lot of money!. Don't expect to be using the same equipment in two years' time!.

I prefer Contax film cameras with Zeiss Lenses!.
An as-new body should be around 300 pounds, lenses 50 to 200 each!.

My Contax 137MA uses four AA batteries easy to get anywhere and cheap!. The lens is an 85mm f1!.4, ie bright and fast!. For film I use Kodachrome for the best colours!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can get a Brand New Pentax K200D, with 18-55mm lens for less than £400, or with the 18-250 lens, £530!.
10!.2mp, anti shake, easy to use!.
