Question: What's the best/top professional/SLR camera!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Hasselblad 503 is the top overall slr (could be debated but would love to hear from someone that thinks the HD3 can match a drum scanned 120 format image) and the Hasselblad H3D is the top digital slr for studio/commercial work!.

The current best sports/pj/event slr (what 35mm slr's have always been used for) is the D3 with insane speed, lovely full frame colour, and high ISO performance!. The Canon 1Ds, although slower, with a slightly compromised image quality due to it having so many pixels crammed into such a small space, is great for sport if you don't want to spend the $$$ on super tele lenses and prefer to crop in post production!.

Landscape photography is still the domain of the big boys, 4x5/8x10 et al!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nikon d3

or

Canons EOS-1ds mark 3 or EOS1d mark three!.

the 1ds has a ludicrous megapixel count, and is for high end stuff (and a price tag to boot) while the 1d is for sports shooters looking for speed!.

the d3 is a nice compromise between the two!. its fast, farely high res, and a full frame sensor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most of the pro motorsport photographers seem to be submitting Nikon D3 shots!. It seems to have overtaken the Canon 1D as the camera of choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, the H3D is really in a class by itself (being based upon a medium-format camera body design, as opposed to 35mm)

Nikon D3 for studio work, Canon 1ds for sports/wildlife!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

fastest and highest res - canon 1ds mark 3 - in full frame DSLR, 1st choose of sports shooters!. under that the D3 and the 5D

The hassleblad h3d is the true king!.

Just to be honest with you, when you get to equipment that is referred to as "Pro," there is not enough difference to worry about!. Hassys are made by Fuji now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hasselblad H3D is the top pro DSLR!.

I think the top pro film SLRs are the Mamiya RZ67 and the Nikon F6!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
