* If you are doing landscape then a 4x5" or bigger view camera is best!. You can get away with a Mamiya RZ67 but bigger is always better with landscape!.

* Street photography is still the realm of 35mm rangefinders such as the Leica M6!.

* Sports, Commercial Portrait, Journalism, Wildlife are best suited for a FF dSLR camera such as the Canon 5D Mark II or Nikon D3!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best images come form Film Cameras, but is more expensive to produce the image!.

Digital is by far the easiest & cheapest, as you do not require film, once image transferred to PC it can be deleted and the memory cards used again & gain!.

Only expensive bit is the ink for your Photo Quality Printer!.

But if you wish, Digital Images can be saved as ‘JPEG’ images onto a CD/DVD-ROM then viewed on you TV via your DVD Player!.

For the record – I use both – but mostly Digital now

I use a 4x5 view camera for fine art!. Its a film camera with a negative size of 4 inches by 5 inches!. I find myself using it more and more over my digital!. I also have a a couple of 35mm I still use for slide work!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
