What is the best digital camera these days?
Quality-Price-Ratio
|
What do you want to shoot?
What is your budget? Are we talking low end point and shoot or hassleblad? |

budget: 1-6k |
1-6k is one hell of a price range!
|
You can get a good digital camera for $300... anything over than for web stuff is overkill :2 cents:

Canon eos 7d with a fast L series lense. takes care of your photo and video work. and quality is unmatched unless you add another zero to you dollar amount.
but remember as any camera, for pics or vids, it's all about the light! |
Its not the camera it's the light. Any current video camera would be fine. I like Canon so http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._M30_Dual.html
If you want to go up budget the first breakpoint is cameras with a socket for a mic - get the mic off the camera to avoid you heavy breathing and all the handling donks on the sound. But you need more light. These fluoros are dirt cheap now on ebay and good for newbies as they don't get hot so won't set the curtains on fire. Two or three would work. They aren't super bright but will add just enough to boost whatever is in the room already and look kinda natural. 101 of lighting. One in each corner of the room, except the corner behind the model. Lights, just over head height and pointing at the model. Take a white balance off the ceiling (assuming its white) Do not use AWB. Spend the other 5k on models. Build a site. Locate Porsche dealership. |

And good luck keeping it in focus. Video cameras are for video, stills cameras are for stills. |

take warning, the 7d does not do good on auto focus, you need to control it yourself for best results. and you'll have alot of learning to do. if your looking to make ametuer content, any handheld should be fine, try and use natural light if possible! do a little googling and watch vids people made with the 7d |

if your a noob, stick with a handycam. |

Agreed. Some of the setups I've seen at this show are beyond stupid. |

I own 5D MKII's and the ONLY time I shoot video with them is if I'm on location and have an issue with my real video camera. |

anything other than production would be way to hard to use the 7d for. you don't need all those attachment, though alot are nice, it comes down to quality vrs ease of use. the guy I sold my hdr-fx7 to did weddings and it works great for that, and I'm sure for most people its overkill, its hard to shoot with the 7d, I tried switching back to my sony pro-am camera and the difference in the video was so strong that I decided to sell the sony, from that point it was nothing more than a paper weight to me.... if your new, go with a handycam! if your looking for the easy road go with a handycam! if your going for top quality, you have to work for it! |

content quality 10 out of 10, just wanted to throw that out there. but yeah, reading through it seems like a handycam would be better for you. I wouldn't recomend anything under $800. "you usually get what you pay for" but keep in mind, lighting is key! |

And use a decent quality dedicated video camera. |

o yeah one thing to keep in mind, if your shooting different models all the time,
if they are new to the game, they will probably be more comfterable infront of a regular looking camera. if they have been shooting for a while, they'll usually try and do a better job and take things more serious if your equiptment looks more profesional. |
Anyone posting such a question should not buy any camera....
Work with someone who is doing what you want to do, follow the process from idea to screen and you will get an idea of what that camera can do... Even mainstream cinema films change cameras depending on the the script and style of film. How is it possible to guess what camera would suit you? I have no idea what you want to produce. By the way "whats the best car to buy at the moment?" |

Fuck mainstream. Fuck "the process" Fuck the script. Just buy a camera, shoot some porn and don't over think it. It really is that simple. Sheesh. Camera + naked girl, what's the worst that could happen? |
