What kind of a camera should Ibuy if I want to get intoglamour photography?
I am a novice when it comes to all the features on a professional camera, but I feel like I am ready to graduate from the standard point and shoot cameras. I need a camera with all the features necessary for glamour photography, but simple enough to use and understand for a first timer. Specific cameras I should buy in stores would be appreciated.
First off, you need to learn all you can about a camera-Reciprocity, focal length, film speed, etc. When you get to a certain point, look for a camera that fits you. Look for a camera that is in your price range, but has all the features you want. Think about where you will be in a year, when using that camera. A good camera to start off would be the Nikon D40x, D80, the Pentax K10d, or the Canon DR XTi. All these cameras are excellent cameras, and have a short learning curve. Higher up models include the Nikon D200, the Canon 5D, or the 30D. Sigma has the SD 14, and Fuji has the new S5 Pro. Some store to try would be, Wolfes.com, or B&HPhoto.com. Both are online, and have many yaers of exprience. Another thing to keep in mind is that the lenses make the camera. Don't go out, and buy a $90 18-55mm lens, and expect to get superb shots. Think about a lens that is high in quality. A lens like that, might run you $500+, and sometimes are twice as much as the camera itself. There are however "Prime" lenses. Most of the time they are a 50mm 1.8. These are inexpensive-$120-and very good for just walking around with. The only problem, is that on most DSLR cameras, the 50mm will actually be the equivalent to a 75mm lens on a film camera, due to the conversion. In the end, look for a camera that feels right to you.
Which camera and lens forglamour photography?
I am looking to start glamour photography and I am looking to shoot mostly outdoors(beach, docks, etc) in Miami and also indoors. I am trying to figure out which way to go Canon(??) or Sony Alpha(a200,a350, a700). Also what is the best(bang for your buck) lens and what are the usual lens used in glamour photography?
You need something sealed because of the weather and the sand. Look into the Nikon D3 or the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. Check out the 85mm F/1.4 or F/1.8 and the 24-70mm F/2.8
Hoping to go into glamourphotography which camera?
I looked at a Canons & Nikons, and I really do not know which camera to chose. Does anyone have any ideas on cameras that would be best for glamour photography? I have been using a small 8.5 megapixel fujifilm camera, as well as an old slr camera (I don't know what kind my dad gave it too me)
Either the Canon, or the Nikon will do. The brand name is not as important as other factors. You will want a model with interchangeable lenses, even if you only have one lens at first this will give you the ability to expand later. 8 mega pixel and above is acceptable for most commercial work, but keep in mind the glass is of major importance. Even a 3 Mega pixel camera can take a good picture if it has a decent lens. At minimum you need control of aperture and shutter speed. A bounce flash is a helpful accessory, though other light sources are preferred. Image stabilization is a good feature for low light. Auto focus helps when you are shooting fast, but you should also be able to turn it off and manual focus. You will want to learn to use your equipment well, but you also need to keep in mind that a major portion of glamour photography is not about the camera. It is about working with the person in front of the camera. You will also need to learn to plan shots for them and to direct them. Even the most experienced model is going to walk on to the set and ask "what would you like me to do?"
