I’m doing a research project on photography and was just wondering if there’s a possibility of having a list of cameras you would use for photography.

    I use the following cameras:
    Minolta 7sII – Significant human events
    Leica M3
    Nikon D50 – Snapshots and eBay product photography
    Canon 5D – For producing images that will be printed as digital negatives
    Mamiya RZ67 – For landscape and bodyscape
    Calumet 4×5″ – For pinhole photography, tintypes and Dags
    Wista 8×10″ – For alternative process landscape photography
    I recently saw some gallery wildlife prints that were taken in digital and was astonished by how good they were. However, the landscapes in digital looked terrible. (I couldn’t believe they were hanging on the wall.)
    Tonality and detail is the key to fantastic landscape photography. No hand held digital can deliver that yet. World class landscape photography is still the realm of medium and large format film. No question.

    I take landscape photos, and I prefer a completely manual film camera. I use both 35mm film and medium format film (120 size). I use my digital camera for snapshots when I’m out with my friends, but for real photography I have no interest in digital.
    Lately, I’ve been using my Twin Lens Reflexes cameras more. I would say that my Yashica A is probably the best, although I do have several other medium format cameras now, including a Zeiss Ikon Nettar folding camera that’s probably from the 1930s!
    Other cameras I have and use often:
    - Argus C3 (35mm rangefinder camera)
    - Argus C4 (35mm rangerfinder camera)
    - Argus C3 Matchmatic (35mm rangefinder camera)
    - Minolta SR-1 (35mm SLR camera)
    - Graflex 22 (120 Twin Lens Reflex camera)
    You’ve got to be kidding me if anyone thinks that a digital point and shoot camera can compare with a fully manual film camera. There is no comparison. Especially if you use traditional black and white film and develop it yourself. A REAL optical print developed from an enlarger will blow digital away anyday. Mere_Mortal is right that for photographing wildlife, and in some other situations, digital cameras can be great. But for landscapes…no way.

    All cameras are used for photography. Could you be a bit more specific?
    Take a look at my friend’s site and tell me if his digital camera has the qualities you are looking for….http://tiborvari.exposuremanager.com/g/l…
    or this fellow, who is considered one of the top photographers in the world, he now uses digital exclusively …and carries a point and shot, I might add http://ronrosenstock.com/

    Don’t have cash to buy a building? You not have to worry, just because it’s possible to get the loans to work out such kind of problems. Hence take a consolidation loan to buy all you want.
