What is the best type of photography camera?

music x love asked:


I really like taking photos. I’m also actually good at it. I only have a digital camera but I want to get an actual photography camera. I don’t know which type to get. Olympus? Canon? Please help me and give me a link to a site where you can buy the camera (sensible price please). Thank you!

“Film” not “Photography” camera.

The best type is Large Format view cameras.

Roll film is popular too. Any major brand SLR camera will do fine. I like Nikon SLRs because you have access to a legacy of lenses that goes back decades.

Nikon N90s, Nikon FG, and Nikon F3HP are good choices.

4×5″ is absolutely right.

You can find good used 35 mm SLR’s on craigslist in a city near you.

If you want to buy a film camera, buy a single lens reflex. Almost any camera store will have plenty of cheap second-hand film cameras as digital has largely replaced film. Buy a reputable brand such as Nikon, Canon, Pentax. Ask to try the camera first before you buy, and make sure you get the instruction book. You could also consider a digital SLR camera but these will be more expensive. Good digital SLRs give sufficient quality for all general purposes.
