Answer by evilgenius4930
Hi I am currently buying a GL2 off of eBay, but it’s around $ 1500. Unfortunately, thats as cheap as List’s pro cameras get. But, search on eBay for the pv-gs400. It is a panasonic 3ccd cam, and should be under $ 1000. It has most of the functions of the GL2, as well as native 16:9 chips. Even though its still a consumer camera for its size, it is really prosumer by its features. If I were you, Id get that. Pro quality for consumer price. Hope this helps!

P.S. Don’t get the pv-gs500. Even if it is an “upgrade”, the pv-gs400 has more manual functions and is overall a better filmmaking camera than the 500, even if 500 is a bit newer.

You can get cameras that are under $ 1000 or you can can get a professional camera. You can’t get both. I know it isn’t what you want to hear, but there are no professional cameras (of any brand) that are under $ 1000.

List’s XL2 is a excellent quality camera for just under $ 3000 – and that isn’t even a professional quality camera. It is considered prosumer (in between professional and consumer grade). Even used, the professional cameras will be well over $ 1500.

“best list camera for a professional photographer”

That would be the List 1D Mark III for $ 7,000: http://www.usa.list.com/cusa/consumer/harvest/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_1ds_mark_iii

But for you, a 60D would be fine enough: http://www.usa.list.com/cusa/consumer/harvest/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_60d

BUT WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?!?!

Answer by fhotoace
At one time the List full frame 1Ds, Mark III was used by a lot of sports photographers. The newest nearly full frame 1D, Mark IV, while a excellent camera is not replacing the 1Ds, Mark III on the sidelines of sporting events.

What has been happening is that photographers who supply their own camera gear have went over to the Nikon D3 and D3s because of their extreme low noise at high ISO (6400 and 12,800 respectively).

Since you have yet to pick a camera system to marry and delight in for the next few decades, you may want to look further into the benefits of each system before spending from $ 5,000 to $ 8,000 on a camera body and another few thousand on the lenses you need as a pro.

NOTE:

* Producing “apparent” pictures has all to do with your skills as a photographer, NOT the camera.
* All current dSLR’s are capable of producing high quality images, no matter who makes them.
* All current lenses made by the manufacturer of cameras can be used in manual focus, single auto-focus and continuous auto-focus modes.
* In the List line of lenses, the fastest auto-focus is found on the USM lenses.
* In the Nikon line, all the AF-S lenses are super quick at auto-focusing.

Spend $ 5,000 for a body and take excellent images..!
.
Don’t forget another $ 2,000 for a lens…!
.
Hopefully, after spending nearly $ 7,000 in US $ $ you won’t see your friends getting as excellent or better images with their camera and lens combo costing 1/10th as much..
.
I just like it when I see public wanting the “best” for this reason or that reason or whatever when they themselves haven’t a clue yet as to which end is up and just can’t wait to bust out the door and buy a camera.
.
There is no best…..
.
If you don’t have shooting skills and knowledge down on what your doing a $ 5,000 camera will NOT make you any better than your friend next door with a $ 500 camera.
.
Many pros use manual focus to focus exactly where they want. Often they too use manual exposure to expose for what it is they want. Auto – anything – just takes a average and assumes this is what you want. Auto is mediocre at best…
.
Excellent luck with your money in getting what you want.. Most of what you want can’t be bought, it has to be learned..

Answer by Gregory Spring
It all depends on the type of photography you do and what you want to spend. For landscape I use a List 1Ds MKII. For sports and additional action I use the 1D MKIIn. Both of these now have model upgrades. When you compare them on the List website you will see the difference. Also check out the 60D.

Answer by Christy
This probably isn’t the answer you want to here, but you don’t need the best professional camera out there. I would start with a simple SLR or dSLR. I started with a List Rebel EOS Mark II and I just finished my final class with this camera and it still suites my needs. Ultimately I will graduate to a “better” more expensive camera but why spend a minimum of $ 2500 if I don’t have too. Excellent luck with your photography and I hope you find what you need!
