What are the Best Professional Digital Cameras on the market?

I’ve searched the web to find the best Digital SLR’s but there is no set answer. Any suggestions?

Answer by Nick vanderwaarden
The most expensive ones.

For truly professional results you need to spend many thousands of dollars. For just snap shots no larger than A4 size, the medium prized Nikon or Canon are great.

Answer by Koko
the reason why there’s no set answer to your research is because a part of it does depend on the photographer too. So just go get any dslr and make it work.

A little clarification here, if you don’t mind.

The Nikon D40, while it is a nice little entry level DSLR is most definitely NOT “Professional.”

By definition, a Professional camera is one that is built using the highest quality materials (think magnesium and steel instead of plastic!), that is constructed for rigorous use and that is sealed to withstand moisture and dust.

Of course one can take “professional” pictures with just about any camera – assuming that you’re being paid for them (which is the only definition of the word professional.)

But serious, well-trained and experienced professionals are not likely to be using a Nikon D40, D60 or any Canon Rebel. Oh, some pros might carry one of those as a backup camera in case their main camera fails in the middle of a job. But they most certainly won’t rely on one for extended service over a long period of time.

Sorry for sounding preachy. But this crap about beginner’s cameras being “professional” just gets really out of hand.

So … to answer your question: probably the two most highly regarded and often used “professional” DLRs around today are the Canon Mark II (or III, or whatever the latest full frame one is) and the Nikon D3. Both cost several thousand dollars.

Match either up with a decent complement of professional quality lenses and flashes + a LOT of experience and real photographic education … and you’ll be ready to go.

For professional photography, there is no substitute for a Hasselblad. Of course, the damned things cost the equivalent of the gross national product of a small country, which is why I use a Kodak. Click on the link to check them out.

Answer by Lost Soul
Hassebald is the best but most pro photographers use
the Nikon D2X.. it’s pricey too…

Answer by neil_thecameraguy
It depends on what type of professional photography you are talking about. The Hassleblad H3D would be the one for studio type work, the new Canon 1DIII for sports, an small Olympus point and shoot like the C5050z would be great for photojournalism….I could go on.
