What digital camera is best for fashion photography?
i dont got the money to buy expensive SLR Camera like nikon. any suggested digital camera i should buy for my fashion photoshoot?

Answer by dotsnail
For fashion, a excellent D-SLR is a must. No one accepts film/slides anymore. Your files should be large enough to allow for control in photoshop without losing detail.

Get the highest model of Nikon COOLPIX you can afford and you will be very pleased. Stay away from Sony if you’re looking elsewhere.

Pleased photographing!

P.S. And you’ll probably find the best deals on eBay…

If you don’t have the money for the camera you need to shoot fashion or any additional professional photography, you may want to any buy a excellent 35 mm Nikon SLR with standard zoom lens and start shooting with it or just wait until you can afford the tools you need.

35 mm SLR’s are near the same in operation as a DSLR and can perform all the tasks that the new DSLR’s do today. After all, for the past 40 years or so, we did not have digital cameras and shot fashion and additional advertising assignments reasonably well.

You can buy a excellent Nikon 35 mm SLR with lens for under $ 200 on craigslist … usually less.

Forget using a P&S camera for any photography that requires tear second shooting … P&S cameras have what is called shutter lag and it is leisurely in seconds, from about 0.5 seconds to over three when a flash is involved. SLR and DSLR cameras measure what small lag they have in milliseconds.

It sounds like you have a fashion shoot plotted, but you have no gear and by your question, no experience any.

You may want to cool your jets and at least take a class or two in photography first and learn how to use a camera and what techniques are required to expose, compose and light fashion.

The huge boys that shoot fashion use cameras that start at $ 10,000 and top out at around $ 40,000 because they already have the lenses they need from the film bodies they have been using for the past ten to fifteen years.

Read this and then breathe a small before you start spending money and plotting photo shoots

Holga HL-N 60mm f/8, mounted on Nikon D700


Image by Johannes Lietz
I got this new toy today, the Holga HL-N 60mm f/8 lens.

It’s a tiny, all plastic lens, with plastic mount and a simple uncoated, plastic lens. Its aperture is fixed and Holga itself states it is f/8, though calculatory it is in fact f/13. The build quality is very low, but hey, what are you expecting for less than 15 Euros, worldwide shipping from Hong Kong built-in.

My first impressions:

- Thanks to the fixed aperture the viewfinder is very dark and you can hardly see what you are framing at, especially in low light.
- Excellent luck with background the focus distance right – the viewfinder is too dark to see anything.
- The official focussing distance is between 0.7 and 10 meters, but images are never really sharp.
- The best way of shooting is the Lomo way: set focus distance by the symbols painted on the lens (one guy, a family, many guys, a mountain) and point & shoot from the hip.
- My D700 hardly ever gets the expose right with the HL-N. I had to underexpose by 1-2 EV all the time, and even then some pictures where still reasonably overexposed.
- The images have the typical Holga softness, but vignetting is hardly visible. Okay, it’s a standard format lens, mounted on a 35mm format camera. But just as the lens arrived today, I heard that Holga has unrestricted a second version of the HL-N, with more vignetting even on DX cameras. I ordered that one today as well, so I will see how it compares.
- Of course on digital the images are missing some characteristics of the 120 film Holga: light leaks, film grain, film that had to be pushed to compensate failed exposures.

Overall: It is a fun small lens, and as a long time Holga camera fan who has become too bone idle to buy, shoot and develop 120 film, I really delight in this lens. But I’m still looking forward to get my hands on that Mk. II version of the HL-N.
