What Is Considered Professional Camera At Concerts

What is considered professional person camera equipment?

x years 6 months ago #136190 by Crammer

Nosotros had family BBQ at the house yesterday and one of my brothers friends was admiring my camera and asked if that was considered a professional camera. Now it's just a Nikon D90 which I don't think qualifies as a professional camera in Nikon'southward eyes. I believe this photographic camera is considered a "pro-sumer" camera. Simply it's the skill level that set's i photographer apart from others, not the camera.

But after this question, information technology did get me thinking. At what point does a camera get or considered as a bonified professional camera? I'k going to reference Nikon because that is what I know. Is it the D300, D700 the D3s?

The best answer is..

"If a pro is property it, information technology'south a pro photographic camera."

However, Nikon uses single numbers for what they call their "pro level". They don't include the green or picture settings, that an amateur would use.

You are correct calling the D90 a "prosumer" photographic camera as it has both pro and consumer level functions.

A few decades agone, any SLR was considered a pro level camera, every bit you needed to know a little about photography to operate it. Then Minolta, and some other manufacturers started calculation Auto features to cameras. Many of those features were used past the pros too -- like Discontinuity Priority shooting. Information technology made what we did easier.

Later the "picture" settings evolved. Ex. if you wanted to shoot a flower, you picked the bloom pic (maximizes DoF). Or landscape for a mural (information technology doesn't pop up the flash in low light). For whatsoever y'all were shooting, there was a "cheater" setting. You don't need to know anything near the camera settings. They are chosen for you.

So a new "level" got added to cameras. The prosumer model. It's a pro photographic camera in the hands of a pro, or a consumer (non-pro) camera for everyone else.

I disagree with that quote. A professional photographer could concur a entry level photographic camera or point and shoot and the camera is not a pro camera. The photographer is a pro...not the camera.

The obvious answer is some sort of vertical grip of course.

Honestly I think a cam that has good AF or skillful IQ is a pro camera. It all depends what yous use information technology for.

Though I'd say these are pro cameras (though the manufacturers may characterization them differently).

Canon 7D, 5DII, 1DIV, 1DsIII
Nikon D7000, D700, D3s, D3x

Of course Medium Format etc.

Yous're reading it wrong.

ANY photographic camera held by a pro is a pro camera. See?

You guys are arguing semantics.

1 is saying the skills of the pro makes the difference.

I is saying information technology doesn't matter who's holding it, it doesn't magically change the camera into a better 1.

Both are right and the argument will just run in circles.

Like I alluded to above, in that location's ii sides to this.

Aye a pro can accept a good photo with a crappy camera.

BUT at that place are definitely things that a camera can include that a pro can use to their advantage. Like AF, practiced high ISO, Dynamic Range, stronger bodies etc. etc.

THAT's what make a "pro" photographic camera. All that stuff designed to be used past a pro.

Then yeh ii sides to it. A pro can take a meliorate photo than a amateur with a P&S for example. It'south nice an PC to say things like "a pro makes the photographic camera" or whatever. Only fact is a pro knows what they need and demands more from a camera than an amateur. Therefore camera makers make cameras aimed at these pros who know/need/demand a photographic camera that suits their needs.

These cameras are therefore "pro" cameras.
