Help in Selecting Digital Camera
Posted: April 13, 2006 - 7:09am

Hi,
I have been doing wedding photography for a couple of years now. I still use film, but I want to switch to digital. What are the main features of a digital SLR that I need to look for when shopping for a camera? How many Megapixels do I need to be able to produce good quality enlargements up to 11x14, 16x20, and possibly even larger? Thanks for the help!

If it's your job and you use Canon, get the 1DS Mark II to be able to capture the highest quality images possible. If you use Nikon, get the D2X. You can't compromise your photography by saving money on a camera body. Your backup bodies can be the Canon D5 or the Nikon D200.

If possible, find out what your competition is using.

Besides the regular proofs, you should also be showing your clients their wedding as digitally projected images at the size you want them to order prints.

Thanks! How many MegaPixels do I need for quality enlargements? What other features do I need to look for in a digital SLR?
