i want a professional camera and i dont care about price. What is the best one on the market right now?
Hasselblad H3DII-50MS
Answer by Abner Peacock on 06 Jan 2010 09:39:37If you wait a while, the newest Hasselblad H4D60 will become available for about the same cost of the Hasselblad H3Dii50.
The Professional studio cameras are the Hasselblad - 50 mp and 60 mp, Mamiya ZD - 22 mp, Nikon D3x- 25.5 mp
Field cameras (sports, editorial, scientific, industrial, wildlife, medical, fashion, etc) are as follows" Nikon D3s, D700, Canon 1Ds, Mark III, 1D, Mark IV, 5D, Mark II.
I will let you use Yahoo Search to find out the details about each of those cameras and the lens systems they support.
B&H Photo is a good resource to research the cost of them
Nikon D3s is the best for Nikon

and Canon EOS 1D Mark IV is the best for Canon now

You will want to take a look at the Phase One line of cameras, as well as the Hasselblad, if you are looking into medium format Digital cameras.
I provided some links below.
Hope this helps.

That depends:
Do you want dreamy soft bokeh, shallow depth of field and the highest resolutions for portraiture?
Go down the medium format route. Hasselblad and Mayima do systems which are Digital and film compatable.
Do you want maximum control over the depth of field for landscapes with tilt movments and the highest resolution?
Go down the large format route. Something like a cambo or Linhoff with a phase 1 Digital or 8x10 film back.
Do you want blazing fast frame rates and hyper accurate AF with very good resolution and a quick turnaround for press use?
Something like a Nikon D3S or Canon EOS 1 mk3 or mk4 would be ideal.
There are many many types of photography, and many cameras to meet each type.
How you use your camera will determine what you should buy.
As you need a professional camera one can only assume that you see yourself as a professional photographer, but it wasn't very professional to leave out essential information like what kind of photography you do.
Most professionals will know their need well enough that they don't need to ask what to buy.
May I hazard a guess and suggest that you aren't a professional, that perhaps you are even just starting out?
Whether you have lots of money or not I would opt for a lower end budget DSLR.
They are all very good these days and they all have easy modes to help you out, with some manual controls for when you get confident.
Take a class too.
When you've got to grips with the technology and terminology then you should graduate onto a more pro camera, but as the interface is entirely different and designed for experinced users a total novice should not begin with one of these beasts, even if it is the biggest camera at the school sports day.
A novice will get loads of help from an EOS1000D, and none at all from an EOS 1Ds, the pro will get good picture from both, perhaps better ones from the 1ds, a novice will only really get a 1000D working the way they want.
Think about the system as well. You aren't just buying a camera but buying into a camera system.
Both canon and nikon have comprehensive systems of accessories and a wide range of lenses.
If you have serious intent then either system is a fantastic starting point.
An Canon EOS 1000D or Nikon D5000 will both take great pictures out of the box. A Nikon D3 or EOS 1D require a lot more knowledge.

Last word.
you can go for Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III is the best

Answer by mister-damus on 07 Jan 2010 03:13:23Funny question. I say that because if you knew any thing about cameras, you wouldn't be asking it here. So, yes, take your $40,000 dollars, and by the newest Hassi! Oh, and set a few more thousand aside so you can have at least one lens too!
Yeap, a cruel answer, sorry! But to me you are another person, that thinks a professional camera costs about $700.
