Profesional digital camera

To me, a professional camera means it is bigger and heavier, especially it will have a big camera lens. You can't expect to put your professional camera into your pocket, you will need a bag for it. You can also change the camera lens and all lens for it are quite expensive. If you don't know much about photography, perhaps you can take a worse photo by it than a common one.

How much money do you want to spend? This will be the determining factor as to what camera you buy. My professional camera is a Canon Digital Rebel Xt. It is at the bottom of the professional line from Canon. I purchased it after reading several reviews and I decided on the Canon line. Make sure that you select a camera Brand that you are happy comfortable with. After you purchase the camera body you will then need to purchase lens and accessories. Once you start this it is very expensive to change Camera Systems or Brands. Professional Cameras have greater range in ISO, they usually have a better and larger processor and sensor (upper level cameras have full frame sensors) and they usually have a higher megapixel count. Most Professionl Digital Cameras will allow you to shoot in the RAW Mode. If you are starting from scratch you can expect to spend between $800.00 and $5,000.00 for starter and then you can start buying your extra lens.

It totally depends on what you plan on using the camera for. In terms of the theoretical differences between a pro camera and a 'normal' camera is just a name. The actual differences come in terms of image quality and features the camera has. The higher end of the market you are obviously going to be able to take better pictures in terms of megapixels. Do not be misled by this though. A 12 megapixel camera is only better that say a 10 megapixel camera if you plan on making large prints of your work, for your everyday snapshots it wont visually make a difference. The biggest difference you will see when looking at cameras is essentially cost. Obviously the 'better' the camera the more expensive it is. That i hope would go without saying.....The best thing i can suggest for you to do is work out exactly what it is you plan on taking pictures off, how big you plan on printing the results and in what conditions you are likely to often photograph and armed with this knowledge speak to your local camera store and ask their opinions and generally they will be honest with you and suggest a camera that is right for you.

There are actually several types of professional digital cameras, but what most people refer to are the Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR). These cameras are digital but do everything traditional SLR cameras did. Most importantly, you can control the speed of the shutter, and the aperture size manually. You can also change your ISO setting based on the available light. And manually focus the camera. This allows you to change the look of the photograph to a much greater extent than other cameras. Being able to change lenses is another way you can control the photo. Basically, if you don't understand shutter speeds and apertures then you really don't need a professional camera. You'll just be paying a lot for features you don't understand. There are some DSLRs that are not considered professional cameras. In the Nikon line, the D40 and D50 and consumer cameras, with the D70 being an entry-level professional, and the D80, D200, and D2X being the professional cameras. In Canon the Digital Rebel is a consumer camera, and the 20D a professional one.

You can look at canon Digital REBEL XTI it is 10.2 megapixels camera. Its quite good as a professional camera and as a beginner DSLR or if you are interested in Nikon u can look at Nikon D40x.
