What camera do you recommend for shooting porn? - GoFuckYourself.com

Raf1 · 03-23-2004, 04:17 PM

I'm looking for a digital camera to start shooting porn with. Currently I have two Minolta's (not digital) and I would like to start experimenting with producing adult content. I want to buy a digital camera because it's a lot cheaper, when shooting many photos each day.
What camera do you recommend for shooting porn?
Is the Canon EOS 300D good enough to start shooting (with good lighting) or should I buy something more expensive?

Sig Sauer

You need something with a good auto everything as it can get a little distracting. I use a fujifinepix for dig stills - does the job just fine :-)
Also make sure you have good lighting coz most I imagine will be done inside - shadows are your WORST enemy.

I have done studio photos before, but I don't know much about digital cameras

I've tried shooting some pics of my girlfriend with a digital camera a while ago, but the camera wasn't so good, so it was hard to experiment with.

Canon Digital Rebel, my very good brotha.

All my video and still photo equipment has been Canon for the last five years. I have a couple of good Canon Ultrasonic lenses from my conventiional SLR so when I went digital I purchased a Digital Rebel (300D) kit that included a short lens and a couple of 1 Gb Compact Flash cards. I like lightness of the body for one handed on-the-set operation and the interchangability with my longer Canon lenses.

there are many cameras that are good for website work, depends on the type of photography you are doing and your budget.

for pro work a digital SLR is good because you can change lenses to give different effects.

if you are on a tight budget probably the best image quality for the money right now is the canon digital rebel, very impressive color.

also excellent cameras for good color are nikon d100 series and fuji pro. (good color and pleasing skin tone is important for web work)

if super high resolution is needed (cameras with super high resolution can usually deliver better apparent image quality even in small file sizes) the canon 1ds is probably king, with a close second being the kodak 14n (if used at low iso).

for a small compact probably the best all-around camera for the money is the canon "G" series, with used ones on ebay going for 200 and up.

but having said all that the photographer is a much more important factor than the camera in creating good photographs.

don't listen to these guys...

If your going to do porn do it right!

Cindyff · 03-23-2004, 05:38 PM

Our photographer uses the Kodak pro/n You can get it as a Nikon or Canon mount , excellent value and gives fantastic results

SubSonic · 03-23-2004, 05:41 PM

Canon 1D, 10D or the Olympus E1 .... they're all great cameras

Raf1 · 03-23-2004, 05:49 PM

Thanks for the info

Do you know if there are any digital Minolta's worth buying for about $1K? (just the body). I have a few good lenses from my Minolta's and it would save me some money if I didn't have to buy new ones.

KRL · 03-23-2004, 05:55 PM

Try the Smith & Wesson 44 Megapixel. Clint Eastwood shoots all his content with it.

On a serious note Canon or Nikon.

stevo · 03-23-2004, 06:00 PM

canon eos 10d

TweetyBird · 03-23-2004, 06:03 PM

I'd say go with Nikon's D70

Ash@phpFX · 03-23-2004, 06:49 PM

ive heard lots of good things about the cannon 10d, i havent used one myself though

Paul Markham · 03-23-2004, 10:33 PM

Believe it or not but I used to shoot POV with cameras like this.

Canon 10D or Nikon D100, we use the D100 and D1X

Raf1 · 03-24-2004, 12:06 AM

So I guess Minolta digital cameras aren't that good. I think I'll go with the Canon 10D.

leg4 · 03-24-2004, 12:19 AM

I now use the Sony DSC-F828

8megapix

7x optical zoom

Carl Zeiss lens

very nice "EASY" cam
