Do world-class photographers take pictures with high-end film cameras or high-performance digital cameras? Why?

Generally, medium format or large format is used.

At present, only Leica Hasselblad and Pentax cameras have medium format digital cameras. Other machines are not up to standard in many technologies, such as borders, widths and pixels. Nikon. Canon and other brands don't produce it now, and they dare not produce digital Chinese format.

If you don't use a medium format digital camera, use a digital back. (The old film body is added to the digital back) This kind of so-called SLR is usually used, and even the advanced SLR such as 5D2 is usually called. This is not the same thing. It can be understood that it is also a car, but the medium format and the large format are cars. Usually machines like 5D700 are just bicycles.

Generally speaking, all the differences are condensed into one sentence, that is, there are differences in image quality.

PS. Many photographers don't actually pick cameras. For example, Mi Yuan Kangzheng basically doesn't need a good camera. In Nobuyoshi Araki, most people only use old films, and so do many photographers. A camera is like a pen in a painter's hand. A good pen can draw. You can draw famous works without a good pen.
