What kind of camera is good for architecture photography? Model number?

First, wide angle is essential, telephoto is enough, and pixels should not be too high. . .

Wide angle must be important. After all, if you don't want to go far away to shoot architectural themes, the focal length must be about 28 mm ... telephoto is enough. Telephoto is used to shoot details. Some high-rise buildings need to enlarge the shooting details. The focal length is not too long, 150mm is enough. Because the camera pixel is quite high now, it is ok to enlarge it on the computer. Telefocus is to shoot details with less distortion, and you can also take portraits when you go out to play. If the pixel is not too high, you can't buy a SLR for 2000 yuan. Anyone who knows the camera knows that the area of a small number of CCD photosensitive elements is very small, and the maximum can only reach about 1/9 of SLR. The smaller the CCD area, the higher the pixels, the worse the image quality and the more noise. If the western structure you don't want to shoot is blocked by noise, don't buy a high-pixel one, preferably not more than 60.

Second, a large aperture is necessary, F2.8 is the minimum requirement, anti-shake is also necessary, and high ISO performance must be good.

There is a simple reason. The larger the aperture, the brighter the light. With anti-shake, it is more suitable for night and indoor shooting. The biggest point of architectural photography is that the scene is very large, so the flash is basically a decoration. Only the anti-shake with large aperture and high ISO performance can you shoot the night scene by hand. After all, light environment planning is also a part of urban planning. . .

Third, moderate size, contempt for periscope lens, strong battery life and focusing speed are also decisive factors.

A big habit of architectural photography is to carry the camera with you, and shoot whatever you want, so it should not be too big, so it should be able to fit into the bag, but it should not be too small, which will affect the feel and be unfavorable for shooting at night. Moreover, small cards generally use periscope lenses, which is the practice of sacrificing imaging for appearance. For dry buildings, we all know that function is more important than body shape, and streamline is more important than space, so this kind of thing that goes against the design concept is absolutely unacceptable. . . Last but not least, the focus must be quick, accurate and firm. Why? Just use the camera to know. Many people suddenly see a good building while driving and want to record it immediately, but the driver can't stop. At this time, the focusing ability of the camera is tested ~ ~ ~
