Want to open a photography studio, which is better, Canon or Nikon? Which model is good? What kind of lens do you use? Why? Kneel and beg the relevant people.

Hello, LZ!

There are two points in your question. First of all, what does your studio focus on shooting? Secondly, what is the equipment budget? Such as lighting, not just lenses and cameras.

Since it is a studio, the budget should not be too tight, so I assume that your studio is a portrait, that is to say, it mainly takes portraits, similar to a photo studio.

Machine: Canon

Canon portraits are soft, easy to color in post-processing, wide lens group and strong selectivity.

Model: 5D2, 5D3

1, now many people know that ordinary people SLR. Knowing which is good and which is not, what kind of camera you have will directly affect your business. These two are classic enough.

2, Quan Huafu, both framing and composition are great advantages, mainly the image quality. When it comes to picture quality, the choice of indoor lighting equipment is also very important. Ordinary and good pictures are completely different.

Since it is a studio, the performance of the camera can't be ignored, including durability. Both are aluminum-magnesium alloy fuselage, which is more kind.

4. As for 5D2 or 5D3, it's hard to say. Personally, I would choose 5D3. The advantage of 5D3 focusing system is that it is fast enough; 5D2 focuses slowly, but the price/performance ratio is not good. I suggest you choose 5D3. After all, if the SLR is not that big, you should replace it. After using 5D2, you will feel a qualitative leap. . .

Lens:

Wide angle: 17-40/ 16-35 according to the budget.

Standard zoom: 24-70 (forget the second generation), and the wide angle on the whole body is also very wide. If the budget is tight, the wide angle above can be inferior first, but it is really necessary. A constant large aperture and a very suitable focal length are one of the necessities of the studio.

Telephoto: 70-200L is II F2.8 (the most expensive one, don't ask so much, don't regret buying it. Even if you buy the rest, it is estimated that it won't take long to figure it out. Yours is a studio, not a fan player. It is not practical to carry a tripod without anti-shake on your back. )

Fixed focus: 50 1.4 is enough, mainly used for indoor processing of general close-ups, with telephoto and lever outside. Of course, the room is full of 70-200 shots of portraits. See if your place is big enough.

I wish you success in your career!
