professional photographer who needs a quality camera on the move
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, July 12 2013 @ 01:08 AM EDT
But it always was two products - The quarter-plate or bigger box
where the man disappeared under a black cloth to focus it;
and the Box Brownie.

When the quarter-plate guys moved on to Hasselblads,
the others used Instamatic.

Today's problem is that the line between the camps has been
grayed and fuzzed by non-photographer toy salesmen.

Do what I do. Use older formerly-expensive hardware. :)

My Casio QV3000EX was over US$1000 new 11-12 years ago, and it still works very
well. I picked up a second in mint condition on Amazon for US$35. Professional
grade? Not really, and it's only 3.3 megapixels, but it kicks the iPhone 4
camera I have all over the playground in almost all respects except movies. The
sensors in that thing are FAST compared to inexpensive modern cameras ... I can
take take 90 degree sideshots out my car window while moving at 60+ MPH, and it
almost always nails the shot with good focus and no distortion.

I'm sure there are dozens of other older camera models which are similarly
inexpensive now and still good enough for general photography.
