Blog Post #7: The "Best" Cameras

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what the best cameras are because different cameras work best in better situations. So, I have decided to discuss what the best cameras are in terms of what I would use them for. So here we go:

I really loved shooting with the DSLR Canon 7D this semester! I thought the images were all so crisp and once I finally figured out the logistics of keeping focus, it produced some really beautiful images. I especially loved how easy it was to adjust the settings to create the exact look we were going for, as we did for both my final scene assignment as well as Chris'. Overall, for the right occasion, the 7D is a great camera that is not only affordable but creates beautiful images as well!


As far as shooting dance scenes is concerned, I loved the EX3. It was overall pretty easy to use, and it  created beautiful dance images without ruining the quality of the picture. I also felt like it adjusted well to the lights changing while still keeping the colors rich and beautiful. How could this camera get better?? Well with the larger screen it was easy to be sure the dancers are in the frame and in focus, which makes shooting constant movement of the dancers so much easier. It also has a built in shoulder pad and is relatively light weight, making it easy to move around the stage and at the same time keep steady shots. Overall, the EX3 was by far my favorite camera to shoot dance on. I would love to one day be able to use and purchase one of these for my own!
