Advertisement Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Hi sanjay_sahani, Take a look here Which Company makes Top On Line Digital Cameras . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted November 27, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2006 There is no such thing as a best camera. All cameras - like so much in life - are a collection of compromises. It's up to the individual to decide which are important for them, and which are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
egibaud Posted November 27, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 27, 2006 have you seen where you are???? your question is like asking you who is the best lover your girlfriend has ever had!!! what would you answer? yourself or someone else? There are plenty of sites where you can compare cameras. Here you can compare Leica with Leicas, lenses, accesories... although some people will tell you about other makes. But this forum is mostly centered on leica (look at the domain name!) And, at last but not least... your question is to vast, tell what kind of pics you plan to take with your camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcolvin Posted November 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2006 friends pls advise and suggest as to which company makes the best digital camera that money can buy Sony? Leica? Cannon? Nikon? pls also suggest the model number also What kind of camera are you looking for? Compact P&S? SLR? Medium Format? The best digital camera money can buy may be the Hasselblad H3D (39 megapixels). The best digital camera in common usage that money can buy is probably the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (16.7 megapixels). The best digital camera money can buy for street photography (assuming you want to take $8000 worth of camera and lens out on the street) may be the Leica M8 (10.3 megapixels). Note that, while I list the megapixels, unless you are going to make huge enlargements of highly detailed landscapes, anything over about 7 megapixels is plenty. But (reading experience level into your question), you don't need the best that money can buy (or even close) to take outstanding pictures these days. Especially if you're just going to set everything on Auto and print up to 8x10", you can spend very much less and get great images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

like_no_other Posted November 27, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 27, 2006 friends pls advise and suggest as to which company makes the best digital camera that money can buy Sony? Leica? Cannon? Nikon? pls also suggest the model number also Sanjay, The best digital cameras are produced by those companies with highest grade of vertical integration. Best camera in the area of low iso photography is Sony Alpha 100. Best camera for high iso photography is Canon 5d. Next year it will be mixed up a bit.

gogopix Posted November 28, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 28, 2006 As many have found out, if image quiality is your driving factor, it will be most influenced by the glass; no question the top is Leica followed by Zeiss. In MF and LF you can add Rodestock and Schneider, and maybe Cosina Voightlander. It is like cars; the US/Japan products can be ok and cheaper, maybe even 'more for the money', but the best will come from Europe. AND you will pay in more than money; you will need to learn manual focus (like standard transmissions?) and may be rock solid, but not always comfortable, and yes, they will spend time in the 'shop' But they make life worth LIVING, not just getting through! Hope helps. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 160 megapixel a picture, (about 1 Gigabyte per shot) you will need to carry a laptop or portable hard disk unit with you. And a tripod ... The cost? Only $27,000.00. Such a deal !

Enrique Santa Posted November 28, 2006 Share #17 Posted November 28, 2006 I think Hasselblad&leica&Zeiss make the best lenses, but in digital age I think the rest of the quality come from the sensor, and software. My opinion is Japan companies invest more money in I+D than European, so Canon, Sony, Olympus,Nikon,Panasonic and Kodak (for the sensor, and not japanesse) are the leaders. Any case is the same thing with guitars. Here in Spain you can buy a clasical guitar make by the most finest luthier, for an arm or a leg.....but you only will have the explendid sound that the instrument can bring if you are an expert, if you are an amateur player better buy a 1.500€ guitar and the sound will be the same. So my opinion is, that if you are in little -medium impresions of your pics, the are a lot of cams in the market someones very afordable like Leica d lux 3.
