DSLR, no question. Especially when taking pictures of people.
For the last hundred and fifty years people got used to looking into an artificial eye - a lens - much like they look into the eyes of the person behind the camera. The bigger the lens, the more smiles you get as a photographer.
When confronted with any tablet device for picture taking, the person looking at it has the impression that the picture taker "can't think straight" [in german: "hat ein Brett vor dem Kopf"]. You get some confused looks, at best.
I use a DSLR most of the time, but I don't look down at the iPad. I have the newest version and it takes remarkably good and clear photos. It doesn't react fast enough for action, but for a static landscape or posed scene, it is pretty good.
Ipad or DSLR camera?
DSLR! Am i the only person on the blue planet who does not care for the iPad? :-) Veronique
ReplyDeleteI go with the DSLR, too! It looks like a beaut, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors in the photo, Jilly
(An iPad is not at the top of my list :)
