I had this friend who ones told me that in profesional photo, there is nothing like canon or nikon, I havent tried them, but I want someone to tell me if pictures, in automatic mode, without flash and standing really still at night came out bright and clear... |
It's not the brand of camera that dictates the quality of the pictures. It's your own knowledge in taking pictures, post-processing skills, etc.
The most important aspect of a good picture equipment wise is the lens that is in front of the camera. A great quality lens on any branded camera can bring out the pictures that you require.
Knowledge of working with the pictures after the shooting can help to bring out your vision.
All night shots require that you use a longer exposure, and a steady tripod. A delay timer on the camera, or a remote will also help steady the camera.
Some camera have nightmodes that will automatically give a long exposure. Just make sure that the flash is turned off.
The bigger the lens the more possiblity that more light will enter the camera. Cameras that have lens about the same size as camera phones will shoot great in the day because there is more light out, thus not so great when it is indoor and at night because there is less light. |
