Information about a camera.?



Just wondering about the Cannon G11.

I’m into architectural photography, so I’d quite like clear quality, changeable lenses (not exactly necessary), and if the G11 is more suited to a different thing then..

What sort of camera should I aim at instead? Model and Company name would be great, I’m a beginner as well so clear, helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

any camera will do you… though depends what STYLE of architectural photography you are into…

most compact or bridge cameras will do what you need, though in some cases you might need a wider angle lens for getting the building in (while getting round an obstacle)…

10mm lens on DSLR:

Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church

18mm lens on DSLR:

coloured building

Side of Temple Newsam House

compact camera:

Leeds Civic Hall and Owls

Leeds Trinity Church

    If you are looking for a point and shoot, you cannot go wrong with a G11. Many pro photographers use this as their around town and pocket camera.

    If offers many of the controls of a DSLR with the convenience of a point and shoot.

    Great Choice & Happy Shooting.

    The real deal for architectural photography would be a view camera, with a wide angle or bag bellows and a fairly wide angle lens. You could go the 4×5 route with a 65-75mm lens and film or a 2×3 model with a digital back. (Used 4×5 kit would be much cheaper.)

    If Architectural photography is your interest , look at entry level DSLR cameras instead of a bridge camera. (G-11 is a good camera in its category)It would allow you to use different lens and at some point you would be able to add tilt/shift lens (an expensive proposition) but essential for true architectural photography.

    The G11 is a great camera but not suited to all varieties of architectural photography.

    You will probably want to research 4×5" view cameras with digital backs.

    Also look into FF 35mm dSLR cameras with T/S lenses.
