i really want to get into photography in peticular fashion photography what would a good camera to use be ?? any suggestions or Tips
and can u use fashion camera for landscape photos (that sounds kinda silly but yeaaa)
An entry level DSLR would be fine. The ability to control off camera flash using triggers on the hotshoe means that Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax would be good choices (Sony has a non-standard hotshoe which is a bit of a pain & requries an adapter).
I’d recommend either Canon or Nikon for good range of compatible lenses.
For studio work, you want lenses in the focal length range of 24mm to about 85mm, so 24-70mm zooms, 35mm primes, 50mm primes, 85mm primes, 18-200mm zooms would all do. You’d need a couple of off camera flashes (either studio strobes or hotshoe flashes), lightstands & light modifiers (umbrellas, sofboxes, beauty dishes, snoots, etc) and some wirelss triggers to fire them with.
This sounds like serious cash, but it’s possible to do the ‘Strobist’ thing on a fairly tight budget. This site is great for beginners;

So when you want to shoot landscapes, then just switch lenses to something more wide angle, if what you’ve got isn’t wide enough, for example 11-16mm, 10-20mm.
Of course, you can always combine & shoot models on location with off camera flash & a stunning landscape!;

An enthusiast can start with a camera which offers at least control of fundamental variables like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, flash (on/off).
Later on one can go full steam with purchase of Digital SLR and lenses.

Fashion is not so much about the camera as much as it’s the lens and the lighting — so you want a DSLR with manual control, and a way to trigger strobes of flash-units. Yes, the same camera can be used for fashion and landscape photos by changing lenses. Here’s a good site that lists cameras by price:
