Criteria for camera choice number one. hilarious but so true. One of my first DSLRs, I felt needing some pimpin’ out. I added the battery pack, not for extra battery power but for extra street cred. lol. awesome post.

Yeah! (sensors aside) you can’t compare an image taken with 18-105 kit lens on the D7000 vs the 50mm 1.4 Zeiss (bokeh machine!)

I wonder which camera would show up of this “Professional Food Photographer” if we could examine his exif data of his published photos. I would bet on the 5D being the majority winner. The purpose of this uncontrolled experiment eludes me. There are millions of Iphones out there and everyone loves the photos but in a paid photo shoot ?? Imagine being hired by Betty Crocker or Heinz and showing up with your Iphone ??????
I think not, Fstoppers why did you allow this article to be published ??

Actually, I know he’s not strictly basing it on price, but if were were, the Canon S100 does a pretty darn good job of it out-of-camera. The S95/S100 series were specifically designed for superior images disguised in a small point-and-shoot style body, and my S95 has constantly amazed me at the quality of stuff it cranks out.

Photo quality is everything but in the pro world, image does count. If you are doing a paid job for a client, many won’t take you seriously if you walk in the door with a pocket camera, so I still use my Canon 7D for client work. But people who aren’t directly working with clients don’t need to spend that kind of money, for sure.

I can imagine that it would cost $3,500.00 and have a distracting glowing apple on the back of it, yes. LOL

Spot on, this is in no way about shooting food professionally. no comparision of a phase one, hassleblad or leaf which would blow all the above cameras out of the water at food
