Which Digital Camera Is More Suitable? I am a professional fashion photographer. Many of my images are used in big hoardings. Which digital camera - a compact with 8 megapixels or an SLR with 6.3 MP - is more suitable for my job?

Bijay: I have tested all of the 8MP cameras and 6MP SLRs. The 6MP SLR cameras produce cleaner images that can be enlarged to much larger sizes (in Photoshop) while maintaining excellent image quality. Cheers!

It depends from the money you can spend... :) U should try EOS MARK II, 8 MP slr camera, very very fast and if you allreday own an EOS u could use all your lenses. EOS D10 is an also fine choice, D70 is cheaper but the 200ISO in a negative for you I think. Dont buy a compact camera the new SLR's are very very good especially for your kind of job.

Hi Bijay. I agree with Peter and Thanos. EOS 1Dmk2 or a D10 will give the best results. What format are you using currently? The best digital SLRs give images roughly equivalent to 35mm. If you are using MF you may be disappointed with digital at the magnifications you are contemplating. Of course you could get a digital back for your MF, get out the $$$$$$$$$$. Cheers

Some chip in the digital SLRs is bigger so you can get bigger sharper photos with a smaller megipixal camera than you can with a compact. And of course on a compact you are limited in your capabilities compared to the SLR body. This is why I don't understand the rush for us consumers to go with digital. Your shooting creativity in the foot and creativity done through the lens is a huge part of photography. Look for a digital body that will accept your current lenes. That will be the same brand as you are using now, and you won't have to buy all your equiptment twice.
