Which dslr should i get for HDR photos under $2000 nikon or canon?

Hello! I'm am looking at dslr cameras and I want to pull off pro quality HDR photos of landscapes like ocean, sunsets, clouds. I am looking between nikon and canon. Although I am a beginner in the dslr world I have been selling my photos for good money and am told i'm a...

Best Dslr Under 2000

The in-camera HDR is at this time just a gimmick for poorly skilled users. Anyone taking HDR seriously will do them on the computer with a good tool like photomatix.

For HDR you don't need a very advanced camera. Bracketing is pretty much the only thing to look for.

Landscapes and HDR do mean you need a good tripod, something sturdy and possibly carbon. I prefer a 3 way head for landscapes.

Lenses.. even a simple 18-55 could get you started, a 10-24 may be a nice addition.

Another essential tool is a remote for the camera, reduces vibration. Add a set of nd grads (cokin's H-250 is a nice starter set) and a hood and you're good to go.

anything is good for HDR. my sister shot with a D5000 (came before 5100), and she just used a special program for HDR and wham! great photos. you could use a nooby point and shoot and make quality HDR images (as long as you have bracketing exposure). dont buy a camera based on the "built in" HDR capability. buy a camera that is going to give you want. the choice between the 7D and the 5100 is tough. I am a canon guy. I would go for the 7D. 18MPX will look really good on 20 by 60 canvas. But canon lenses are very expensive. the camera itself (just the body w/ standard kit lens) is about 1800 bucks. but i gaurantee you you will have a great piece of equipment with the 7D. I just upgraded to a 5Dmkii from a nikon D5000. For a while, I considered the 7D because it looked like the perfect camera for me. I ended up going with the 5D, but 60fps shooting and an AMAZING autofocusing system makes me sometimes wish I would have picked differently. (although I just love the full frame on the 5D). If you are a "natural" and you are selling your photos, go with the 7D. A lot of people dont know jack about cameras and they end up buying a 2000 dollar camera to take snapshots of their family going to the zoo. you sound like you are beyond the stages of a beginier. but i dont know enough about you, are you willing to pay alot of money? have u ever used a DSLR before?

buy a program that will do HDR in post. read a book on it. dont go with the "built in" HDR. you will have more control over your HDR if you use a computer program instead of a setting on your camera. I mean, iPhone has built in HDR. you might as well just buy an iphone, right?

but here is the thing. you can take great pictures with ANY camera. you can get virtually the same image with an iphone that you could get on a 5Dmkii. its the photographer behind the camera doing the work, not the camera.

D5100 is a good camera. you can save up money and buy really good lenses. personally, i find the 7D better. it all matters on what kind of photographer you are. it sounds like you are willing to go beyond the typical "cousin susie's birthdy party" photographer. if you are a beginner, go with the d5100. if you are semi-pro. 7D. but you have to ask yourself. are you a beginner.

have fun! :)

It could be the default settings. On either camera they are adjustable. Turning up contrast and sharpness looks more snappy out of the camera. Why not. Well, leaving the dynamic range wider and the sharpness turned down (giving a duller out-of-camera image) leaves more room for software adjustment with fewer artifacts. I don't know about the D5100, but I have found that with my D90 I get the most accurate color setting the picture control to Portrait instead of Standard. I usually have to darken the midtones in software, which is not hard.

Any dslr will do hdr if you know how to operate it properly. Because true hdr involves photographer and editing skills and doesn't really have much to do with the camera so any dslr will work fine.

a friend once told me, "you don't judge a baker on the size of his oven...why would you judge yourself on the price of your camera"

its all in the eye & editing with hdr

BUT. i understand your question and i would say go with the canon 7d. I am a canon lover and suggest it when possible!

It doesn't really matters what camera you are using. You just need the to know how to edit HDR

>You could use photoshop(with hdr process) or photomatix

it is really hard to choose between nikon and canon.
