Wedding Special
Nikon D750
Released in 2014, the Nikon D750 is armed with a 24.3
megapixels, EXPEED 4 image-processing engine and ability to
shoot 1080/60p, Full HD movies. As the smallest and lightest
Nikon FX-format model the camera does not compromise
on its features as it sports a 3.2-inch, approximately 1229k-
dot tilting LCD monitor and three-axis hinge. The optical
viewfi nder with 100% frame coverage can also be a boon for
wedding photographers to compose perfectly in crowded
situations.
With an ISO range 100 to 12800 it might not be the best
performer in terms of low light performance but it certainly
gets the job done even after 3 years since its release. Priced
at `1,71,950 this camera is defi nitely a good choice as a
second camera body.
Nikon D500
If you are skeptical about the D750 and want to buy a
camera that has been launched more recently or you are on
a tighter budget then the Nikon D500 is the way to go. The
20.9 megapixel CMOS sensor serves the purpose well and
the 3.2-inch 2,359k-dot tilting RGB LCD touchscreen is quite
handy to use when you want to change settings or chimp
on images quickly. The 4K UHD time-lapse movies is a nice
little addition as well and the10 fps burst mode is sure to help
you out in certain scenarios for sure! Low light performance
of the camera is also quite good and you can easily go upto
3200 without worrying. The ISO range of the camera is 100
to 51200. The price of the camera is `1,41,950 which is also
enticing enough for wedding photographers to grab this one!Sony A7S Mark II
Mirrorless cameras have made a strong comeback into the
wedding scene as more and more companies are focussing
on providing the customers with more lens options etc. If
you are in the market looking for a mirrorless camera as your
second body, the A7S Mark II might just be it! The 12.2 MP
35 mm full frame (35.6 x 23.8 mm), Exmor CMOS sensor
works like a charm providing really crisp images. The BIONZ
X image processing engine is quite fast as well providing
5 fps burst speeds. The 4K movie recording featuring full
pixel readout without pixel binning is also a godsent for all
the photographers who take on clients wishing to have 4k
videos recorded of their wedding. With an ISO 100 to 409600
the `2,14,990 camera might not be affordable for many
photographers as a second body but it is worth every penny.teXt : soUradeeP roy
