Five of the Most Expensive DSLR Cameras
Ah, digital cameras. Whether you are
still a fan of days bygone and the quant charm of the age-old classic the
Polaroid camera or you totally dig the flashy lights and beautiful pixilation
of the digital image, you can't deny, the digital camera has taken the world by
storm. The convenience of not having to make sure you have film on hand all the
time and the ability to have your picture within seconds and not needing to
take them to a camera store to be developed has certainly fuelled this rise in
popularity. But in addition to the convenience of this new digital technology
the rise in quality has been paramount in the rise of digital cameras. But is
there a point where it goes too far?
Let's take a look at five of the most expensive
digital cameras on the market today:
1.
The Hasselblad H4D-200MS Digital Camera
Did we say expensive? Oh
yes, this one is. If you're buying this Hasselblad camera, I hope
you hope you're planning on getting a good insurance plan along with it such
as ProtectYour Bubble DSLR Camera insurance because one of these babies will put a dent
in anyone's wallet. How much of a dent? Well, because these cameras boast one
of the most advanced digital camera systems and can shoot at over 200
megapixels (yikes!). This bad boy can set you back over £29,588! Holy moly...
2.
The Phase One P65
You'll spend £26,300 or
more on this sexy 65-megapixel modern marvel of digital technology from Phase One. It
has a full frame 645 sensor and if you know anything about cameras you know
that this is immense. It's the sensor that is truly impressive here and
will be what the bulk of what your camera price is covering.
3.
The Panoscan MK-3 Digital 360 Degree Panoramic Camera
It may put a £26,300
dent in your back account, but the professionals love this Panoscan for its
ability to take 360-degree photos at amazing speeds (under eight seconds here).
This gem is also compatible with several types of virtual reality technologies.
This thing is so nifty that even law enforcement specialists and militaries
have begun to use it.
4.
The Leica S2-P Camera
There are no bells and
whistles on this one, unless you, like me, consider a beautifully stunning 37.5
megapixels and the most stunning three inch LCD display I've ever had the
pleasure of viewing, bells and whistles. This is a wonderful product offered by
Leica for all serious
digital camera users out there and sells for around £19,725.
5.
The Leica M9 Titanium
While this one is the
functional equivalent of its basic M9 counterpart, you can expect to pay almost
£19,068 for this one, which is about four times what the other costs. Why?
Because the case is in pure titanium and absolutely beautiful. It also boasts
of being a "limited edition" offering.
So, as you can see,
there are some pretty dang wallet-busting entries in the DSLR camera
department. Obviously if you're making any kind of investment as costly as
these, you're going to want to purchase some reliable digital camera insurance,
especially if you're a pro who's banking his entire business on the back of one
of these awesome bad boys. Don't be caught without a way to recoup your costs
if an accident or theft happens to you!
