The most expensive camera in the world. Camera rating
In this article we will look at several models of cameras that deserve the highest praise. All of them cost a lot of money, but they have completely different functions. The high price is not always due to super-modern technical stuffing, but there are a lot of people ready to pay a tidy sum for a rarity or one of the exhibits of a limited collection.
It is difficult to name the most expensive camera in the world, because there are many models belonging to different categories. We will distribute the most interesting samples by classes and consider each of them.
Equipment for advanced beginners and novice pros
Some photographers consider such models to be semi-professional, but the classifier as such does not exist. Therefore, let us use this conditional and not quite clear definition.
There are only a few models in it. First of all, this camera Nikon D4, for which today it is necessary to lay out about $ 6000. This is a full-frame camera, which can be seen in the hands of many reporters, family and wedding photographers, journalists.
Almost twice as expensive will Pentax 645D. In it you will find two memory card slots, and digging into the settings, you will find several shooting modes. The case, glass, shutter, all components and mechanisms are worked well and reliably. You can work with this camera even at minus 10.
Mamiya ZD - excellent modern technology, devoid of unnecessary details. Its 21-megapixel camera has a huge even by the most modern standards of resource work. The price tag for this camera, like the previous one, fluctuates between 10-10.5 thousand dollars.
In contrast to our next category of technology, in absolutely all three cases the price is due exclusively to technical characteristics. You can be sure that you give money only for quality.
Luxurious decoration
The most expensive camera in the world can not necessarily make the most beautiful photos. Moreover, some of these models will not be able to make a single frame, even the seediest one. But they look just royal! However, the models we are considering are capable of something.
Gold Nikon FA with a standard lens 50mm / f1.4 was released in 1984 with a circulation of 2000 pieces. He also had a predecessor (FM), which did not get into free sale at all. Today, you can find at the auction model of the FA series, the price will average 150-200 thousand rubles. But this camera with a film and modest TTX certainly is not for those who earn additionally by shooting lov-stori on weekends. It is not worth it to wait for high quality personnel. But if you dream of a beautiful trinket trimmed with lizard skin and 24-carat gold, be sure to pay attention to this camera.
Sigma SD1 Wood Edition - quite a modern DSLR, the characteristics of which are unlikely to interest a professional. The company, by the way, produces an absolute analog of this model, made of the most common materials. But the note Wood Edition speaks of the luxurious finish of the device with the noble wood of the hood of the ambush. The camera looks very elegant and stylish. However, even if you are ready for her to part with ten thousand dollars, do not rush to rejoice. In the world there are only 10 such cameras, and to date all of them have already found their owners.
One of the most expensive is the Pentax LX Gold camera, which costs an average of 11.5 thousand euros. It is decorated with excellent varnished leather and 18-carat gold, besides it is limited (the circulation of 1981 was 300 pieces).
Tightened in the skin and Leica M9 Neiman Marcus Edition. Gold is not used in production, but the outer lens is made of sapphire glass. Today one can find one of the 50 cameras released, perhaps at some foreign auction for a lot of money. A few years ago the price in the catalog of expensive gifts was 17.5 tons of dollars.
"Soap dish" among the best
Strangely enough, the company of the most advanced, rare and richly decorated cameras got a soapbox. You can not call it an ordinary one, because there are 380 diamonds on the body. Canon Diamond IXUS is the most expensive digital camera in its class, after all, it will have to pay at least 40 thousand euro for it. None of the technical features can not be said.
Instant printing
Many of those who have found the crisis of the nineties in their lifetime, probably remember the miracle of miracles, which in those days seemed "Polaroid". The price was relatively low, but it was simply impossible to get it in the provinces. This camera, capable of immediately printing footage, was the dream of millions of working people. Its main drawback was the inaccessibility and even higher cost of floppy disks. Today, the camera has no special value (on average, it will cost 250-1500 rubles). But the manufacturer decided to develop the idea.
The Socialmatic model from the company Polaroid, the price of which is about 11-12 thousand rubles, is the best in the class. As in the old days, the camera itself is capable of printing photos.
The most expensive professional cameras
Canon EOS 5D Mark is one of the most popular SLR cameras in the world. On average, the price of carcass will be about 30 thousand dollars, and the final cost you determine, only choosing the lens. Professionals call this camera one of the best in the world. Even if you use a standard kit, you will have great opportunities for shooting a portrait and panoramas, still life and macro, as well as video. What can I say about professional branded optics!
Leica S2-P Camera, the main feature of which is the advanced sensor at 37.5 Mp, has one more important advantage. The manufacturing company provides customers with a "platinum guarantee", which implies full technical support and even a worthy replacement for repairs or preventive maintenance. The price of the gadget is $ 30 thousand.
Panoscan MK-3 Digital 360 Degree Panoramic for 40 000 dollars will allow you to make a panoramic shot at all in 360 degrees. It works about 8 times faster than analogues and is recommended by the manufacturer not only for fans of beautiful personnel, but also for forensic experts.
The 60.5-megapixel matrix of the Phase One P65 + Back camera is a serious application for victory. This device is not only one of the most expensive (40 thousand dollars only for "body"), but definitely one of the best in its class. It is developed after a full analysis of the shortcomings and advantages of all prototypes, and is equipped with a unique function of Sensor + .
The camera Hasselblad H4D-200MS Digital Camera will cost at least $ 40,000. The price is due to the presence of a sensor in 50 megapixel and the ability to take pictures with a resolution of 200 megapixels. The unique technology of Multi-Shot is the company's own development and at times increases the speed of the camera.
This rarity
Susse Frères Daguerreotype is the grandfather of all modern photographic equipment. It was found quite by accident, and according to experts, none of its analogs have survived to the present day. "Old Man" was collected in the distant 1839, so even about the film speech does not go. The captured image was first transferred to the polished plate with the help of a reagent. Then there was a process of developing and printing on paper.
This rarity, the only of its kind, left the auction for 978 thousand dollars. Today it can be seen in one of the museums of Vienna.
"Lake" № 0
The equipment produced by this company never differed in price. An exception was not and Leica 0-Serie Nr.107, which before the auction was estimated at 500 thousand, but an anonymous buyer from Asia laid out for him almost four times more - 1.9 million dollars. At the moment it is the most expensive camera in the world, known to experts. His main competitor (manufactured by Pentax) left the auction for 1.8 million, also to an anonymous buyer.
Is there a limit to the price of photographic equipment?
If you pick up good modern equipment for work and decide to purchase the most expensive SLR camera in the world, be prepared for the fact that the starting price is not the limit. Any photographer knows how much money to invest in a favorite business. We examined only a few models, but often not less than the camera itself are professional lenses. The work will need many more attributes: tripods, trunks, lighting equipment and much more.
– это лишь инструмент в руках человека. However, behind all this, do not forget that even the most expensive camera in the world is just a tool in the hands of a person. No camera will guarantee a good result and will not become more significant than real professionalism, love of art and skill.
