What would you set as minimum requirements for a camera?
I'm thinking:
Interchangeable lenses
Manual Exposure& focus capable
Raw format
Anything else?
I've been thinking about this, and would be inclined to go at it from a
slightly different angle. I'd break the course up into units, and would
list the equipment needed for each unit.
Composition: A camera.
Digital exposure: A camera that can create histograms, with full manual
control over exposure
Selecting focal length: lenses, or cameras capable of a specific range
of Angle of views. (35mm equiv 28 or wider 40-60, 85 or longer)
Digital processing: A camera capable of shooting raw, or a film camera
and a scanner.
Studio: Manual exposure, histogram or strobe meter(with film), ability
to trigger strobes (pc jack, hot shoe/wireless trigger, manual strobe
with IR filter ...)
macro photography: camera+lens(+diopter?) capable of at least 1:2
magnification.
I would also *strongly* suggest that their life would be a lot easier
with an interchangeable lens camera, capable of shooting raw, with the
following lenses, and list approximate prices that they might be able to
find for the equipment on craigslist.
I might also suggest which assignments that they might be able to share
specialty gear on.
