Why is that Canon 1DX and Nikon D4s cameras are very expensive?

What are the specialty of those cameras? Isn't Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D810 produce better pictures as those cameras? It seems to me that 5D Mark III and D810 offer better value for money than those insanely expensive cameras.

Nikon D3100 setting help for Flags (football game twirlers) IMEDIATE Help NEEDED?

I need help with the settings. Its supposed to be pretty sunny, then pretty cloudy, and I need help with the best specific settings to get pictures of the flag girls. Since the flags are obviously always moving, what would be the best way to get a great crisp clear shot due to the weather? I dont have a mono pod or tripod either.

Best of these DSLR's?

Hello all,

First thing I would like to say is If you're going to reply like a "know it all elitist" and insult me, then please don't reply.

Okay this would be MY first DSLR, I have a lot of experience with DSLR's from the photography classes at my school (Mostly Canon T4i and Nikon D3200 & D7000).

I'm thinking of finally buying my own and I would like your input, I have narrowed my camera's of interest to these:

- Canon T4i / T5i
- Canon 60D
- Nikon D7000

I would mostly be using these cameras for Photography and Video projects.
I'm basically trying to find the best "Bang for Buck" (Under $1000) with these brands (Canon & Nikon).
Could you guys tell me which is the best for my needs from those cameras, or maybe recommend another one you think might be more suiting?

Problems with developed 35mm photos from Walgreen's. What's the cause?

I went to Walgreen's to get a set of 36 photos developed and they came out weird. Some have white lines on the right and some have white lines on the left. Some came out normal like the picture on the bottom. Is this a developing issue or a camera issue? I'm using a Nikon Fe. Please help.Problems with developed 35mm photos from Walgreen s.

Making better photographs?

I'm teaching myself photography and hope to actually take a college course for it soon. I would love to start my own business in family and pet photography one day.

I just can't seem to get that nice soft glow in my pictures. The colour in my pictures and on skin tones is drabby looking. I have a Nikon D5200 and only use manual. I know the jyst of ISO/shutter speed/aperature and I do everything outdoors. I pay attention to my light meter and I do change up the WB.

I know a lot of professionals take lights and reflectors and such but even without those they're pictures are spectacular. It can't be photoshop every time.

I have yet to purchase a good quality photo editing program so for now I use a free one on my computer for general brightness, warmth and sharpness. I usually transfer to my phone to upload on my social media (nobody else to share with) and they look even worse.

Any good tips or websites to get the white balance and colour right?

Thanks!

Photographers: What should my NEXT camera lens be?

Hello fellow photographers and artists of image. I have a question. I consider myself an amateur photographer, but not a novice. I have a D3200 with two lenses. I have the 18-55mm VR Kit lens, as well as my stunning, affordable 50mm f1.8 Nikkor lens. Since I purchased my 50mill prime lens, I have touched my 18-55 very few times. I love the sharpness and speed that my 50mm delivers. I find my 18-55 to be practically useless for my photography needs unless far subjects are in the question.
My main subject of photography are cars. I also enjoy shooting close-up nature subject such as unique plants and animals. Fish, spiders, etc.
But mainly, i would classify myself as a car photographer.
My question to you wise folks is, what should my next lens be in my arsenal?
I understand the 50mm restricts myself to many things such as fixed focal length which can make it more difficult to compose the shot. I rarely stop down to 1.8. Usually between 2.2-3.5 does well on much of my car photos.
My price range is as affordable as i can be. I'd like to see some sharpness like I do with my 50mm but i understand some sharpness sacrificed with zoom lenses vs prime lenses.
Also one more side note: I'd like to produce photos such as the one attached. I believe a telephoto lens gives this nice depth of field and shot for a car photographer.
AGAIN, im still learning so bare with me. ThanksPhotographers: What should my NEXT camera lens be
