Answer 2

An actual studio camera will cost between $50,000 - $80,000, especially now that everything is shot digitally. You can purchase them from the manufacturer (e.g. Panasonic). The cheapest solution to get a SIMILAR shot is to use a Panasonic DVX100 in 24p mode (24 progressive frames per second). The Panasonic has nice color reproduction and is a solid prosumer camera. Movies are shot 24 fps, and the DVX was the first affordable camera to be able to do this. It still won't look exactly like film, but it's really close. Look at some examples to see if it's close enough.

The cost for a new DVX100 is $2300. You can find them used between $1300 - $2000.

Answer 3

My dad is a professional photographer and he uses a 4,000 dollar Canon ( which is a camera ) a Canon light attachment and also it is not only about the camera you also need a photo umbrella so you can get a blend of natural and camera light and a circle divider so you can use it to block sun or to hold it at the beginning of the pants so you can only get a head shot.
