Answer 1

A camera is just a tool. You can take close-up's with an inexpensive camera. Just buy a close-up filter. (Like glasses for the camera).

It's the photographer who makes the image. I usually use a medium format camera, but I've take some great images with one of those throw away cameras.

the guy in the first pic is taking a pic with a macro lens or even a low mm lens and the second one is taken with a fish eye lens......you will either need a 35mm camera that lets you change the lenses or a D-SLR ... i shoot with a Nikon D80 and to be honest the pics you have here are just ok....if you get yourself a good D-SLR and learn how to use it then you will be taking better pics then these......good luck and hoped this helped

Answer 3

Totally common!  Any camera could take the first one.  

And any camera could also take the second one if it had a cheap fisheye lens on it.

Answer 4

I'm not sure about the first one, but it may be a macro lens, you can get really close up to a small object and take amazing photos like insects or the insides of flowers.  The second one looks like it may be a fish eye lens.  Usually for those the mm is small like 10-15mm, but I'm not totally sure about that.

Answer 5

I will have to agree with the answers so far.  Any good camera will do these kinds of photos.  The second is using a fish-eye lens which is extreme wide angle or has been photo shopped to look that way.  

I use 4 different generations of cameras and will say while my Nikon D40 DSLR takes good pictures my Pentax K1000 35mm film SLR takes better.  But what determines what camera I use depends on what I am taking pictures of.  I use DSLR, 35mm film SLR, medium format (120) as well as large format (4x5).

Answer 6

its a dslr camera. nikon and canon are the best but i use nikon.  

Answer 7

The second picture looks like it was taken using a fisheye attachment on a DSLR, such as http://porters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv...

There are prime circular fisheye lenses available (around 8mm focal length for APS-C DSLR) which would produce a picture with a more pronounced wide-angle perspective and better sharpness and contrast.

What did you find amazing about the first picture? With a little care, sharp and in focus pictures are possible with virtually any camera. The degree of defocus in the background is easier to achieve in a DSLR, but is probably possible with a superzoom compact.
