Useful Features

At all budgets, there are only a few features you should look for in a good digital camera for architectural photography:

• Multiple shooting modes (aperture priority, shutter priority, manual and automatic)
• A good-quality zoom lens (even more important with SLRs, as this will last you for many years and, potentially, multiple camera bodies)
• Good quality images at a high ISO sensitivity
• Lenses with image stabilization or vibration reduction
• A large, bright LCD screen with a histogram option
• Raw format file option
