What types of cameras are commonly used in wedding photography? There are three main types of cameras used in wedding photography. They are 35mm cameras, digital cameras, and medium format cameras. In this digital age, 35mm is still a widely used camera for wedding photography. These are used mainly for fast action wedding shots. They are valued for their durability, compactness, and ease of use. Digital cameras have become much more popular, even preferred for wedding photography. The quality of photos is just good as film, there is no processing time, no risk of damaging negatives, and photos can easily be adjusted for a better outcome. Medium Format cameras produce a negative that is up to three times larger than one from a 35mm camera, without a loss of detail. However, Medium Format cameras are much larger than 35mm's and digital cameras. A fourth type of camera that may be used in a studio for a pre-wedding shot is a Large Format camera. These cameras are stationary due to their size and weight. They are mainly used for commercial studio photography. Although these cameras hold an excellent lens, the prices for photos taken with this camera can be quite pricey.
