Best Camera Choices for a rig - budget cameras?
davidw:
Hi,
I'm currently considering a rig similar to ones i've seen for up to 8 cameras. I realise that DSLR or mirror framed cameras are the best choice but i'm on a budget for the whole rig and wanted some options.
The DSLR's i've looked at so far is the Nikon D1100 and the new NIkon D3400.
Does anyone have some suggestions?
Thx

I guess you mean Canon 1100D and Nikon D3400...? In that case Nikon has a great advantage in megapixels (24mp vs 12mp). My belief is that any camera above 12 or 14mp can do a very fine job (the more, the better, obviously). Most people here will suggest buying better prime lenses for the task, but being on a tight budget I think you can manage to get good results with the kit lens. Other factors you should consider before you invest in one system or the other are, having your cameras AC powered instead of using batteries, being able to shoot in sync and download images remotely, and light... The more light equals less noise, so better results. 8 cameras can get you pretty far in head scanning, but forget about doing full body scanning for now. Good luck!

I'm going to be using one of these
Canon eos-m6 mirrorless, 24MPixels, APS-C
Canon eos-m50, mirrorless, 24MPixels, APS-C
Probably with the CANON EF-M 22MM F/2 STM LENS.
Test with a single camera here with a mannequin
