[QUOTE="STM, post: 114411, member: 12827"] Ideally you should choose FX format cameras. The resolving power is ideal for portraiture. There are several good choices out there, the D600, D700 (which I use) and the D800. I don't know how much room you have to shoot, and that could be a big consideration when choosing a lens. The best portrait lens for headshots or 1/4 shots is a 105mm. For other portrait applications, something around 85mm is usually ideal. If you are somewhat space limited and want to do group shots you might have to go as low as 50mm. I would not go any lower than that though as you could then get into problems with perspective distortion. I have a decent amount of working space, about 20 feet or so, and find myself using my 105mm and 85mm Nikkors most of the time. [/QUOTE]
