Hi Steph,

A couple of things to look out for from my experience:

 * Try to purchase a camera with a full-frame sensor. This is a
   requirement for fisheye lenses used in glare analysis.
 * The range of shutter speeds can make a difference as well for the
   measure of very high luminances (1/4000s vs 1/8000s).

Beyond those two use cases, any camera with a manual mode that can adjust the shutter speed quickly will work fine. I recommend to adjust the shutter speed by hand or computer control rather than to rely on auto-bracketing. Still, if you want to go the auto-bracketing route, you may consider a camera that supports a firmware hack like Magic Lantern which gives better bracketing capacity to cheaper DSLR cameras. Otherwise you'll end up needing to buy an EOS 5D or something in a similar price range for a good bracketing functionality.

Best,

Alstan

Hi, I'm new in this group,

We are about to get a DSLR camera for working with HDR and evaluate glare in buildings as part of a University project. Can somebody here give me some orientation about the specific features of the camera that we should look into, for a good performance HDR images? I think that one is that it should be possible to lock the flash to prevent its activation in a darkened environment, another one is that the camera should be able to take continuous images, and an exposure bracketing system to be able to increase/decrease the exposure
(±3 EV), this can be manual but auto bracketing is better.

Is there anything else that we should check before ?

I'd appreciate your help

Steph
