<p>Hi Michael, what kind of climbing photography will you be doing? Will it be photos of other climbers on sport routes or do you want to take photos while climbing longer mountain routes?<br> Most DSLRs will work fine but I would go with Nikon just now, what´s more important are lenses. What I fine works best is to shoot looking down from above the climber with a wide angle lens, something from 10mm to 35mm on a crop body. Also I don´t know where you live but here in Spain we climb mostly in the shade so it can be quite dark so fast lenes are nice to have. You can also isolate the climber from the background with a fast lens.<br> You can shoot from the ground with a long lens but it´s much harder to get an interesting shot that way.<br> Now if you talking about taking your camera on a climb while climbing say a multi-pitch then maybe one of the Mirrorless cameras would be better.</p>
