You may disagree with the choices, or the topic itself, but this will give you something to think about.

The best landscape camera I have used was an 8x10 view camera I lugged around Mt Palomar. With the effort required to set up a photo you tend take your time to ensure every shot is excellent, or you don't bother setting up.

I would generally agree with the article, based on the reviews I've read and commentary in the industry.

The media/internet sites seems to have an anti-Canon bias which is noticeable in these type of lists. I've noticed it on this site and particularly with camera reviewers on YouTube. What I've also noticed on landscape photographers on Youtube is that some of them use Canon cameras to capture some stunning images. With all that being said, as Lee Trevino once said about golf, its the Indian not the arrow.

So true wdso410 !!!!! Ansel Adams could have outperformed most of us with a Kodak Instamatic. I greatly admire his works.

Jerry, if you want to excel at landscape photography your first choice should be a 4x5 camera and your second one should be a medium format like a Hasselblad or a Pentax 6x7 just to mention two models.
There are many photographers here that will tell you that the Olympus EM-1 Mk II is an excellent tool for landscapes. Search in You Tube for Derek Forss, Olympus Visionary and Mentor and take a good look at his landscape photography using the EM-1 Mk II and Olympus lenses. If that does not convince you I do not know what will.
Any modern and many old cameras can do a very good job with landscape photography with the right lens...if we do our part.

I agree about Ansel A. I could not stand on a 5 foot ladder and kiss his arse as a photographer. I used a 4x5 in the film days. It was lighter than my 645Z but always required a lot of carry along supplies. About Canon, they make as fine a dslr as anyone, and ,no slight on Nikon, there is a reason they lead the world in sales (spoken by a Pentax guy!).

I think most DSLR's and / or MILC's coupled to a high quality wide angle lens mounted on a tripod will perform great.

And I my 4X10 inch Panorama.... Shoot half a sheet of 8x10 inch film. Before getting a real 4X10 Pano, used to shoot half a sheet of 8x10 using a modified dark slide in an 8X10 holder and use rise/fall.

Personally I like what Peter Lik and Ken Dunkin shoot , a Linhof technarama . I have a 645n and a d810. I have to do a lot of stitching ....
