Dental photography has become a major part of every dentist’s work. The culture of image is omnipresent and we’re sure you have used the “pics or didn’t happen” phrase yourself. If so, it will be easy for you to believe that pics must be taken also at your work.
Here are 5 reasons why focusing on dental photography will make your career successful.
“Before and after” photographs are the best way to prove that your work is meaningful and really changes the patient’s life
Completing the story of a case is professional and helps with the best possible diagnosis
Attractive dental photos are a powerful and strong marketing tool, easy to use in social media
It’s easier to explain the course of treatment to a patient with photos than without them
You can easily consult your work with other specialists or show it to the public – attractive photos are indispensable here!
Starting from scratch seems difficult, we know it. But don’t worry – we’re here to help you. At Dental Photo Master you can find all the tips, equipment advices, and much more. Enjoy!
The highest resolution Canon cameras ever released are still the 5Ds and 5DsR DSLRs, but that may change pretty soon now. The Canon EOS RS – the manufacturer’s long rumored, highly anticipated and high resolution member of the growing R system family – is making headlines again. According to reports, the “finished product” is now being field tested – and it possesses a sensor in the 90MP region.
As we can read in Canon Rumors, “a small group of photographers have the high-megapixel body in their hands as it’s going through the first phase of testing as a finished product.” This same source tells CR that the camera is “around 90MP”.
The higher resolution and larger EVF would be nods towards the EOS RS’ likely applications for product and other studio work – which means it can be perfect for us, dental photographers.
Matching the color by a dental technician in the mouth of the patient is not often possible. How can we measure this color and transfer it to the lab successfully?
Luckily, we’ve prepared our online training!
These are some of the topics explored in this lesson:
What camera accessories are necessary for well done color transfer?
Why a ring flash is not the best option here?
Shade guides: the crucial tool in adjusting the color by you and your dental technician
Retractors: customized and not customized. What is the difference?
Contrastors: what type should we use to achieve transparency?
Why should you use filters in color matching?
Filter for fluorescent light photography: checking different light conditions

Canon EOS R6: The newest mid-range camera sets industry standards
We bet you know Canon 5D quite well, famous of its gadgets and great resolution. Or maybe you are a fan of the Canon 6D, which is everything we need in most of the cases?
It seems like Canon likes this path. Canon’s EOS R6 is the more affordable flagship of the RF lineup. And it’s a camera that sits in the 6-series as the mirrorless counterpart to the 6D Mark II. The EOS R6 is safe, but also a bit outstanding. Most notable, 4K 60 fps video, 20 fps burst shooting, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, and in-body image stabilization. Along with several highlights features from the flagship 1DX series, with an attractive starting price. Canon aims this upper mid-range mirrorless camera at working pros and enthusiasts looking for an upgrade over the EOS R. But, for those wanting a more affordable option than their pricier EOS R5.
EOS R6 or EOS R5?
In our opinion the EOS R6’s specifications meet our expectations as dental photographers. Maybe it doesn’t set the record when it comes to pixels, but the record is just unnecessary. First of all, it makes the camera more expensive (like e.g. Canon 5D). What’s more, these photos will weigh more and take more space on your disc or computer, and working with them takes way more time. And, frankly speaking, the quality of lighter photos is perfect for everyday’s use in our industry! We’re sure you don’t like spending time on processing the 8K movies, when you can have them in 4K quicker. Most people simply don’t have the storage capacity or the power on their laptops to handle an 8K workflow – and right now, there aren’t a lot of places where 8K files can even be shared.
You might be still thinking about the E0S R5. But is it worth to overpay? The Canon EOS R5 is simply too much camera for most people. Its 8K video in particular is the tech of tomorrow, rather than today. Ditto the 45MP sensor. It sounds great on paper but, if you want an everyday camera or you shoot a lot of fast action, handling hundreds and hundreds of massive files often leaves you feeling that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.
The Canon EOS R6 is a versatile all-round camera that can shoot pretty much anything. Aside from a few differences, it’s essentially an EOS R5 with lower resolution and less high-end video. And it is just enough! Who needs more? Maybe few of us, working with better systems, and that’s it. The EOS R6 is suited for majority of photographers. If you’re content with fewer megapixels, you’ll enjoy this camera and its features.
Things we like
Excellent image quality in both Raw and JPEG and HEIF (a new format of saving more photos with the same resolution than . If you’re an iPhone fan, you might know it already). Note: HEIF is new to the market, so desktop software compatibility is somewhat limited.
Impressive burst shooting rates (12 and 20 fps, depending on mode)
The decent resolution, despite pixel count
Reasonable battery life
Good dynamic range
Twin card slots
The best in-body image stabilization is the best of any full-frame system
Thinks we don’t like
Non-optional noise reduction applied to Raw
no quick way to engage HDR PQ mode
Summary
Is this a good beginner camera?
Possibly. It could be if it meets your budget and circumstances. The Canon EOS R6 isn’t perfect, but it’s really good. It’s a bit on the expensive side at launch, but still not too expensive. The changes made are substantial over the EOS R. And given its current feature set, it’s a worthy long term investment for a beginner. However, it doesn’t offer much guidance, like Canon’s more entry-level bodies such as the EOS 100D. So, it’s better suited for an experienced photographer looking to upgrade from an entry-level camera. EOS RP can be a better option for a beginner.
