Most professional car photographers use a DSLR camera with a full-frame sensor. I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II, but any full-frame camera will suffice if you’re on a budget.  The most important consideration for your camera is that it can shoot in Manual mode. This is essential for controlling shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Ensure your kit lens has image stabilization (vibration reduction or VR). Not all lenses do!
