Supported Canon DSLR Cameras
Canon DSLRs are a good choice for a photobooth. Obviously they take excellent pictures, and very reliable, and you can connect an external flash. But not all DSLRs are created equal, since not all DSLRs offer a live preview, meaning your customers will be able to see themselves before the picture is taken with only some Canon DSLRs.
Here's a list of Canon DSLRs that support Live Preview:
- Canon EOS 20Da
- Canon EOS 40D (no video recording)
- Canon EOS 50D (no video recording)
- Canon EOS 60D
- Canon EOS 77D

- Canon EOS 80D
- Canon EOS 450D aka Rebel XSi
- Canon EOS 500D aka Rebel T1i

In addition to the above, Photoboof works with the following models, although these cameras don't support Live Preview. But note that you can use a webcam for your live preview with these cameras:
- Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II
- Canon EOS 1D Mark II
- Canon EOS 1DS Mark II (no Vista support)
- Canon EOS 30D
- Canon EOS 20D
- Canon EOS 10D (no Vista support)
- Canon EOS 400D (aka XTi) (no video recording)
- Canon EOS 350D (no Vista support)
- Canon EOS 300D (no Vista support)
The following older models do not support remote capture and therefore do not work with Photoboof:
- Canon EOS D60
- Canon EOS D30
Note that Canon dropped support for Windows XP, but we try to support it when possible. Newer DSLRs won't work with XP though.
If you're buying a new Canon DSLR for your photobooth, the Rebel series works very well. You might also have a look at the supported Powershots.
Supported Nikon DSLR Cameras
Nikon DSLRs also work well in a photobooth, and are a bit more forgiving in terms of focusing errors than Canon DSLRs. They also nicely adjust the brightness of the live preview to the available light. Here's a list of supported Nikon DSLRs:
- Nikon D5100, D5200, D5300
- D800, D800E
- D600
- D4
- D7000, D7100
- D90
- D300, D300S
- D700
- D3, D3s, D3x
- D200
Note that the Nikon D3000 series doesn't support tethering, and so won't work with Photoboof. Also, the Nikon D5100 has a hard time auto focusing, so isn't a very good fit for a photobooth.
