A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'm starting with architectural photography, could you give me advice on the best camera body, lenses and important features to take into consideration?

You need a large format view camera. The bellows kind, and a couple of lenses. At least a 5x7, or even an 8x10 if you have the cash.

The ability to keep lines straight and perspective correct is why I say a view camera. And I say large format because I believe in the old adage, go big or go home.

Or you can be boring and just get a Canon full frame camera like the 5DSR and a few tilt shift lenses. They are the best you can get if doing architecture as they will help with your perspective correction.
