Which camera?
The Canon EOS R100 is currently one of the best all-round cameras for photo booth use. It offers excellent image quality and fast Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, making it practical to use autofocus in live view for both still and video booth modes.
The R100 is compact, lightweight, and part of Canon;s modern RF mirrorless system, making it easy to mount in booths while supporting a wide range of lenses via RF or EF adapters. Overall, it provides an excellent balance of performance, reliability, and value for most photo booth setups.
Which Webcam?
Any Windows compatible USB webcam should work along with the built in cameras on devices such as the SurfacePro. Logitech make excellent external webcams.
Which Printer?
The DNP DS620 and DNP RX1 series printers are among the most popular and reliable printers for photo booth use. Both are professional dye-sublimation printers that produce high-quality 300-dpi prints with durable overcoat protection against fingerprints and fading.
The DNP DS620 is known for its very fast printing speeds, producing a 4×6" photo in around 8.3 seconds and supporting formats from 2×6 photo booth strips up to 6×8 prints.
The DNP RX1 is a compact and cost-effective option commonly used in photo booths, capable of printing 4×6" photos in about 15 seconds with a large 700-print capacity per roll, making it well suited for unattended events and high-volume printing.
Which PC?
Breeze requires a PC running Windows 10 or Windows 11. The software itself is very lightweight and can run on modest hardware.
In practice, a system with an Intel i3 (or similar), 4 GB RAM and a 256 GB drive is usually sufficient to run Breeze. However, for smoother everyday Windows use and better reliability at events, we recommend Intel i7, 8 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD. Even simple photo booth systems typically perform well without very high-end hardware.
For touch-based booths, we recommend Elo Touch Solutions displays. Elo produces a wide range of commercial-grade touchscreen monitors and computers designed for continuous public use, making them ideal for photo booths and self-service kiosks.
