What camera is best for landscapes?

Landscapes need resolution and dynamic range for big prints, weather sealing for bad days, and a wide zoom that takes filters. Autofocus speed barely matters, so older high-resolution bodies are excellent value.

What should I look for in a camera for landscapes?

Landscapes need resolution and dynamic range for big prints, weather sealing for bad days, and a wide zoom that takes filters. Autofocus speed barely matters, so older high-resolution bodies are excellent value.

Is full frame necessary for landscapes?

It helps, through cleaner high-ISO files and shallower depth of field, but a good lens on APS-C will still give excellent results.
