Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

Which Camera is the Best?

I am looking for a good starter semi-professional digital camera. I am a beginner photographer and I do not want it to be to expensive, but I am looking for something that I can take pictures with and actually blow them up or sell them and they will look nice. The camera I have right now, is just worthless. Any advice would be great.

1. You should go with a Nikon, or a Cannon. I think those are two of the best to probably start with. The more mega-pixels the better!
2. Go with a cannon, any one is fine
3. A good starter "semi-professional" is the Canon XTi. Save up and get a decent telephoto lens and a macro lens. See the website below for reviews. You'll be amazed with what you'll be able to do.
4. I would recommend a camera with nothing less than 10MP. A semi-professional camera would probably be one of the digital SLR cameras offered by Canon or Nikon. They are fairly inexpensive, but it's the cost of the lenses that will set you back. But, if you can afford it, then maybe look at the 10MP Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) or the 10MP Nikon D80 as good starter digital SLR cameras. The 8MP Canon EOS 30D is one up from the 400D (I would expect a 40D announcement later this year). But remember, a good camera and lenses doesn't automatically mean great photos...it also depends on the photographer to a large degree. If you are a beginner, then you might be happy with a 'prosumer' camera which has good photo quality, as well as good functions and features. Buying one with full manual controls (aperture & shutter priority) is a good idea, as this will allow you to adjust these settings if you want. The 10MP, Canon A640 is a very good camera with full manual controls...but is hardly what I would call a semi-professional camera. It's more of an enthusiast's camera. The Canon G7 is a better camera in terms of photo quality. It also has 10MP. If you are really serious about photography, then investing in a digital SLR would be the way to go. You also need to factor in the cost of a very good lens or two, which is not cheap, but a good investment. good luck...
5. I agree with Petra all the way on this. If you are planning on doing enlargements and selling them, you want 8-10 MP, so you may as well go for one of the current crop of 10 MP cameras. "Not expensive" is a relative term, isn't it? If you are planning on using this camera to earn some money and to be "semi-professional," then you don't want a toy that will not grow with you as your skills and needs grow. If you sell some pictures and generate some income, the camera system will be a legitimate business expense, won't it? Read Petra's answer and follow her advice. It is sound. If you want any more third party verification, go here and see that they have chosen the same cameras she mentioned. http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/3569/10mp-dslr-shootout.html
