How to sell photography

Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

I want to start photography as a hobbie what kind of camera is a good one to buy and should it be digital?

Public Comments

1. I would certainly recommend using digital as the flexibility it creates with editing and saving photos is much better than that of developing film.
2. Best to get a digital one, the old film camera is about to croak. The best cameras on the market for profesionals are from Nikon which will set you back around £500, you can probably find something a bit cheaper to start out with if you cant afford that just now
3. i recomend using a manual camera and developing the images yourself as i think its more rewarding it doesnt matter about the camera, its all about the photograph, you dont need settings or anything like that, you can even make your own filters and effects, manually adjust the shutter speeds and development times but thats my opinion :) good luck, its a great hobby
4. I use sony Cybershot :)
5. go for a canon powershot... it's more of a high-end digital camera with manual settings. yep go digital
6. if you are a novice i would start with a cheapish digital around about 50-150 pounds pixel amount is not really necessary as that only allows larger print outs try one about 5 million pixels and try to buy a camera from ebay there are a lot of cameras on there or at least look there to gauge an idea of what you want in a digital camera
7. I would suggest you start with manual camera(film camera) FM10 will do. Though i own one of those high-end Digital SLR Cameras i still love to use my old FM10.
8. I'd definitely look for one with manual controls, which will give you creative and technical control over your images. I'd also strongly recommend a digital camera - the preview screen and histogram will give you instant feedback and enable you to make adjustments to important images so you can get them 'in the bag' at the second attempt if the first doesn't work... I've used both film and digital and waiting for your film to get processed is not only an extra cost, but it will slow down your learning process greatly.

9. Photography is my hobby and I use a Fujifilm Finepix s700. It does a great job for the kind of photos I take. Photography is a fun and exciting hobby...good luck!
10. First of all I would not recommend getting an SLR, but a camera from the Fujifilm S-series. The S-series cameras have a large Optical zoom and are brilliant introductory camera to photography. Although these may not be as practical for some people because of the size of them (slightly smaller than an SLR). The choice of camera depends on how serious you are about Photography - if you are willing to carry equipment around go for a entry level slr or a Fuji. If not go for a compact camera with the largest optical zoom you can get, digital zooms will reduce the quality of your pictures. Overall, getting a Digital camera would be recommended because they are more practical and cheaper (depending on what you want to do with them). S-series recommendation: http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/consumer/digital/digital-cameras/d-slr-long-zoom/finepix-s5700 Entry level SLR recommendation: http://www.pentax.co.uk/_uk/photo/products/index.php?cameras&gruppe=digital%20slr&produkt=19156&id=uebersicht Hope this helps...
11. I would recommend digital for a number of reasons. No film cost unlike 35 mm. You can view the image on the camera while still in the situation, unlike film. Much easier and less costly over the long-term if you want to do your own post-processing as opposed to learning film developing. Really depends on what you hope to achieve in the hobby aspect and how much you want to invest. Easy enough to have someone develop your film for you, but you don't know until the film is actually developed whether you have achieved a good photo or not - especially while learning. I personally prefer Canon, although Nikon is also a good choice. Both makers are highly competitive with each other and offer very good cameras. Another consideration is do you want a point and shoot or DSLR (digital), and how much do you want to invest in your hobby? www.dpreview.com is a very good site to review comparisons between different cameras, pluses and minuses, so you can make a choice in line with your budget, your preferences and such. Before buying whatever camera you decide on, find a local retailer so that you can hold it, touch it and feel it to make sure it is a comfortable fit in your hands. Then shop around via the web for best price. www.dpreview.com also offers suggestions in that respect. When I began to take photography more seriously, I started with the Canon A710 IS. Good camera for a point and shoot but in retrospect, I regretted not starting with a DSLR to begin with and have since upgraded. However, I still carry my point and shoot everywhere I go as it's lighter and less equipment to carry when I venture out without the specific intent of taking photos for those moments that sort of present themselves.
12. I strongly recommend a digital. You'll be taking alot of pictures that won't turn out and you won't be wasting your $ on film development. Canon has a great line.
13. I would recommend an entry level DSLR. Which can be used as a 'point and shoot', but as you gain in knowledge and experience the camera has the capacity to allow to grow into manually setting, bracketing shots for HDR, panoramas etc.. Any make of camera is good, but I would strongly recommend Pentax as being far better value for money than the usual Canons and Nikons. Just check out the features. Chris
