Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

Beginner photographer looking for a good, solid camera.?

I am looking into buying a camera for more than just casual picture-taking. I'm just getting into photography and would love it if someone could recommend a camera starter kit of some sort and maybe some software for mac too? I am looking into the canon rebel XTI or something sort of like it. Any ideas?

1. I'd look into the Canon Rebel XSi. It has very nice specs for the price! As far as software goes, I'm a fan of Adobe Photoshop but it's very pricey. You might want to look into a free program called GIMP. I hear it's pretty good and free stuff is always nice!
2. The Canon Rebel XTi is great! I highly recommend it! Photoshop Elements 7.0 is a good editing software too!
3. Why not start with something simple like a SLR 35mm K1000 that's expandable with lenses and filters for a relatively inexpensive price. Learn the basics. Then, work your way up to the digital programables.
4. It's really your preference - what features and functions. I like the Nikon D40 for beginners. As a resource for all your camera questions including what camera is right for you, Ken Rockwell has a great site. I hope this helps and good luck!
5. I prefer and recommend the minolta X-700. I use a very versatile 28-70mm Tokina telephoto lense which also has a Macro setting. It can also; automatically adjust the speed and aperiture settings; very handy for the beginner.
6. I would go for the Nikon D40, I got it as my first DSLR and have no regrets! In terms for lenses, it depend what you would need the camera for most. Macros, landscapes etc. I have 70-300mm lens which is a joy to use, but it just depend on your usage for the camera. What ever camera you want, you should buy a camera bag and a memory card (obviously!) A good editing program for a Mac is Photoshop Elements 6, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Systems-Inc-Photoshop-Elements/dp/B0012IMWDW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1236489023&sr=8-1 It isn't as expensive as more top end Photoshop, but it has everything you would need for editing photos. It might be useful to get "the Missing Manual" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Photoshop-Elements-Mac-Missing-Manual/dp/0596519362/ref=pd_bxgy_sw_h__img_b
7. a good solid camera? i had a 35mm pentax that took 10 years of abuse from me horrible abuse, too. i have an olympus e-500 that i've been abusing for about 3 years now...it's holding up well i've heard good things about the canon rebels, you probably won't be disappointed.
8. We realize that there are many bargain professional cameras out there besides the Canon Rebel series. Here's a bargain offering for a Nikon D40X body for $280.00 from samys.com: http://www.samys.com/product_detail.php?item=10225 Good luck!
