Q for Steve (Photo biz)

Hi Bea, I forgot to mention that if you go with a digital camera do yourself a favour and
ignore todays popular advice about choosing a camera with the highest number of MP's
and built in digital zoom.

Only invest in a SLR Digital camera that uses good old Optical Zoom.

Don't waste your money on the more popular point and shoot non SLR digital cameras.

Just go to google and type in Digital Zoom VS Optical Zoom and learn why.

The best buy for the money today is the Canon Digital Rebel.
I sell a lot of 20 X 30 inch canvas prints taken with my 6.1 MP Canon.

A 10 or 12 MP will set you back at least an extra thousand or two versus $799 for
the Canon Digital Rebel and the extra Mega Pixels won't make much of a difference
unless you plan on making prints larger than 20 x 30 inches.

And the cheaper digital cameras with digital zoom are the worst choice for portrait photography.
It's better to go with a cheap 35mm SLR film camera and a good zoom lens than using a
non SLR digital zoom camera.




Cheers,
Steve Shulenski
