Answer by BostonSportsFan
Mine was really expensive too. I like my Nikon D80. The D200 is more expensive (the most expensive in that line) but not worth the money in my opinion. I bought my on ebay for $ 1200. If you are starting a business you should really concider dumping some excellent money into it or you won’t be respected as a photographer. My D80 is fantastic and I like it, but even still it is not that professional. It is a 10.2 and takes incredible pictures. I have had it a year now and LOVE it!! Best camera ever! Excellent luck! P.S. You should also get the sparkle with it. An SB600. Fantastic sparkle!!

Used, try eBay or Craigslist or you local pawn shops. Also look at http://www.keh.com, which sells both used and new camera gear.

But if you don’t even know everywhere to *shop* for cameras by now, how do you expect to run a photography business? It takes a lot more than just simply having a camera and lens. I hope you’ve taken some business courses, because it takes a lot of work and skill to be successful in photography.

Since you are starting a new business, what cameras to you have already? The best business practice would be to buy a DSLR body that can be used with your unfilled camera system.

I am surprised you don’t already have cameras from photo school and from learning how to run a camera.

I am sure you know you will have to generate about 3 times the revenue you expect to net. This is after all your flat and variable expenses are paid as well as taxes and any other overhead you can imagine

If you do not already have a camera system, I would recommend Nikon. I’ve been a Nikon user for being and I’ve used Canon as well. Both are brilliant systems but my main reason for prefering Nikon over Canon is how simple they are to use. Settings that I change constantly from picture to picture are right there at my finger tips. I’m sure once you’re used to a Canon it’s just as simple, but it just seems that Nikon are more no-nonsense than Canon. Just my opinion, and an opinion that was formed after by both.

I have a photography business and I would not recommend export anything you’re plotting to try and make a profit on from eBay. Any “retailers” you find online that have a deal that is just “too excellent to be right”, is doubtless because it is. I bought my first DSLR on eBay and fortunately didn’t get burned. But nearly everyone else I know that tried to buy there has.

I always buy new from Adorama.com. They are a really reputable vendor who if you get a product from them and within their return policy choose that you don’t like something, you can send it back, no questions questioned.

As far as Nikon goes, I would recommend getting a D200 (10mp), or the new D300 (12mp i reckon). The D80 and the D40(x) are nice cameras, but they’re not professional grade. They’re not built to professional durability standards, and they don’t use CF memory cards which are the professional standard. I personally have 2x D200′s and LOVE them. I have them both with the optional vertical grip (which allows use of 2 batteries at a time in them instead of 1 without the attachment). This attachment makes taking vertical full body shots so simple!!

If you’re going to be shooting mostly people… get a Fuji. They use Nikon lenses and have the absolute best color for people pictures of any DSLR available. Only terrible thing, their operation is soooooo stinking SLOW!! The menus are confusing and each function on the camera goes at a snails pace. But the picture quality is incredible.

If you’re on a budget, I would recommend export really nice lenses (because lenses will stay current a lot longer than your digital body will) and export a Nikon D70s. It’s only 6mp, but megapixels don’t make better images, they make larger images. The more megapixels there are in your image, the larger print you’ll be able to make. (I shoot sports all the time with a Nikon D2h with it set on 2mp, and I print 5×7′s and 8×10′s all day with no distortion or pixelation to the images.) But yes, spend your money on the lenses and look into export a used or refurbished D70s from Adorama (www.adorama.com). The D70s uses CF memory cards so whenever you have made some money and are ready to step up to a professional grade camera (or pro-sumer as the D200/300 would be) you won’t have to reinvest in a whole new format of memory cards.

Not exactly sure what you’re plotting on shooting, but I shoot a lot of weddings, portraits, and sports… here are the Nikon lenses I use for all of my jobs:

Nikon 10.5mm fisheye
Nikon 12-24mm f/4
Nikon 17-55mm DX f/2.8
Nikon 70-200mm DX VR f/2.8
Nikon 80-400mm VR (use this for sports)

Which ever system you choose to go with, plot to stick with it for a long time. You’ll be investing a lot of money into lenses and bodies and it’ll be money atrophied if a year from now you switch over to the other and then have to rebuy all your lenses for the other system.

Another thing… whatever you do… do not let some camera store jockey sell you on 3rd party lenses. Camera stores make more money promotion you Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc. lenses than they do promotion Canon or Nikon. Whatever system you have, buy those lenses. Canon and Nikon know how to make lenses for their cameras, and they know how to do it better than anyone else. Also, their glass is higher quality. You’ll get what you pay for in export the brand that goes with your camera.

Hope I was of some sort of help…. Just speaking from my own experience in getting situated with my own business and gear.

Don’t forget when you buy, you’ll need memory cards, I recommend SanDisk and Lexar, as I’m sure any other pro would do the same. Don’t mess with off brands. Those are more prone to data loss than anything else. Also, you’ll doubtless need a sparkle…. most cameras have them built in, but they generally don’t sit high enough and can cast a shadow in the bottom of your pictures everywhere the sparkle isn’t reaching over the end of your lens. Also… buy spare batteries. When I bought my D200′s I bought 3 batteries for each to make a total of 4 for each since I was plotting on by the vertical grip attachment that allowed for the use of 2 batteries at a time.

Excellent luck!!

You say you want a ‘better camera’, but we don’t know what camera(s) you now use.

My recommendation is Nikon (notice a trend in your answers?) because I like the flexibiltiy of the system and how the cameras handle.

For most starters, I’d recommend a Nikon D40 or D40x. But if you want to start a photography business, then you’d better invest well. After all, I would hesitate to take my car to a mechanic who had cheap tools. So, my recommendation(s) would be a D80, D300, or D3 – all “very expensive” cameras in comparision.

What type of photography are you plotting to do? Portraits? Sports? News? Advertising? It makes a difference in the camera(s) and lenses you invest in. All excellent solutions will be expensive ones. My current camera bag usually has about $ 4,000 or so of equipment in it, accumulated over the being. And mine is an economy system, compared to the other pros I shoot next to.

It is doubtless a model made by Digital. That is the company name. Do a google search and see if you can find some software for it.

Answer by snowwillow20
Get an external card reader and forget about the software and cord, provided the camera uses some sort of card.
