I would suggest going to a camera store and seeing what they have. Some stores have used cameras that you can start out with that are not expensive then you can go from there.

If you are lucky you'll get to use a fully manual 35mm film camera and process your film and make prints from your negatives. You will learn about light, f-stops, ISO, shutter speeds and composition. Once you understand these and can use them then you can start thinking about which camera to buy. After all, you take classes in math and science and history to learn them. Photography is no different. You learn to drive and get your license before you buy a car. Photography is no different. Search on ebay and amazon for this book: "Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition" by George M. Craven. Photography Feedback: First, take some photography classes.

The digital zoom doesn't seem to enlarge as well. It pixulates the picture and it becomes blury. A 10x optical is pretty good. Mine is only 3 and does a nice job for my use.

Digital is the easiest to use and be able to see your pictures quickly, you can delete the ones you don't want and save paper. You'll probably want one that is at least a 4 megapixle for good resolution up to 8x10 prints. 35 mm is a good format for film cameras. Check around on the web for info and pricing also you could get a photography magazine. Here are a couple of links.

I have managed to make a fairly good living out of it over the years and enjoyed all the nice benefits of being self employed. You can also do this and I have a few tips for you to get started. It sounds to me like you are interested and have a not very flexible, but decent picture taking camera. If you don't already have one, your next step should be a decent quality color ink jet printer (the HP series printers that use the 02 series ink cartridges will make nice color prints and can be had at a fairly resaonable cost). Take a ton of pictures. Be very criticle of your work and start to print up a portfolio of only your best photos. Show your portfolio to anyone who seems interested in seeing it. Enter every amateur photo contest you can find and don't be disapointed if you don't win them all, just keep trying. At age 15, I assume you are probably in High School. Get on you yearbook photo staff and School Newspaper staff if you can, and work hard at it. Take any technical photography courses or classes you can find. Stay away from most artsy courses as those courses are nice but will never prepare you to make an actual living in photography. Do not take courses that are not primarily devoted to digital photography. Film photography is now basicly obsolite and all photography will soon be digital. Don't waste your time with college courses in photography. The few college educated photographers I have hired have to be totally retrained to be able to cope with customer needs and income producing time schedules. Take any income producing opportunities that come yoiur way. Do weddings for your friends, models composits, portrates, babys, etc. if they are offered to you and do not work for free. Caution though... do not do anything you don't feel you can do well. If you take photos for money and they do not represent your best efforts, your failures will come back to haunt you. If you are not confident in taking the needed picthres, don't take the job. No one will fault you for saying that you can't do this job, but if you try and fail at a job, people will remember. Hope these tips will help you to get started. Good luck to you. If you can become a successful photographer, you cay make a nice living diong it and be happy in a profession you love. d5canon Photography Feedback: I started my commercia photography business over 40 years ago.

Digital zoom is where it takes the picture and zooms in on it electronically, like the zoom when you look at a picture on your computer.
