Photography Digital Software
What are some good digital cameras to buy for….?
I want to start a small digital photography business. What is a good camera to purchase and a good software program fro editing digital pictures.
I’m a Nikon fan, so I would favor the Nikon D200. But that is an easy decision. The tough decisions will be about which lenses to buy. A fast lens can be seriously expensive (one that sees well in low light). A fast Nikon lens can cost far more than the camera. You also have to decide if you need to spend the money for a stabilized lens that has has the ability to compensate for small camera wiggles including low light situations.
The camera you buy might not be able to “drive” the less expensive lenses like the Tamron or Sigma lenses, so be careful to get lenses that the camera can drive. For instance my Nikon D75 will drive my Tamron 28-300 lens in the Auto position but not in the P (program) position which is where I usually operate it. But my Nikon D100 will drive the lens in all the positions.
My daughter, who is a pretty good amateur photographer too, prefers Canon products.
As for the software, my daughter. a mathematician, likes Adobe Photoshop. I am an engineer, but I cannot get my mind around Adobe Photoshop. It is not very intuitive in my opinion and it is like trying use a calculator that operates in reverse Polish logic. I spent big bucks for the latest Adobe Photoshop suite, but I disliked it so much that I dismounted it from my computer and gave it to my daughter. I prefer the Corel photo editing products. To me the Corel photo editing software seems far simpler and more intuitive and you have an array of editing tools from quick and simple photo repair tools to complex, detailed editing tools. I like the Corel and I think it is even a bit cheaper than the Adobe software.
Good luck and 73 from the Fisherman
