I wanted to get into digital photography as a hobby, so I decided to buy a cheap basic digital camera to start. However, I’m worried that the camera I got won’t do very well. It has 3x optical zoom, 10.1 megapixels, I’m not sure how to tell how big the sensory is, and it has 4.5x digital zoom, but the digital zoom sort of sucks.

It concerns me as a photographer when I see the numerous articles and ebooks about making cash from your camera. 8 Easy steps or 10 ways to turn those snapshots into cash. And, “Hi shutterbug here’s a foolproof way to turn those photos into dollars”. Or, earn $200-$400 per day from your camera. With all the resource boxes pointing to, you guessed it, books and cds that will help you make money from your camera or rather the authors make money from your purchase.

All of us who are photographers would love to make a regular income from the hobby or profession we love. None of us want to be told that it is difficult, it takes time and not many people make it. These dubious dealers give the impression that anyone can make money from their photos. Rubbish! If you take a look at the stock sites and see the quality of images for sale, you’ll realise that unless you are really talented you will never produce the quality that the buyers are looking for. Do yourself a favour. Do a search on the name of the ebook author who makes all of these claims using Google and then go to the major stock sites and do the same. Where are these authors making their money? From you! If it was so easy why don’t they have thousands of images on the stock sites? I rest my case.

Take a look at the guidelines for submission on the stock sites. Every last one of them requires a camera that takes a high resolution image. Some even state that they’ll only accept images taken on certain mid-range to high-end digital SLRs. Don’t even think that you will be able to compete with your compact camera. You stand no chance. Your images are just not big enough.

I’m planning on staying my summer (between 6 and 8 weeks) in Poland with some of my family. Usually, I bring a normal camera with film and what not but it’s always a hassle getting the pictures developed. I want to bring my digital camera with me so I can take pictures. The camera is battery powered and I will have limited access to my uncle’s computer, but I won’t be able to upload the pictures I don’t think. Any tips or ideas for bringing the digital camera or is just a bad idea?

I am looking for something that has at least 2 megapixels, has a lcd viewer, and is kid-tough. Most of the kids cameras I’ve seen have very low megapixels; more like a web cam than a digital camera. Anything out there anyone has had experience with that works? Thank you.
