I switched to a digital camera because I had an expereince where I shot three rolls of film, and the client was not happy with any of them. I use a sony DSC-s70 cyber-shot.

It has a resolution of 3.3megapixels. Along with some fantastic inbuilt editing and manipulation devises such as rotating, zoom and edit, shooting in black and white, it also gives you amazing control over things like depth of field and aperture enabling you to take the right shots you want.

The major benefit for me is that you can view what you have shot then and there and if the client isn't happy you can delete the lot and start again.

This camera can also be hooked up to the television which enables you to see the images on a bigger screen and both you and the client can view and decide on a photo reference on the spot.
Once I have selected an appropriate reference I burn the image onto a CD and take it to my local photo lab and have it printed to 18x12.5 inches.
At this sixe I lose no photo quality.

I specialise in childrens portraiture, so I find my digital camera an invaluable resource - I love it!!!!!!!!!
