I am wanting to purchase a high tech digital camera to start a photography business. I know there are many opinions and options about the best digital cameras on the market, but what I need to know is other’s opinion on what camera offers the best bang for my buck? Personal experience with cameras would be wonderful!

hahahahahaha

Oh boy, I love these questions.

You are going to start a photography business but have no idea about which equipment to get.

Boy, you will go far.

Go and buy a Hasselblad kit and associated accessories.
Don’t worry that you know absolutely nothing about photography, you will have a top of the range camera so you are bound to take great pictures and make your fortune.

Alternatively – GROW UP. Take the next few years to learn the business and trade and then IF rpt IF you are good enough you will maybe know a little bit and be able to THINK about starting a business on your own.

I just received a project for my digital photography class which is to create a collage using as many photos as possible. The collage is supposed to be of something which interests me. I am a business student and I am taking this class as an elective. Business/accounting/finance are my most prominent interests? Any ideas on what sort of pictures I should include?

Considering business/accounting/finance are your most prominent interests, I do think that you can choose some pictures linking to those field, like the successful businessman all over the world, some famous accountants you may interest, or people have a great influence worldwide. Of course, you should classify them in different files to make them clearly.
To make the photos more interesting and attractive you can use a collage to customize your photos. You can have a try the Collage Maker, which is free on the app store. You can easy to make beautiful collages within a few seconds. If you are a Mac user, you can go to the App Store to install it for free.

I’m a teenager and I’m very confident in my skills. I don’t need to worry about the quality of my photography. People love it.
Now I just want to make a small business out of it, part-time. I’ve already researched what to do in the business, although, I don’t have a lot of money to spare for it right away.
My main question is: Can I start my business just having my Kodak Easyshare digital camera? It’s brand new, and it takes amazing pictures. I’m just worried about people thinking I’m a huge amateur for not having a big expensive Nikon or Canon camera. I can’t afford one right now, though if my business takes off, I’ll be able to buy it later.
What is your advice for me?
(Help from a real photography would be great!!)

I don’t plan on going pro at all right now, especially since I’m only a teenager. I’d just like to make a few extra bucks taking beautiful pictures xD

Off course you can, I mean you are confident, your "camera" takes amazing pictures and people love your work.

Go for it – you will end up rich and famous.
