I have always been an avid photographer. It's my life time hobby and I enjoy taking photos, looking at it and find ways to take even better photographs. I know you can make money with your photos but I don't know how, not until now. There are thousands of photos and it can be quite costly too. Developing and printing the photos cost me a bomb. Now enters the digital age, and it has cost me next to nothing besides the initial cost of the camera.
Digital Cameras.
Which digital camera to buy? How much and what image resolutions I needed? Its rather daunting. Most cameras nowadays have very good image quality even at 3M (mega pixels). Compact cameras even boasts up to 12 mega pixels or more at a fraction of the cost 5 year's ago.
Recently I bought one superzoom compact for around $410.00. Its a Canon SX20 IS Superzoom compact. Its big, more like a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera but it serves my purpose. Oh yes, I have a small Sony compact as well and most of my snapshots that made money for me are from this particular compact camera.
