Avoid Casio cameras! I would get something reliable like theOlympus EVolt E-510Great camera, 10 megapixels, and a relatively good price for the quality.

I only know some about cameras and in my opinion the canon rebel is a very good camera. its digital and it is very clear and can take pictures of things moving clearly too such as a car.

Digital SLR are the "best" because you can adjust the focal point. You have more control over exposures, apatures. etc.Since you want to go in to photography, professionally photographers use those umbrellas to reflect light on to their subjects. You see light directly on to a person's face is very harsh, that's why the light is face the opposite way towards an umbrella that bounces the light back creating a smoother appearance.You need a digital SLR camera, with high mega pixels for great quality. Digital SLR with high mega pixels are very expensive, which is why some people prefer film cameras still.

I've worked in this industry for 10 years and without a doubt say NIKON!! DSLR of course! D80,D200, or if you got a great tax refund this year get a D300. Without getting too technical... the sensor in the the Nikon is a CCD (charged coupled device)and Canon manufactured a CMOS sensor which in my eyes just isn't sharp enough. But if you're lookin to do this as a hobby the D40x would be a good choice also. Any photographers I know from work including myslef all have Nikons. And yes what the other person was saying about the umbrellas is also a good idea for studio lighting and softer, less shadows. Go to your local photography shop and ask them for pricing and their input on this.

First I mean no offense but if you don't even know what cameras to use you should not be doing someones wedding. This is a once in a lifetime event and you can't get it wrong.That said you should look at at least a very good DSLR.Canon 40D or Nikon D200 about $1,600.You also should consider using a medium format camera. You should be able to get a good used Hasselblad or Mamiya for $1,000-$1,500

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.

Wedding Food Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. Wedding Cake Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
