Starting a (Portable) Digital Business I am interested in starting a digital photo business. Shooting and printing on location for school events, products for people's web sites, etc. What camera would you suggest starting with? Have you used digital backdrops? Are they easy to work with? Any other things I need to know to get started would be appreciated. I am far from pro but love photography and people. I do have a creative side but need to learn hands on.

Again I would like to recommend the Nikon D100, because I love mine. Also and Epson Photo Printer. I have a 1280 - I think they are going for less then $400 now. Camera and Printer are going to run you around $2500. You can go with a cheaper Epson printer, but stay with Epson for the instant dry quality, and the true colors. As far as the camera, you could go cheaper, but if you've shot 35mm I think its the easier transition, and at 6mp makes beautiful 8x10 and 11x14 enlargements. I've never done the digital background thing, but if you do let me know how it goes. I think its a great tool, I'm just not crazy about spending time on the computer, I'd rather shoot pictures. I'm not sure I could ever get fast enough to edit and print on location, unless they want to put me up for a few days. You also need to consider lighting. A starter light set at about $1000 or a really good flash with enough power to use in any location.
