nikon camera lens mug image
doremif
I'm trying to put together a professional art portfolio but I don't know what cameras are the best for it.
I have a 5.1 mega pixel Sony CyberShot digital camera, but it's old and falling apart.
I was looking at some thanksgiving sale cameras: Cannon and Nikon cameras...
Does anyone know good 10 mega pixel cameras that have a price range of $300~400??... used for professional documentation. :)
Thanks!

Hi,
Some things have to be considered here.
Firstly, what are you photographing, and where is it?
If it is very small, will you require macro capabilities, or do you need to capture something large (like a building or contextual scene like a room) that requires a wide angle lens? If it is bigger than a coffee mug and smaller than a car, that can fall under a normal focal length lens.
Can it be moved or lit? Is it something big and indoors under low-light? When you take a picture of it with the Sony, what don't you like about that photo? A new compact digital camera is not going to be that much better than your Sony without a change in lighting.
How professional do you want the photographs to appear? Are you willing to spend money on a backdrop or light table for pro-looking product shots? Would you perhaps consider using fabric as a backdrop and lighting your shot with a lamp? If you wish to go with natural or dim lighting for mood, you will need a tripod.
How large will the images be printed? A 10-megapixel camera can produce enough detail to print a 4-page spread at near photo-quality from a single image. A 6-megapixel camera can print 11x17" (two-page spread) at near photo-quality. Is 10-megapixel an important part of your criteria?
Is this going to be an on-going process or a one-time deal? Would you consider hiring a photographer instead of buying a camera, if this were a one-shot deal?
Hope these questions and ideas help you make a decision. Good luck!

If he doesn't already have one, get him a Gorilla Pod. The cheapest ones are about $10.00 and most photographers LOVE them:

Or, if you want to spend a little more money, you can get bigger/sturdier/more sophisticated models:

Or, for around $30, you can get him a lens mug. They're super cool:

And, for around $25.00 you could get him a bokeh kit. They're really fun to play around and experiment with: (If you go with this, make sure it'll be compatible with a lens he owns, though)

Spare memory cards for his camera are also something photographers are almost always in need of. You can never really have enough of them. You'll need to know what kind of cards his camera accepts though.
Personally, not to burst your bubble, but if I got lens tissue as a gift, I'd be kind of bummed. It would be like receiving a tube of toothpaste as a gift, or a bar of soap. Cleaning your equipment is something photographers HAVE to do. We don't really like doing it.
