canon digital camera 350d image
TrishyC
I am looking to build up a portfolio of images that I can submit to magazines along with a written article. Can someone advise me as to what high end magazines prefer for quality reproduction? I have a Canon 350D digital camera and a Mamiya 645 film camera... which is the better choice so that I am not wasting my time shooting stuff that is unusable? Only those with industry experience need reply please!! Thanks for any help!

It's been a long while since I submitted film negatives or slides, they would probably accept them, but it's a lot of extra work for them and they much prefer digital files. Your Canon 350D is not really up to the job, most magazines need the images from at least a 10Mp camera it depends on how big the images will be in the article. To give you an idea a double page image needs to be from a 14Mb camera, they don't like 'interpolated' images, images that the data has been expanded to make a larger file.
Don't be surprised if they ask you to organise and pay for the film scanning, their guy that manned their drum scanner has probably retired and nobody there knows how to use it any more, I've come across this once this year!
It does depend on the magazine, Art magazines want only high quality images, some photo magazines will accept less than perfection.

What is the best digital camera for a photography amateur?
Q. I am looking for a digital camera to use as a photography beginner. I'm looking for something just above your regular run-of-the-mill snapshot-type camera, but nothing in the thousands of dollars.
Any advice you can give to this photography newbie is appreciated.

Well, I'm assuming you would buy a camera under $1000. If so, I would recommend a digital SLR. If you're taking up photography as a serious hobby, you will eventually buy a DSLR later on. The digital point & shoot (P&S) cameras are good for casual photo taking (parties, occasions, etc.) and known for their simplicity and small size. But once you learn more about basic photography and the features on a DSLR, you'll be able to take far better photos that are not obtainable on a P&S camera.
With that said, if you want an affordable DSLR, there's 2 to choose from that I recommend:
Nikon D50 and Canon EOS 350D
The Nikon is more affordable at under $700, and the Canon is under $800. All depending on what you want. Just get the basic lens and a high capacity memory card, I suggest 1GB. You can still take really good pictures even if you're a beginner and don't utilize the camera to it's full capacity, because there are a few auto options. But when you're ready, you'll have the right camera to take awesome photos.
