What kind of camera should I purchase to use for greeting card photographs?

Posted by admin on March 4th, 2010 and filed under photographs | 3 Comments »

I am planning on starting a greeting card business, and would like to know the most practical camera for this, and also how to transfer the photographs to a greeting card.

I agree with Ken about the camera. Personally I LOVE my Nikon Coolpix. Get a good tripod, too, because night pictures can be fantastic!

I disagree about buying a good printer. I think you could arrange, at least at first, for a professional printer to make your cards more cheaply than you can buy a printer and supplies.

    well a digital camara with at least 5mp (mega pixels) or better should be good. digital photos are much easier to edit and there r so many programs that can be bought from stores like CompUSA, Staples, or any office supply store that allow u to setup and design ur own greetin cards. u will also want to look into a good printer desinged for printing cards and on heavy paper

    Pentax 6×7 or a Mamiya RZ67.

    If you are interested in digital, go with the most MPs you can afford. A DX2s or a D200.
