<p>I need to take good digital pictures of my original artwork -- so I can have good gallery-quality paper print reproductions to sell. I also post photos online at my Etsy Shop (http://lighthouseartdesign.etsy.com) -- and social media sites (http://instagram.com/lighthouseartdesign)<br>
From reading about some best practices on how to Photograph Artwork (http://finerworks.com/theo/blog/an-artists-guide-to-digital-printing/photographing-your-artwork/), it looks like I need a decent DSLR camera with the ability to zoom 50-55 (or 200-300 is even better). The recommended number of mega pixels should be at least 8 (10-14 is even better). That's all information that I can digest for now :)<br>
I'm a non-photo professional and feel overwhelmed with the technical details about choosing a digital SLR camera. <br />I currently take photos with my IPhone.<br>
I need your recommendations on which (not too expensive) decent DSLR camera to buy for my intended purposes. Please kindly suggest specific brand and model -- if it can be a user-friendly camera for a beginner like me-- the better!<br>
Many thanks!<br>
