I am an amatuer photographer. i have a 9megapixel digital camera, but im wondering if i need a better one. also, any tips or techniques would be greatly appreciated. and is it possible to take an online photography class? thanks in advance ;)
The 'mp' number does not necessarily mean that the camera will be good though. If it is a proffesional camera (usually black and chunky) then it will probably be good.
The cost is important too. If you got it for under $100 then it will be okay for holiday snaps but not ideal for the more scenic/proffesional route.
About $700 will get you a good professional one, although they can be worth 1000's.

myurlisunimportant answered Friday April 10 2009, 3:51 pm: That seems pretty good. But I suppose it really depends on the photos you take or want to take and what you're going to do with them.
I haven't gotten around to printing my pictures on anything bigger than the A4 paper.
So, if you like macro and your camera can't do that very well or if you like to do nature and have limited zoom, then look for something better. Well if you have a dslr, new lenses would be the way to go. :P
