Breed dogs - I wish I would not have seen this. I have a big long speech but it seldom goes anywhere. To keep it simple, and than I will go away; do you have any idea of the number of dogs that are neglected, abused and put down each and every day because of over popualtion, and the very best intentions?

Wow don't reply if your not on topic !!!you have no idea what I do or how I do it . U have no clue how many rescues I find homes for . Get a life

Doubtless you find homes for more dogs then you bring into the world - most breeders do. As to topic matter you are the one that mentioned breeders - you could have asked one of the most asked questions that no one can answer with the little information provided. As to how or what you do - I too rescue them, give medical, food and find homes for and have never try to create more.

I have a Canon and I love it. My best friend has a Nikon and she loves it. You cannot tell our pictures apart if we shoot the same thing. We tried it. Best suggestion I ever got was to go to a store that sells several brands and handle all in your price range. Buy the one that feels right in your hands.

i'm with him,shoot plenty in the store with and without flash.if you can get them transfered to your laptop or flash drive, then check them out at home. my bet is that a good p/s will work out just fine.

I will suggest you buy a good Point & shoot - possibly a bridge camera like the Panasonic Lumix FZ150 - it has a hot shoe for an external flash-second get a good book on flash photography or take as course on it - finally get a good editing program like Photoshop Elements and learn to use it to enhance your photos. There are some simple tricks that will help your photos "Snap"

Welcome to the UHH. Any Canon or Nikon will do a good job for you. My preference is Canon. I suppose it also depends how much you want to spend on a camera and the type you are looking for. I'd suggest the Canon T3i, as it also takes videos. Check out Adorama.com, Canon's website (they also have refurbished cameras that have a 90 day warrenty). Good luck. Cheryl

Shooting animals up close requires no more exotic or expensive camera than a quality point and shoot or Bridge camera, Kodak makes some nifty point and shoots for reasonable money. Best advice I can offer is go to big box store anmd handle a few. Most anythiong pout now has a resolution of 10 Mega Pixels or more and is more than adequate for your needs. With a case couple decent memory cards and spare battery you can spend less than 300.
PS congratulations in your pup breeding.
Some folks think all breeders equate to "Puppy mills" arfe are misguided, simply ignore such folks.
My family has had unending joy as a result of having purebred pooches. From Poodles to St Bernards

Hi Chris!
I would agree with the point-and-shoot idea right up until it comes to indoor pictures. Indoor photos will often require a flash, and most flash pictures of animals turn out awful, because their eyes always seem to reflect the light back into the camera, making them look like the demon from the dark lagoon!
Indoor photos will require a separate flash unit that can be positioned away from the camera, most P&S cameras do not lend themselves to this.
If you're comfortable with the Canon T3i, that's one good choice of many. I would probably be inclined to go for a lens that is in the "telephoto" range: 55-200 (approx.). That will allow you to stand back from the puppies and not always be attracting them to the camera.
Sounds to me like you're going to have a ton of fun! I wish you the best of luck!

The newer bridge cameras will do fine with most available light

nnB, What is your problem? Leave the self-righteous rants for Twitter.
Chris, don't let him bother you. Stick with us and you'll get some good advice from some VERY smart people, even if I don't agree with all of it. Personally, I'd go with a Canon T3i, with the kit lens until you are sure what you want. Whatever you get, plan on keeping the body and upgrading your lens(es). Post some pictures of the pups.
By the way, nnB, I too am an AKC registered breeder!
