I've been into Canon DSLRS for several years. I just purchased a 70D. It has an articulating LCD screen so you and take pictures from any angle. Above all I'm highly impressed with the vividness of the colors. 'Taint cheap, to say the least, but it should really do the job for a long time.

In your case, because you have shot with Canon, it might be easiest to select another Canon, as the layout of dials, owner's manual style, etc., will be similar across Canon cameras.

Not really enough to go on but the Canon SL1 is quite small for a DSLR, if hand size is a concern, T5i is relatively easy to carry and use, both use lenses you may have and system you are at least somewhat familiar with, so as as starting point they should be good.

Many of us here have stuck, brand wise, what we started with. Both Canon and Nikon manufacture great cameras and those who own them will speak highly of their particular brand and try to convince you theirs is best. If you plan to use your camera for more than just shooting quilts for your business, set a budget and think about how you will use it outside of your business. Then settle on the brand, type (DSLR, point and shoot, advanced point and shoot, etc) and make your purchase. Buy according to your needs, not because someone says more professionals shoot brand "x" or "y" so you should buy that brand.

You don't sound as if you are as knowledgeable about photography as you are quilt making.
If these images are going to be used for internet display, any entry level camera will work out for you...
no need to get all fancy here as there isn't a dimes worth of difference for what you have in mind.

What is your budget? What light will you be taking the quilts in? will yoube using the camera for anything else?

Just about any current DSLR and most compact all-in-one (point-n-shoot) cameras will do that fine.

Since you have a Canon EOS film camera, you probably have one or more lenses for it and may be more familiar with the way Canon controls are laid out... so might want to look at a Canon SL1 or T5 (smallest and cheapest entry level models) or T3i, T5i (somewhat of an upgrade), or the latest and greatest 70D if you have $1000 to spend.

All these have significantly more resolution than your 8MP SX100 IS. All the above have 18MP sensors except the 70D, which is 20MP.

In fact, from practically any current camera you'll be downsizing the images and reducing their dynamic range to make them usable online.

If you have a film lens such as a 28-105 or 28-135, it will work fine, but won't be very wide angle on the sensor with the small sensor. So you might look at the above cameras with kit lenses, which are typically 18-55mm. Both the current 18-55mm models are lightly built and inexpensive, but are capable of making nice images.

If you wanted to change camera brands, now would be the time to do it... before you get a lot invested in newer gear. Frankly, any camera brand on the market can meet your quite needs well. I am only suggesting Canon models because that's what I'm most familiar with and you might already have some lenses/accessories to use with a Canon, and may feel most comfortable to you.

Canon or Nikon? Ford or Chevy? Republican or Democrat? I believe it's personal taste, as you can't go wrong with either one. Both are excellent quality cameras. Personally, I have owned Canon cameras since I purchased my AE-1 back in 1979 and own both a 40D and Rebel XSi today. I love my Canon equipment and won't change, but Nikon lovers feel the same way about their rigs as well. Good luck with your decision!

I make art quilts and have photographed them with a Canon Rebel T3i. You can look at them if you like at www.debannfibreart.com Note the spelling of "fibre" in the web address.

Being a Canon user and loyalist I always recommend the Rebel line of cameras. I shoot a t3i and the colors are excellent. But it's also important to choose a good lens for sharpness and detail. I'm shooting the Canon 28-200 which is now no longer made but I've heard good things about the 18-200.

I'm recommending these even though you didn't mention a budget. However having had my own business budget was always important. There are higher quality Canon cameras out there but the higher you go, the higher the cost.

So I'd recommend exploring the Canon line.

Good luck

Refurb Canon SX50 HS now selling for $250 at Canon website.

Since you have an older EOS Canon I'd suggest a new Canon - your lens(es) would still work and you'd be somewhat familiar with the menu.

This Is A Shot That We Did For A Quilting Magazine. It Was Shot With A Wide Angle 20 MM Lens. Any Camera Will Work You Should Have A Variety Of Lenses To Show The Detail As Well As The Application Of The Product. The Canon Line We Like The Best Is The L Series Lenses. The 24 To 105 With Close Up Capabilities Would Work Fine. This Can Be Used On Many Cannon Cameras 7D 5D Etc.
