Are you shopping for a camera today? How may I help?
I am planning on opening a business. The business is centered around children. The facility will allow them to celebrate their birthdays there. I will have a section in the building that will allow the party attenders to take photos behind a backdrop. I need to know what type of camera I need that will be best for good quality cameras and enough mermory storage. I don't need the camera for anything other than taking fun pics behind a backdrop

I would think a simple point and shoot will do the job fine with a remote
This is a first time business so I'm trynna to purchase used and affordable BUT at the same time nothing too cheap where the quality isn't good or the equipment isn't solid and I have to end up buying something else later....

ok
So if I could stay under 500 that would be awesome.
Jackie L.
the Canon SX60 is a good camera
you would need a tripod and a remote
but the camera has other need accessories included
is there a particular remote or tripod that I need?
Jackie L.
any tripod will do
here is the remote
and any of these tripods will work fine
Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for this quick help.
