Hello!! I am looking for a new camera to use on my clients after I do there makeup. I haven't been putting pics in my portfolio because the pics are not good since I use y camera phone. Any suggestions on what camera to get? Any suggestions on camera's that have the editing tool right on the camera?! I don't want to spend any more then $400. Let me know! Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend just taking snapshots, even on an expensive camera, for portfolio. Portfolio pics should be set up and posed etc.

For Facebook pages and things like that snapshots of your work are great- also camera phones are getting pretty fancy cameras that take good pictures. Super clear for social media and stuff.

But I suggest setting up some shoots, or if they're going to an event with a photographer maybe asking him to give you the pictures for your port.

Just my opinion.

Try a Canon XTi, it's an older model, you may have to buy used, but the quality will be perfect. I haven't updated my camera since getting this camera, and it should be all you need.

Oh also, even cheaper is the Canon XT which will also be great.
