C'mon folks! If you have a studio strobe, a softbox, a backdrop, a tripod and a remote, chances are you pretty much know how to take your own photo.

If you get one under a 100 you'll only be able to take granny pictures you can barely see UNLESS your outside in the sunlight...and even then the quality sucks

[MrMk619]

Can you use any type of digital camera. Like me I need a camera affordable like under 100 dollars
