	Equipment Canon 20D I've been using Canon cameras for years and find them reliable and well-built. The 20D is an 8.2 megapixel D-SLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) which means that the image is seen through a small viewfinder at the back of the camera which displays exactly what the lens is looking at. When the shutter release is pressed an internal mirror flips up and the picture is taken. Up to 3 frames a second can be shot at highest quality, for that true celebrity feel. More frames a second can be shot with lowel quality shots. Normally we shot at the highest quality. 8.2 megapixels may not sound a lot these days in comparison to some small modern cameras, however they have much smaller CCD processors compared to that in the 20D and their photo sites are tightly compact as well which reduces the overall image size and quality. Portable Studio Kit Two flash units with stands and associated hoods, reflectors and umbrellas in a compact carrying case mean we are highly mobile and can set-up in around 30 minutes from arrival at client locations.
