Digital SLR cameras allow much more creative control and flexibility and the resulting photographs will showcase a higher level of professionalism. If you are not familiar with how to use digital SLR cameras, do not be worried. With just a little practice, you can take professional shots. There are many digital SLR cameras to choose from (Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc.), but you won't need the most expensive one on the market. Here is a suggestion for Canon gear:


Canon T3 Camera Body

Bescor LED-70 Light

Bescor LED70If you are photographing cats in a dark room, then consider using an LED light. Whether the cats are out and about in a free-roaming room, or inside of their cages, this LED light will illuminate without scaring them. Flashes are not a good option for cats indoors because it may scare them, and their retinas will likely respond to the flash, resulting in red-eye, green-eye, yellow-eye, purple-eye, etc.
