Perhaps I am being a bit 'old fashioned' but it seems to me a wee bit strange that some of your professional photographers are not saying, we want to be able to use the controls found in cameras ideally suited to architectural photography. These are of the monorail cameras of course, which feature rising front, falling front, cross front, lens swings, and of course all the foregoing apply to rear movements as well.
Maybe Jackie needs to be more specific about the type of photography and why they want to go digital at all.
As we all know, it's often some bright spark comes up with the idea that because there's no film, it's obviously going to be cheaper, save money, better bottom line etc.
That might well be the case if the fifty photographers are drive-by shooters taking a quick snap for an estate agent's window. There's a lot of five hundred quid cameras that's do that, and having ready digitised images must be of great worth to that kind of business.
However if it's the kind of photography that Richard's outlined you're probably into twenty thousand pounds plus a pop, and you can't rule out including computers because the likelyhood is they have laptop PCs rather than Powerbooks.
In which Jackie's ballpark figure is about a million.
Probably worth keeping the account with SnappySnaps :-)
