I got my first DSLR Camera a few years back after playing around with a film camera for the longest time, and recently I've been doing a lot more photoshoots for a company in my local area for special events, I've got a fantastic desktop at home I can edit all my photos on but many times I find myself in a rush trying to get the pictures to my customers within minutes of taking them, which if I had the hardware I could put together fairly quickly, (its not super model type pictures, just family photos people like to send as gifts and most of the proceeds usually go towards charities, but with the way I have to ghetto rig everything together to try and get a good look right off the camera is ridiculous, with absolutely no use of software except cropping pictures to get the sizes they want, in any case, I need a good laptop thats well priced, but can easily run photoshop (or more than likely Gimp) and other programs for on the go photo editing, Ive been doing a bit of research on my own but I was just wondering if there was anything you guys had that you would recommend over anything else and if so why? thanks for all the help in advance. P.S. My camera is a Rebel T3, I know its not the best, but it does the job well with the lenses I have for it, and I do plan on upgrading if business continues to go well. I would really prefer not to spend more than $500 on this, but if it takes a little more for much better performance I can.
