Shooting for billboards

[txshutterbug]

I've been asked to do a shoot for a billboard - does anyone have experience with that - what type of camera should I be using? Currently, I have only 20D's in my arsenal ... is this my excuse to move up to a better camera? :grin:

And at what resolution are billboard images? Thanks!

I am an Account Executive for a billboard company. PM your e-mail address and I will e-mail you a production spec sheet that will tell you how to set up your files.

I currently have images up on 5 billboards in the market....all shot with my Rebel XT.......I dont think you need to get a new camera just yet.
