Buying a camera is a great idea for small business owners.nnIf you're a business owner and you use a camera as part of your work, you can expense the cost of photography equipment. However, keep in mind that the tax breaks you get vary from location to location and even industry to industry.nnIf you happen to work for a larger company, you still might be able to pick up a camera through your employer. You could need a camera while working in a marketing department or to document certain aspects of your work. I'd say your best bet is to reach out to your marketing department or talk with your finance department about expensing the purchase of a camera.
