People will pay to have quality event photos taken, so it's important for you, as an event photographer, to have quality equipment. This means making a bit of an investment. You'll need to spend money to get money you need to purchase some of the best photography equipment available, which includes the camera and event photography software.
Let's start with the obvious, the camera. You'll want to get a digital camera, but stay away from the very small cameras, those are for amateurs. There are some great digital cameras on the market which have the traditional camera look, but are digital. These have the big lens, great zoom features and excellent megapixel quality. Go for a digital that has at least 8 megapixels. This may cost you from $400 on up. Next, you'll want to invest in a big memory card. Think at least 2GB, because the photographs with the highest quality tend to take up the most space.
Good batteries are also required. Make sure they are long lasting and hold a good charge (if they're rechargeable). Get an extra set of batteries, too.
Finally, you'll want to invest in a good stand and case. The stand will allow you to take great still shots, while the case will protect your investments.
