Well then, how do professional photographers get their city aerial pics?
Do
they have to especially hire aircraft for this purpose?

Yep.

If digital cameras really were a threat to an aircraft's navigation systems,
why aren't they especially mentioned in the instructions that are read out
by flight crew? For example, they talk about laptop computers, portable
electronic transmitting devices etc, but they don't seem to specifically
mention digital cameras? Because just about everyone owns a digital camera,
I think these should be specifically mentioned, both verbally and in writing
by airlines if they really don't want people to use these during take-offs
and landings!
