    I have a website about digital camera news. I make new pages almost every day. Do I have to update sitemap after making every new pages?

    Yes, unless you have a sitemap generating script that does that task automatically for you.

    Setup the script to do it for you else update it every week if not everyday though setting up the script will be a good thing to do .

    Use xml-sitemaps.com and set up a cron job if your server allows and it will do it automatically for you no problem.

    you must update your sitemap after every rehresh of your site.

    if your sitemap is not up to date, it will hurt your site.

    Daily or weekly is fine, as long as you are adding pages. If you get rid of pages, I'd do the sitemap thing right away. Google doesn't like to not find pages you say are there.

    you can re submit all daily weekly or monthly if you wan to do it. But I prefer weekly because it will not too shot or too long.

    This is exactly what you need to do, don't set your self to weekly or daily updates. It is really best to just make a new one when you have created an update for your site. This includes adding/removing pages of your site so just keep this in mind.

    Yes you do need to update the site map daily. Look into the Python version of the sitemap generator Google talks about. It is an automatic creation and submission version.
