Sorry but Fuji F601 puts Sony P9/P7 to shame.:D

The indoor quality for P9 is extremely poor compared to Fuji/Canon. Two of my friends has P9 and they were shocked when they saw how good my Fuji's image quality is.

My p9 takes fantastic indoor shots, although im sure the Fuji takes good ones as well...

I doubt you need to get a really really expensive one, if you're going to print it, make sure they have a good printer, a 3 megapixel one should suffice.

you barely need anything to get good shots for a product catalog.

i talk to some other people, and they told me that i need a phase one digital camera
and that #mp digital cam is for kids in the eyes of professional
is that for real
the printing will be done by printing manufactory (use large and expensive machine, but lower per page cost)
it best to keep the price under $500US.
Cannon G2 is out of my budget

S40 if you can find a good price, if not s30. I bought my s30 for 380$. You can
probably get some good deal's with dell and their 15% off coupons. I have sample pictures if you wish
to see them.

why not get a fujifilm finepix 2800 since you are doing catalog pics

You won't need anything over 2 mp for 3 inch pics

Canon S30

HIGHLY recommended. I've had the cam for a few months now and I'm impressed with the pictures everytime I use it.

If you need some samples feel free to PM me.
