Good INDOOR digital camera?

[Yzzim]

Looking for a good indoor camera for my boss. We refinish cement floors, clean houses after smoke damage, clean carpets, etc and would like to show off our work. Nearly every single picture we take would be indoors.

Resolution is a bit of concern too. We'd like to blow the pictures up and put them up at trade shows....nothing too big though, maybe 8 by 10? MAYBE 12x16, but that would be doubtful.

Thanks 🙂

if you have a tripod any camera is a good indoor camera

assuming it has a shutter priority mode

Get one with an auto-focus illuminator, get a low aperture rating and use a tripod.

For 8x10, you'll want at least a 3MP. And automatic white balance should help keep the color right. I"ve been happy with my Sony F707.

cheap as possible, of course 🙂

Gotta be great indoors and have enough MP to pump out an 8x10 picture at least.....and it has to be very clear...no pixelization (sp?)

I heard some cameras have a weak flash and don't look _that_ good indoors. Maybe I'm wrong? 😕

You need at least 4 MP for a good 8x10

flash will probably wash out whatever you're trying to capture in the image

I would say a Canon G3 on a tripod with a canon 420EX flash. just don't point the flash at the object you are shoot, bounce it off the ceiling that way you don't wash the object out.
