Hey all,
I'm going to be getting a digital camera (my first :Q I know!) to mainly take pics of products for the site I'm doing work for (See sig). It will be used to take product pics 99% of the time with a plain white background, with some shots focusing closely on different aspects of the product. I don't care about the camera's performance outside of that use as the camera won't really be mine, but I will still occasinoally use it out and about.
I am a complete photography novice, so advanced settings and doodas don't do much for me NOW, but might be valuable in the future. So for now, let's not rule out advanced cameras. Something in a smaller form factor would be nice to take with me, but again that's not a priority. I would prefer something that uses the more modern memory cards, like xD or SD. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what type of memory card & why?
Zoom isn't a big issue, the standard 3-4x optical & 4x+ digital is fine. If there's a camera with good IQ and higher zoom on it for a decent price, I'm interested!
Price-wise, we're looking at sub-$400 cameras. Probly won't buy a $400 one, but I want to know the full range to keep in mind esp when looking @ used cameras.
Let me know if I forgot any of the specs you might need to know. Thanks in advance!!
I forgot to mention, we're looking to get something recent. A model preferrably released within the past few months, but if there's a slightly older one you love pass it on!
