Howdy all- I'm sure I've missed the bus on this subject here on arfcom before, so I ask you gracious folks-- What is THE finest digital camera in all the land (for around $200 bucks). Also the easier to use the better, I'm no tech wiz  . The cameras primary use will be photographing food and people, and then the photos will be used to advertize on a web site.Thanks --VT |

You are right. This subject comes up about 3 times per week. However, because we love our brother arfcomers, we will tell you just one more time. Canon A-series or Nikon Coolpix series will fit your price range and give you outstanding results. I own both and tend to lean toward the Coolpix 3100 or 3200 for around $200. |

On a related note, (or maybe fodder for another topic), how should one take pictures of guns? I have a Sony-somethinerother, and I my pics come out strictly OK. Should I be using flash, or some lighting? Some people post pics of their guns that look professional; What's the trick(s)? |
its all about the lighting. i have an external flash that I can aim at the roof and reflect/diffuse it. which is 10000x better than a direct flash. unfortunatly, you can not do it with most point and shoot digi's this is where either natural light and reflectors come in, or a slave flash that fires off your main flash. you can also attain the same results using a table lamp and a tripod and no flash. It will be to dark to hold the camera, but if it is on a tripod it will stay still and you can use less light. |
