Digital camera to photograph documents

jank

OK well i need a digital camera to photograph historical documents.
Quality then is paramount as then these photos will be printed out again, so it has to be clear

The price isnt really an issue so long its sub 1000 euro.

Im thinking along the lines of the nikon D70 which looks to be a monster of a camera but am I buying too much and i think its only a 6 mega pixel camera while there are cheaper 8 mega pixel camera out there!

Also looked at the sony p150, the cannon g6 and the fuji s7000

Well the D 70 is the most expensive but i can get a widescreen lens for that which would be perfect for what i want to do. The fuji s7000 also looked good while the sony p150 had 7.2 mega pixels and was cheaper of the net then any of the rest.

So what do ye think?? as im no expert


By the way is there anybody out there thats sells digital camera besides amazon.co.uk and deliever to ireland

if it's just for one project, you should simply ask somebody to photograph them for you.

or you could buy a film SLR camera and superb lens for €200

eg: any old canon eos body and the 50mm prime f1.8 lens would give you stunning shots. also, buy a tripod from about €60 upwards

the D70 is complete overkill to shoot documents with

It will be used a few times

Sorry but thinking on the D70. It looks a good camera

the D70 is a brilliant camera but complete overkill unless you have money to burn
