Indoor Digital Camera

axer

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good digital camera for taking indoor pics. It is for taking pictures of interior design work.

Am thinking of getting a Cannon Powershot A95 here. What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Noel.

make sure to get one with a good wide lens, as you will need it for the rooms, as most of the time u may not fit the whole room in, in one pic.

is it for commercial use? will people buying things make decisions based on the quality of the photos? whats your budget? do you have any experience using lighting or flashes? can you use photoshop or similar editing software? do you plan on buying a tripod? will they be static shots or are you photographing people indoors too?

Hi,
Shrimp - thanks for the advice.
DotOrg - To answer your questions:
1. It will be to keep a portfolio of interior design work done, so the better looking in the photo the better
2. Want it to look as good as possible
3. €300-€500
4. No real experience in lighting or flashes
5. No photoshop or anything - just straight snapping and saving
6. Never tought of a tripod but it sounds like a good idea so yes i will be.
7. Will be static shots only.

Thanks.

Shrimp - thanks for the advice.
-- You're Welcome

4. No real experience in lighting or flashes.
-- Not a good sign, still though u'll learn. I'd recommend books or magazines.

5. No photoshop or anything - just straight snapping and saving
-- Em.. WTF? you cant just snap and save? I mean like photoshop is like the holy grail of all photographers (if not ps then like some otehr photo editing suite)

6. Never tought of a tripod but it sounds like a good idea so yes i will be.
-- Now I'm gettin worried...
