Desperately seeking great photos ...

I am hunting for photos. So far, the two cameras that I have around here aren't cutting the mustard (why would you ever have to cut mustard anyway?). My dad is giving me a point-and-shoot he doesn't use for my purse. That is wonderful. My old Sony Cybershot has been real good to me, but it is time to move on. A couple weeks after I got it it hit the bottom of a creek on Orcas Island. I thought it was doomed, but we immediately took out the battery and let it dry. It has been fine ever since, but never quite as good as new. I am not sure how the point-and-shoot will do on product photos. I think I need a DSLR with a macro lens for those. Ya know, it just may be time to grow up and get a big girl camera. If you have a DSLR let me know what you are using. And how you like it. I need all the help I can get with this.

  1. hi Kandes!
    I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 with an 18x optical zoom. I can literally catch a dragonfly's grin at 100 paces or macro the tip or a pin. I love this camera! it's a bit more advanced than a point and shoot- and yet.. points and shoots! it comes with a 600 page manual (i got a headache at page 20) and there are super things it can do- but for product photos I caouldn't find better for the price (if you shop around and look at some NYC camera warehouses- you can get a great, wait.. FANTASTIC deal on them.
    good luck!
