Greetings All: I am looking for recommendation for a good Point-n-Shoot digital camera to give repair engineers so that they can take good close-up photos of defects to include in reports and/or email back to the main office for consultations. How close up? Really small? Like less than the diameter of a dime? Or much larger? Basically, the characteristics I think are important a adjustable flash intensity and adjustable apeture. Maybe also a pre-set macro/ close-up mode......and of course inexpensive (under $120....??). Any other features to suggest? I doubt if you'll find a suitable camera for under $120. Inexpensive cameras these days are all auto with few manual overrides or adjustments other than ISO, white balance, etc. Trips to the local Best Buy and Target have proved fruitless. It seems adjustable apeture and flash intensity are no loner common features on cameras. They carry cameras for the general snapshot oriented consumer. You, however, have special requirements that don't fit that market. Recommendations and/or advice highly appreciated. I suggest you go to http://www.bestinclass.com/digital-cameras set a price of $200 to start with and "overall" for use, and examine the results. If you find nothing suitable, raise the max. price to $250, etc. Once you have a few candidates, check other photo review sites like http://www.dpreview.com http://www.stevesdigicams.com for more detailed reviews and tests. -- Fotoguy BestInClass.com "Personalized digital camera recommendations" http://www.bestinclass.com/digital-cameras |
