I need to procure a digital camera to use for our work, the main
subjects will be white boards photographed after technical meetings and
a suite of electronics that we are developing. We essentially want to
keep a photo journal (web-based). The downside of our attempts with
low-end digital cameras has been the reflection from the flash; I need
to use the flash to keep the shutterspeed minimal for a steady image and
my only solution thus far has been to angle the camera shots.

Have you ever heard of a 'tripod'? They do wonderful things for stability.


It seems like this issue is solved in some high end (Leica) cameras
which have a "bounce flash", it's also solved by unweildy external flash
units, neither seems to me the right purchase. Can you recommend a
better solution, in a price range that will not aggravate company
financial folks?
