suitable camera for auto's
I want to take pictures of automobiles with their new owners on dealers
lots. I know I will need a tripod but what type of digital camera would give good images because I need to make a print of it on a photo printer. Thanks |

In low light, if you need to use flash and you want to show the number
plates, you might have problems with reflective plates using a small P&S. -- Joan "Bill" wrote in message ...

Something with 3 megapixels is more than enough, unless you intend to blow up the image for putting on a wall. I know I will need a tripod You don't need a tripod if you're taking shots outdoors, unless it's at night time. Available light should be more than adequate with any camera. but what type of digital camera would give good images because I need to make a print of it on a photo printer. This is the only key factor...you need to be able to print quickly, so the camera should have a removable memory card to use on a computer, or be able to print directly to a printer. Do you have a budget or any other needs? |

Think about a cheap Polaroid. Nearly foolproof and probably not any more expensive in the long run, considering printer supplies. We used to shoot the crooks with Polaroid and almost never had a re-do. Otherwise, any 3.2 MP P&S should do the job. Although I think the whole digital-to-paper process would be more trouble than it's worth in (what I imagine) is your situation. Say, are you a car salesman? Do I really want to help you? -- Frank ess |

I don't have a budget but I was thinking less than $500.
I think I will get a point and shoot camera which can take the best pictures with the MINIMUM user ability. Which of these cameras are the best? Nikon Coolpix 7900 Sony Cybershot P200 Casio Exilim EX-Z750 Canon Powershot SD500 Fuji FinePix E550 HP Photosmart R717 Sony Cybershot W7 Casio QV-R62 I need a tripod because of blurring and I think It wll be easier. Also this is very important and there is NO chance for a retake. Thanks. |

I should also say that I would like to crop the owners head and use
that to digitally print a hardcopy so I think the resolution should be fairly high? |
