Shooting Homes Using Digital Our little photgraphy company, Mc Square, has been retained by a branch of Coldwell Banker Real Estate to take photos of newly listed homes, both interior and exterior, then create a one or two page flyer including photos and write ups, that we also generate. Because of the need for rapid turnaround time for new listings in a very "hot" market, we are thinking that using digital cameras may be the way to go. My question is: What digital cameras should we be evaluating for purchase, considering the need to have some lens flexibility to do wider angle exterior shots, as well as tighter interior shots of individual rooms?

Hello, I have used a number of digital cameras ranging from cheap (below $100 polaroids) to Sony Mavica's and my new one, Olympus C-3000. I would highly recommend the c-3000 for this type of photography. It has a lot of options, has a nice field of vision on the lens, and has a built in zoom. I am not sure what kind of extras, if any, are available for it. I have used it to capture everything from landscapes to hummingbirds and I think it does an excellent job. I have made many 8x10 prints from photos I have taken. With a good printer, I can hardly tell the difference between them and an 8x10 from regular film. The Sony Mavica would be great if you are not planning on printing any pictures over 5x7 size. The convenience of the Mavicas is second to none, but they do not take high enough resolution photos for large prints. Hope this helps some. Brad

Last September I purchased a Kodak Dc4800 camera, which is not only an automatic point and shoot, but is adjustable as well. I think the latitude you get with this camera and the additional telephoto, wide angle and close up lenses that are available, could really make your picture possibilities multiply. You can put it on manual and use a light meter if you wish. Now's a good time to get one too.They are marked down from $800 to $600 with a $100 rebate. I made the mistake of buying mine when it first came out and paid full price.(next time I'll wait a while)
