I will be taking pictures of jewelry for my wifes E bay site. I presently have a Finpix s7000. It is OK but I have to get much too close to the jewelry and the shadows from my camera ruin the picture. That also means I cant use a tripod in most cases which I consider vital for this sort of picture taking
I am looking for a used good single purpose camera with about a 100mml lens to take pictures of jewelry. I don't need many of the newer camera features; just a good camera that gives fine detail.
I think I could get away with a camera that took 20 pictures in the 3 to 4 mega pixel range since they will be shown on the internet. Probably don't need auto focus since I believe manual focus works better. Your thoughts on both these comments would be appreciated.
Price is important since I don't think I will be taking that many pictures. By that I mean I could live with an older generation used camera with excellent resolution rather new a new one with features I probably wouldn't use.
1. Could you guys give me some recommendations?
2. Where is the better places to buy? I am not adverse to purchasing from a someone on this forum.
3. Would I be able to get a "Try before you buy" option.
My knowledge of cameras is limited so some of the items I mentioned may not be correct and would like your thoughts on the subject.
In advance, thank you for your help.
