Hello - Searching for a good camera

[ZPics]

Greetings everyone,

I'm in search of a good quality camera for my place of employment. We are needing to take pictures of product shipping on flat beds. We need to be able to zoom into pictures to see the product number clearly without it getting fuzzy.
Would like to have it dust proof, anti-shake, option with a flash, also have a hard exterior to keep from being damaged. Would like to have picture quality like a newer cell phone without employees using their own cell phone.
The ability to upload pictures through cord or even wireless.

Currently searching through Amazon and not finding the right one or not knowing how to search for the right one using their categories.

Any help is much appreciated. If needing more information, let me know and I'll do my best to relay what we need.

I found this forum searching Google and looks like I found a good one to start. Who knows, perhaps I may pick one up for myself and do my own photography someday.

Hello and welcome, there are lots of cameras to choose from, but a lot depends on how much you want to spend.

If this camera is to be used by multiple people that may or may not be familiar with modern complex cameras, you may wish to get a simple point and shoot camera that has a fixed lens and minimal user adjustments.

Some of those take very good pictures and are capable of what you are asking.

For the general description you've given, you can use just about any digital camera or better mobile phone these days.
Check the international websites of well-known brands Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, and Lumix to get an idea of the current range of models. The biggest question you should ask yourself is how much you want to spend on a camera, and then start by researching the various camera models from the aforementioned brands within that price range. This will leave you with a handful of cameras and will likely make it much easier to decide which models will meet your requirements and appeal to the people who will actually use the camera.

Buy an iPhone and a tough case. Done.

G'day Zp

I use the Lumix FZ-300 for all sorts of stuff and I would reckon your people could also use one to great advantage. A good system, magic zoom lens, auto + other adjustments and if needed, can easily be but into video mode. It's about $us600 ~ us$650 (depending on Tariff movements)
Hope this helps

Thank you for some helpful information. I should have mentioned the camera we have been using is Kodak PIXPRO FZ152 from Amazon.
I feel it does work well, but I'm being told we need better quality so they can see product numbers when zooming in to the picture when looking at it on the computer.
Needs to be dust proof, durable, better than 16MP, no need for video/audio - not a requirement and have a good flash capability.
Some of our loads goes into shipping containers. The cameras would be handled by several people throughout the day, so it doesn't need be too complicated to learn how to use.
Can connect it to a computer through USB to upload the pictures but would like the ability to upload via Bluetooth or over Wi-Fi.
