TPF Noob!
We already have 2 softboxes, mediums that I am hoping will be enough to light the product carefully. If this doesn't work we will think about the light dome. I also may try the suspension trick to see it that helps. I read the article from Brooks Short, and she explains a lot about the lighting and how to get the look you want, it was helpful.
We also made the plunge today and purchased the Nikon Cool Pix 5700. It has macro settings for closeup shots, 8X optical zoom, and produces in RAW format. It also gives you complete control of the camera if you want it, or you can let the camera take over. Seems to be nice, I will post back and say how it works for us. Should be interesting to see if it does what we want it to do.
Thanks for all your help - I'll let you guys know how things turn out.
