Question
Hi,
I'm an oil painter and camera newbie. I'm looking for a high quality camera that I can use to take professional photos of my art. I have a budget of $1000. I'm not sure where to start or what to look for. Do you have any recommendations that will suit my needs? Thanks! I really appreciate your time and feedback.
John,
It really doesn't matter which camera you buy, as long as it is a digital SLR. You actually need to put more thought into the lens and flash. What are you going to use the pictures for? How will they be printed?
Also let me know the size of your canvas; where you photograph them; what kind of light is available.
I'll get back to you with some suggestions.
John

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
