Question
I am a Real Estate Agent who needs a camera to take internal and external pictures of properties.  I would like to know a good brand and model to purchase.

Thanks,
Jack C.  

Answer
Jack,

Hello. Thanks for the question.

A few important things to consider for Real Estate photos is the ability to use a wide angle lens, and the ability to use flash WITH the wide angle lens.  The best way to do this would be with a digital SLR like the Canon Digital Rebel and EX420 flash.  However, most folks would consider that alternative a bit expensive.  Camera, flash and memory card will probably run around $1300.

An example of a less expensive camera that still offers a wide angle lens and ability to use external flash would the Nikon CoolPix 5400.  The lens quality is not as nice as the Rebel, but it should be fine for Real Estate photography.

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.
