Question Hi Sara - What's a simple little digital camera for taking indoor closeups of
pictures for eBay listings? Nothing fancy, expensive or difficut to use - I only
sell one or 2 items a year but need to take some pictures.
Answer I would recommend that you go to your local target or kmart and find a simple camera that you find easy to use. Since you are not concerned with the quality (photos on ebay need only be 72 dpi), the megapixel rating is unimportant. If you do not have photo editing software on your computer, make sure the camera comes with its own basic editing software that will allow you to rotate ,crop, or adjust contrast on the images. Also make sure the camera is compatible with your computers operating system. I am not all that familiar with low-end digital cameras but I have used a Fujifilm camera before and it worked well. I would suggest that you look at a few different cameras in your price range, play with the features and get the one that you are most comfortable with using.
