Bryan - I have a Canon A630. It has a viewfinder, which many of the
point and shoot cameras no longer have, and which I consider essential.
Has a good macro setting, is easy to use; also has possibility to set
manually.
I use this to take my pottery pictures using an EZ-cube, and have been
very satisfied.
It has also served me well for general photography,
Good luck.

I use a Casio Exilim, and it's my favorite. It's really user friendly
and isn't too expensive, they have a couple models to choose from. I've
been taking pictures of my pottery with mine and they look pretty good.
I have a small photography business where I do wedding and high school
senior photos, check out my website... www.digital-studio.biz
All of my photos on my website were taken with my Casio.

Bryan,
Anything made by Canon is a good camera. Don't buy anything less than 4 megapixels, or more
than 8 megapixels (you only need 4 megapixels to use Zapplication, and in a capable
photographer's hands, an 8 megapixel photo is large enough for a full-page magazine shot).
Also important, make sure the camera has a "white balance" selector so you can match your light
source (incandescent, flourescent, daylight, etc.).
If you don't already have one, I would also recommend that you get a tripod. Even a $5 mini-
tripod will make your images much better than holding a camera with your hands.
Hope this helps,
Mea

I am very happy with my Sony 'Mavica' but all the geeks roll their eyes if I
mention it...
It takes the three inch 'floppy' discs...

Bryan,
Try a Nikon D40. Great resolution and it has a few bells and whistles to
work with. Not quite point and shoot. Anything with much less of a price
range will not produce the image quality you need. If you are looking to
take pics to send to family and friends, then the small-lens point and
shoot versions will do. Anything that says "digital zoom" is trash. That
just means in-camera cropping.

I have an older FujiFinePix E550 and it is great.

Phil,
That Mavica is a classic and I enjoyed using
it as my first digital camera almost 10 years ago.
I gave it to my sister after getting a more modern Sony M1
DSC 3 years ago.
She loves using it and hoards all the 3 inch floppies she can.
If someone rolls their eyes at your mention they are not a true geek,
that camera is a classic and deserves more credit.

"..pin hole cameras are Geekie.."
Once upon a time there were available laser cut pinholes made from brass
shim stock for serious pinholery. We made wide angle and telephoto pinhole
cameras, even put a pinhole on a speed graphic so we could use the rise,
shift and tilt features. For a fun shot try putting the camera on the ground
with gravel in front and objects like pop cans toy soldiers, hot wheels cars
and have a building in the background. The extreme depth of field yields
very interesting results.

They would be a Nerd, not a Geek.
A Geek doesn't mind unfashionable technology, as long as it is
technologically neat. For example, pin hole cameras are Geekie,
because although they are simple, you can do things with them that are
impossible with lens cameras.

Hi Phil,
I had been soooo happy with my Sony 'Mavica' but it started not responding
on my last vacation trip. I thought I was the only one in the world still
using 'floppy' discs...
Went out and bought a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 Digital Camera.
It is nice, however I am still trying to learn about all the buttons and
stuff.
I think my 'Mavica' took better photos.

You can still buy them online.

Yes. It is surreal. I have a teak pinhole camera that
takes 120 film. Made by a Hong Kong company, ZeroImage. Will make
a pinhole lens for a digital SLR someday.

See http://sankey.ws/pinhole.html
Can't think of a use for it in pottery though, unless you're
trying to photograph assembly of one of those monster Chinese
pottery scultures inside a studio.
