I am looking for a digital camera to
digitize my collection database, but it will also be used to photograph
objects for possible publication or web use. I'd like something that
has the ability to take raw or very high quality jpg images, which is easy
to use, and reasonably priced ($900 or so). Our collection consists
of 1:12 scale (one inch = one foot) miniature furniture and accessories,
so a macro option is essential. I do no currently have a card reader,
and am open to cameras that take mini CDs, zip disks, or memory sticks.
I have heard (from non-museum sources) that the Canon G series and
the Sony Mavica are both excellent choices. I'd love to hear your
suggestions and experiences.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
