Camera Recommendations

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

I have a requirement for a camera; I don't particularly want to spend a huge amount of money - up to 400 quid perhaps - but I need something that will be good for taking good quality close up photographs of various items (mostly fruit and veg) for a website I'm building.

Is there a decent compact camera up to the task? Or would I more likely be requiring an SLR with some special lens for close ups?

Whilst I'm on the subject, as it's for a website, could I purchase said camera through my Ltd?

Ploughs in advance.

Not so sure about makes of cameras but a couple of people have asked about cameras through the business... Question comes down to how many times will you use it? What would you do when the site is set up? No need to take any more pictures so it becomes a personal camera with occasional business use would fall in BIK land.

I am sure someone will come along and say just buy it and argue it if you are seriously unlucky and get investigated. All you will pay is difference with some interest I guess.

Do not at all waste time on a compact. Its Pointandshootless
If it is for a website or even for pleasure then always use an SLR.
There is no lens quality comparison at all.
Get a entry level Nikon/Canon SLR and the pics will be great.

Enjoy the fruit & veg

Yes, the Nikon & Canon entry level models seem like a good bet.

Thanks for the recommendations chaps.
