A Good Digital Camera

If you are going to photograph jewelry, be sure you get a camera with what is called a 'macro' setting. It will allow you to take sharp, clear pictures at extreme close-up range.

You might also want to be sure you have control over whether or not the flash goes off. Sometimes the camera will put the 'use flash' icon up, but there are situations (especially with close-ups of jewelry) where the flash does more harm than good.

Personally, I use an Olympus Camedia C-765 Ultra Zoom. I love it and have gotten such fabulous results with both jewelry and close-ups of things like flowers and other small objects.

I hope this helps.

As you will soon find out buying a digital camera especially if it is your first time purchasing one can be extremely difficult. But if you want to ease the problem of trying to decide on how to buy a digital camera without all the hassle then read below. The first thing you should do is try and learn about the terminology that relates to digital cameras as well as the basics and find out which features are crucial in any new digital camera. It is important that when you are looking to buy a digital camera for the first time you know what much of the lingo (or language that the sales staff is speaking) is about. So it is important that you understand what such words as megapixel mean, zoom, memory card, memory etc. Also look at what features each camera has to offer you. You do not want to buy a digital and then find when you get it home that it only great for close up work and the zoom feature on it is no good at all. Also look at what the quality of prints the camera produces will be like you may find that it produces great 8 x 10 prints but anything smaller or larger just look awful and the quality is terrible. So it is important that before you make your digital camera purchase you are aware of the features which matter to you the most.
