What camera do people use for before and after pictures? I had a Canon that was working really well for me, but got stolen out of my car. I decided to upgrade and got one with greater zoom capacity, but it seems to have come at the cost of less micro quality. I'm wondering if I should get one for my business only and not try to have a "one size fits all" camera. I don't really feel like spending a lot of money on it.

I recently found a sale on a Sony Cybershot that is wallet sized so I can carry it with me all the time. Since we are mostly doing face shots, you don't need anything with a super big lens. I use my EPSON photo printer to print their photo out instantly and simulate the look of their future makeup. I spent $99 for the Cybershot, bought a mini hard case so I can keep it in my purse, and a medium sized memory card. I bought my printer several years ago for $189 and pay $45 for print packs with 100 pages of photo gloss paper, which I can use for PMU photos AND developing all my own personal photos.

Whatever camera you decide on, THE most important thing is READING THE MANUAL. We are taking closeup shots. Use the tulip thingy. I can't believe how many people do not know to use that for micro-close shots. It is amazing how much you can learn just by going through the manual. (Not being harsh here - I am guilty, as well!) :-)

Good point and funny you should say that! I didn't figure out the tulip setting until I read my manual on my most current camera, but it still takes lousy close-ups.

I have a Canon Sure shot 750. At one time this was a $400 camera.I think you can get it now for uner $200.I takes great close ups. It was 1 down from the more expensive #850 IS (image stabiliser).A large back screen (2 1/2 x 2 1/2).and the size of a pack of cards.
Lately, after 2yrs focusing from about 3ft away is a problem.It will take 2-3x's of pushing the shutter until if focuses. Still not sure if it's me or the camera.Macro- no problem.
