glass and panel picture

It might be helpful to know how much you are looking to spend, and what your intended use is (printed picture or web page).

I picked up a Kodak DX3215 (1.3 megapixel) new off ebay for the purpose of web pages and putting stuff on ebay. Takes _surprisingly_ good pictures for the $100.00 I paid for it. But they say don't try to print pictures out bigger than 5 X 7 (I haven't tried it).

Bill, have you taken any picture ofyour glass? If yes, didthe colour cameout good?

Tks

You get what you pay for Marc. In general a cheap camera will give you cheap results. For Ebay and the web, that may be fine. Most of the cheap cameras don't have many manual settings, therfore you are at the mercy of the AUTO monster. A good digital camera, $400 ballpark, not only has some manual adjustments, but also has good AUTO color capability. So many good cameras out there, and prices dropping by the second. I love the mid range Sony Mavica's. They store pix on a mini CD instead of a memory card. Quality is excellent. Look for a CD 250, 300, 400 on Ebay.

Marc, I use a Sony Cybershot P-71 and love it, after having a Sony Mavica 71.

resolution and Megapixels are the key words, the higher resolution and the larger number of megapixels, the higher the cost. I bought the Cybershot on ebay, brand new, not refurbished, for $385 and it is terrific. By the way, with most cameras, purple shows up brown, its not the camera, its the way all cameras see purple, especially film cameras.

I don't do stained, I do etched.
