Hi everyone , i'm really hoping some one can help me with what is the best camera to buy to photograph models .
the one i have now is i feel failing my painting level not showing the tones, highlights and detail up ive added some pics of what the camera im using now is producing.
Looking for a camera within £50 price range
Many , many thanks for any help

To be honest, anything with macro function and atleast 10mp works fine.
However, if it has a tripod or stand then even better.

Also, try taking your pics with a lighter background behind them.
The dark colour seems to draw alot away from the actual model.

I personally prefer DLSR cameras for photographing models. They're expensive, but are really nice. But l do have to agree with Jackal, most anything with 10+ MP and a macro function should work, especially for casual use.

For what its worth, i use my works phone to take my pics.
Its a cheap and nasty samsung GT with a 5mp camera on it.
It does however have macro, which makes a huge difference.

Heres a pic from my phone camera:



Does the job pretty well.
So something with 2x the mp of that should be pretty spot on and easily in your budget too.

Thanks for the great info guys appreciate it !
