Nikon has a good reputation and a funny special mode named "museum" on their Coolpix 8400,  8 megapixel
its good and quite expensive, nice zoom, and I guess you dont have to buy a new next year.
- their cheaper Coolpix 7900, seems OK, but its only JPEG, no RAW-format
 
all the tests of several models http://www.dpreview.com/

Ämne: digital cameras?

 

I’m shopping for digital cameras for general use by our staff (registrars, curators, art handlers, conservators, etc.). They’d be used for general identification shots, packing & crating documentation, as well as for detail shots when needed. We’d like to get something simple, but at the same time a camera that will produce dependable results under many different lighting conditions. For ease of support and training, we’re hoping to purchase the same general use model across departments. These images will land in our TMS database for internal use/reference.

 

Are there any camera recommendations in this crowd? Anyone have a camera that you & your staff love?

 

Thanks,

Jeri
