re: Cameras for food photography

SO HAPPY that I saw this post- I have been so frustrated with my Nikon and the photos that it produces.
Although I have put a few methods into practice that help (using natural light as often as possible, creating a backdrop etc) but it seems that no matter which white balance setting that I use, the colors never photograph accurately!

No matter what, the “yellows” always show up REALLY REALLY bright and saturated. Even the golden brown baked goods photograph unnaturally yellow. It’s a ton of work to edit the photos to correct it and often it simply can’t be altered to produce an acceptable image at all, as the other colors in the photograph then begin to distort. Very frustrating.
Another sticking point is the appearance of anything colored purple/violet. Those colors never, never, NEVER reproduce well at all; they ALWAYS appear so blue!
Not too happy with my ‘blues’ on my cakes, either hahaha

I have a Nikon CoolPix- any suggestions? This site is such a wonderful place for support and encouragement and inspiration, thanks!
