re: Cameras for food photography

Hi there. Pleased to give you my view. Since I come from a press photography background, and have use the top of the range Canon and Nikon cameras, I have experience of the “best” cameras. However, I am now a Fuji Finepix girl! Cheap by all considerations and an amazing piece of equipment. Madly expensive does not mean better. Providing your camera (which most cameras do now) have a white balance setting, you are safe and good to go. Take a look at the Finepix HS30. Fixed lens which zooms. Don’t get bogged down in all the hype. Fundamentally, it is not the camera that is going to make the difference. They are all good these days. It is your skill. The camera is just a tool. Some of the best pix that I have seen were still taken with Kodak Brownies! If you would like to chat about this, you are more than welcome to write to me, and I will certainly help where I can. info@cakesandcookies.co.za (One thing that I could and never would use for special photographs is a phone). Good luck, and happy shopping.
