How do I choose a digital camera for good close ups?

Question

I need a digital camera to document my art work/jewelry/sculpture so it is essential that I be able to get detailed close ups. Are most digital cameras capable of this or is there a specific feature I need to look for? Any camera recommendations? I would like to get one for under $200.

Answer 1

In Camera we look on Diff things like
1. Resolutions which Can be determined by the Nomber of Pixels, the higher the resolutin the Clear the Picture
2. Focus, The focus power also can be a factor, The shutter Speed
3. Zooming Power, how powerfoolis the Zoom, i mean how closer the Camera can Zoom the Image from Certain Distance
thats the main Things in Choosing the Camera
Normally Name doesnt matter whats Matter is the Specificatins

Answer 2

you need to be sure that you can add filters in case it does not get the quality/enlargement you are looking for. You can add extra magnifying filters that will get you closer. You need to be sure that you can view the image in real time to make sure that you have framed the shot correctly. A focal length preview feature will make sure that the depth of field is adequate. A remote shutter release will help with the shakes. You will need to make sure that the camera works in manual mode as most macro work does not lend itself to pre-programmed modes. You need a Heavy Sturdy Tripod and Macro adjustment head (Velbon) You need a lot of pure white light for macro work. So invest in a strobe light box or Professional lighted product table. You can find them on eBay fairly cheap. Avoid the cheap tables there as they are not sunlight equivalent (5500K), you must have sunlight equivalent for jewelry photography. To get the depth of field in macro you need to shut down the aperture. The higher the aperture the greater the depth of field. I have seen pictures of rings with the table of the stone in focus and the ring completely out of focus. The higher the aperture number the less light get to the camera sensor, thus the greater the amount of light needed on the subject.
