If you're in the market to find a great camera to photograph your lego creations I say go Digital. Important to note, that to get great pictures purchase a camera that has Marco Focus ability. I recently photographed a model and without Marco Focus (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Macro. :) I'd agree -- this is an important feature. It's also good to get a model that can take good shots in low light without the flash, because lego and flash don't mix well. If it's for online stuff, resolution isn't the most important (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Thank you Matthew! Yes I used a 3 point light system. Basically a back light (a light angled to luminate the model from the rear -- this seems useless but it really helps the edges of a model stand out. Next the primary light (a direct light (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Yeah, I still have to get one. The Nikon cameras have a nice feature where you hold down the shutter and it takes approx 10 pictures in quick succession and keeps only the clearest. This works amazingly well -- I've gotten clear shots with 1/2 (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I'll second that! For doing close-up LEGO photos, it might even be the most important feature you need. (...) I'll second that too! My camera[1] takes great close-up pictures with the macro, but only if there's *copious* amounts of natural (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Urp, re-reading what I wrote above, it doesn't sound like praise for the camera. Actually, in the cases that I'm not 100% satisfied with its quality, I'm usually about 90% to 95% satisfied with it. Drooling over some of the Nikon pix I've (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)
