The Best Digital Camera for the Handmade Artist

The other day I got a lovely email from Danielle over at Etsy. She was writing a newsletter on photography and wanted to know if I had any advice to Etsy sellers on what kind of cameras they should invest in. The latent scientist in me decided it was time to do a little research.

Excepting the camera on my phone, I have three digital cameras at my disposal. In one corner we have a Canon 30d. In another sits the FujiFilm FinePix F30. Lastly, but not leastly, we have the Nikon CoolPix L4.

It was time to see which bad boy won out.


Can you tell which camera took which photo? Did you know that one of them would only set you back about $15? Keep your eyes tuned to Etsy.com to see the results!

Hmmm.... definitely curious to see which camera did which. I'm a firm believer that you can take good pictures with any camera -- as long as you have a macro setting. Sometimes it just takes opening up that manual that comes with your camera and playing around with taking photos inside and out, close and far.

Jessica,

You have hit the nail on the head! I am also a firm believer that the camera is less important than knowing your tools and understanding how to compose an image. While I didn't harp on The Manual in my Etsy article, that is usually a big point I try to make.

The only reason I posted this in the first place to was to hit home, visually, that all of the images are of good enough quality to make some stellar product photos. Whether you have a $1000 + camera or a cheapo one you got off of Ebay, knowing your camera will make all of the difference in the world.

My friend has a Very Expensive Camera and still manages to take blurry photos 90% of the time. It's the photographer, not the camera...
