A little while back I decided to purchase a camera for taking better real estate photos, specifically one with a wide angle lens. My criteria were:
- Under $300
- Must have wide angle (28mm or better) lens
- Able to to double duty as my personal camera
I did some searching, and ended up purchasing the “Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)” for $249 at Amazon.com:
I purchased a new but slightly older model, which I would strongly recommend as the newest version can be in the $400′s, which was more than I needed to spend for a camera. So far, I’ve been very happy with it, and it’s small enough that I can take it pretty unobtrusively when I’m with clients, to snap photos for them in case they want them later and also to kill two birds with one stone by taking photos for my local real estate blog.
