Mixed Media Art Questions for Milliande


I am looking for recommendations for a digital camera with the following criteria: easy to use, upload and recharge battery, able to produce quality images of original artwork, including paintings, mixed media and collages, sizes vary from 5x7 to 11x14, my computer skills are moderate, under $300, not complicated.

Will use images primarily to mount on website or send as email attachment to friends.

I have no photographic background. I am looking for recommendations from those with experience with the camera they are recommending.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

I personally have not much experience with photographing artwork professionally, I rely on photographing my artwork in daylight outside to capture as much natural light as possible, I use a tripod to hold the digitatl camera still and hope for the best..

I cannot recommend cameras as my knowledge does not expand into that area but I put the question out here so that any of our members of our art community may be able to jump in with their art camera suggestions

I personally use a G10 digital camera by Canon which is a small handheld one that has good macro capabilities for smaller details
