Its no secret that I've had a lot of trouble posting my photos for this thread. What type of camera do the rest of you use?

HI Bill... I've used a old cheap digital, not quite a point-shoot but not a SLR either. Also some photos I've posted are from my new 4G phone. All are transferred to photobucket in order to get the image code to post in a reply.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Bill, I use a Nikon Coolpix 8700 for model photo's. It has 8 megapixels, which is good enough for models. My settings are set for Macro, no flash and picture settings at fine.I use standard florescent lighting.

All my photos are taken with my Droid Bionic in macro mode, although it usually takes me 2 or 3 tries to hold it steady enough. Photos are directly "shared" to my Flickr account for linking to on the forums. The key concern is having enough light, I'm usually pointing my adjustable gooseneck lamp straight over my shoulder to show details, because dramatic shadows don't help show off a build. ;)
