What kind of camera is suitable for documenting paintings?
I do professional work, so I would like to get a professional camera to document my paintings. I was referred to the Canon Rebel XS, but I’m not sure. It seems a bit too pricey. Any suggestions?
It is not a matter of the camera as surely as it is a matter of the correct lighting. Paintings should be flooded with general light shining from 45 degree angles to the plane on the canvas to eliminate or deminish glare and hot spots. Camera flash lighting will simply produce exteme glare. Beyond that (unless youre planning to use the file to make giclee prints) the pixel count of almost any camera will be plenty high for portfolio, gallery and client consideration.
I use a Canon Rebel, too, but mainly for typical photography, not documentation.

I’ve used a Canon Pro Shot and it was fine.
