Which camera would be good for taking photos of properties (houses, etc), both internal and external shots?
I need a camera that will be good to take photos of houses, both external and internal. What features should I be looking for? Will 6x optical zoom be enough? It will really only be used for this purpose so i'm not looking for something that has too many features, as they won't be used and will only confuse the salespeople. I just need a simple camera, that is easy to use and takes high quality photos.
For the interior of a room, what you don't want is a 6x optical zoom but a camera that has a WIDE lens. The "6x" "3x" or "whateverx" zoom does not tell you how wide the camera lens goes.
In photography, a lens's angle of view is represented by a millimeter number (technically the focal length of the lens). The lower the number, the wider the lens goes. With digital cameras, you can often find an "equivalency" number. You want a camera that goes as wide as 20 to 24 millimeters "equivalency" to photograph the interior of a room. Otherwise, the view will be too narrow, and the room will look too small.
Kodak makes several cameras that have two "switchable" lenses--one that is a regular zoom lens, and one that is a superwide lens. These cameras are simple and easy to use. They're worth looking at for your application.
If these are expensive houses and you are a real-estate agent, it may be worth it to find a professional photographer to do the photography. There are many that have "tilt-shift" lenses that reduce distortion when photographing an edifice, and the results they will get from their equipment and technique will be much better than what you could ever dream of doing by yourself.
Here are some cameras to look at:
