In need of a new digital camera I spent quite a few hours reading camera reviews. Searching for a digital camera that wouldn't break the bank! A camera with optical zoom that I could use on my antique picking adventures.
I take hundreds of photos for each of our antique auctions. Most of which are taken indoors under less than great lighting conditions. So a camera that could take decent indoor photographs without the necessity of a flash was quite important. Hopefully the chosen camera would have macro capability for those close up shots that are sometimes necessary!
I didn't place much concern on the flash abilities of the cameras I previewed online. Other than that I could easily disable the flash for most of my picture taking.
