What Camera do you use?
Here is a list of camera's that other agents have endorsed for the use of photo taking in real estate.
Kodak Easy Share v570, Nikon coolpix p5000, Canon s1/s, Rebel xt. What are the main features these cameras have in common? They all have an easy wide angle application. They are all priced under 500 dollars. They all have been used by real estate agents for the purpose of shooting pictures that will go into Magazines, on flyers and used in digital presentation on the internet. These cameras are used on a daily/weekly basis not by professional photographers but real estate agents. They are not shooting pictures for a photo magazine but for the purpose of getting the house sold. Getting a phone call. The Dream of all Real Estate persons the phone call to the deal, the interest.
Now let me tell you my pick and why. I purchased and use a Panasonic DMC-fxo1 silver.There are several features that I really like
1) 6.4 mega-pixel CCD 2) 28-102mm equiv. (3.6x) 3)Leica DC Vario-Elmarit optical zoom 4x digital zoom 4) Advanced Mega Optical Image Stabilizer 5)New 16:9 840x480 pixel 30fps movie mode 6)2.5-inch, 207,000 pixel LCD with high viewing angle option 7)16 scene modes New High sensitivity mode (ISO 800-1600) 8) Color options: Silver, Black, Pink, White. I bought the silver one.
In simple terms
1) It is small enough to fit in my palm, 2) I can control wide angle and less than wide angle with only a few changes and no lenses change. 3) it has a great image stabilization 4) I use two lumix recharageble batteries because I always shoot with flash and I hammer the batteries.
All the Pictures on this website are shot with the Panasonic Dmc Fx 01 with the exception of my personal picture and the logo of Exit Realty. All these pictures were shot in the high desert either in the morning or the afternoon. All pictures have been color and exposure corrected using Microsoft Picture it! number 10.
Reading about a camera in no way gives you the experience of shooting with the camera. You simply have to spend the time and try out the features. I recommend that you are systematic about it. That you paper and pencil the settings and the shot and spend the time seeing if you achieved the effect you wanted.
Two days ago I took pictures for a listing. It was a house on Yellowstone in the Spring Valley Lake association located in Victorville. I shot at about ten o'clock in the morning to avoid harsh overhead noon time sun(yes do adjust for daylight savings) I did my best to make sure that when inside the house I had the blinds open to an appropriate amount of light and that I had all the internal lights in the house on. Then when I get back to the office I use a program to crop, adjust exposure. I also use a stitching program in order to make the even a more panoramic picture. Then I resize so they upload quickly. Wow. I visited my Pine Ridge listing yesterday with a client and handed one of the two flyers with pictures on it to her. Looking at the flyer and looking at the home I was happy with how the Koi Pond appeared. I was glad the wide angle allowed me to capture the spaciousness of this home. Then today I will be caravaning my Pahute Home. It is a cute button of a home 832 sq-ft. The Wide angle lenses was perfect to make the smaller sized rooms look bigger. Not a deception for size is stated but to get the phone to ring.
(Two of the homes in question are located in apple valley, one of them is located in victorville.)
All That for pictures here in Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley and the High Desert. It is really rewarding to take pictures that make your clients happy, make the phone ring and help make the home sell.
