To get the details of jewelry, you need a camera that does closeups (macros)
well. Nikons have a reputation of being best at this, but check the specs
on [url]www.dpreview.com[/url] to be sure.

Hi,

Go for the Nikon Coolpix. They have excelent macro capability. And don't forget
to get a tripod.

Hi!
The new Nikon 5400 seems to have terrific macro capability. Main thing
though is to:
1. Buy a digital camera that has good close up capability. My G3 is fair by
itself, I had to buy close up lenses from [url]www.lensmateonline.com[/url] with which
I can do good close ups.
2. Proper lighting is crucial, and you need to explore tungsten or other
lighting with softboxes to avoid glare, and you'll need a tripod for the
camera. Look up [url]http://users.lmi.net/~drewid/PWR_photography.html[/url] and also
do more searching for photographing jewelry on the Internet, there are many
resources available. I don't believe that flash is the way to go; others may
have different opinions.
