Photos are the most important thing when it comes to marketing your property online. So, you need a good camera. The best cameras to get are SLR's. SLR stands for single-lens reflex. These cameras can get pretty expensive, but in recent years have come down in price. One major benefit of using the SLR is the ability to change lenses. For real estate a good wide angle lens is very helpful. The wide angle lens really opens up rooms, and makes the space look large.

Here is a good site with example pictures using wide angle lens 

A new cool way to find a camera is to check out photos on flickr.com based on user reviews and photos.

I own a Canon Powershot S2 IS. When I bought it, I had no idea what an SLR was. When I looked at real estate images online I noticed some were better then others, and upon doing research, I found that the SLR was the product of choice for professional photographers. Of course, I immediately wanted to sell my camera and get an SLR, but I figure my camera is still very good for your typical point and shoot camera. Maybe I'll get an SLR for Christmas. 

I thought no lenses fit my camera, but I was wrong…they do make adapters for wide-angle and telephoto lenses for my camera. So maybe I don't need to get an SLR. Here are some examples of lens adapters for the S2 IS. I think I just need to get an extended mount and the lenses screw on…I'm excited. I find photography a lot of fun, and usually use photostitch to make wide shots. I looked on Ebay for a S2 IS wide angle lens, but there were none. There were telephoto and fisheye lenses. I’m going to check out Wolf Camera to see if I can get more info, and possibly pick one up.
