I am looking to purhcase a digital camera so I can specfically take self portraits. I know many cameras offer timers but my photos will be heavily posed and such so I need to have the maximum amount of control from a distance.
I will not be purchasing a $500 camera so please keep a low budget in mind or at least bracket the information like under $200 or under $300 so I can understand the price points and what the additional price has to offer. I am expecting a camera at no less than 5 mp but at such a low budget I am not expecting a whole lot else….
The photos will range from studio photos, head shots, candids and such.
Is a digital SLR the only way to go or can this be done with a cheap digital point and shoot? Are there any with remote options?
If you have any technical tips for self portraiture please give them.
