It is a nice camera. One of the top non-DLSR and actually more expensive than some DLSR's. Why did you get it? Megapixels, size?

welp, actually found a dslr that may be what i'm looking for. the sony a200k dslr. an entry level dslr.

I wanted dslr originally so i can get perfect clarity high res images...
 
If you want a DSLR I'd get one from a company that specifically makes cameras, aka Nikon or Canon. I'm not sure who Sony's are based off of. I heard they bought out someone like Minolta or Olympus, so their DSLR's might be ok. Not sure what you're paying for it, but the Nikon D40 with an 18-55 mm lens is an excellent camera for $499 at Best Buy.
 
goto Walmart, get a nice 8meg PHD digital camera.. there good... very good for what your going to do.

be advized... the better the camera the more setting to mess with.. more to go wrong.

PHD= Push Here Dummy
 
I think a DSLR is a great investment for detailers. Providing quality pics that really show off your work is crucial to proving to someone over the internet what you can really do. Plus once you get the hang of using it and learn the settings they are much more versatile than a point and shoot. I personally shoot Sony, but I might recommend Canon or Nikon just for the fact that they are more popular, so it is easier to pick up used lenses and accessories for them should the photo bug really bite you!

I'll have to disagree with you here! All DSLR's have an auto mode, as well as auto focus. These essentially make them a point and shoot camera, however as you learn you can tweak those settings to produce some spectacular images! ;)
 
DSLR's have auto mode but for those that have zero knowledge still can have issues. There are some settings like ISO, exposure or flash compensation, etc that can be changed even in Auto mode.

Although I have a Nikon DSLR, the high end non-DSLR cameras can offer several advantages since they have smaller lens/sensors. They have much greater depth of field near maximum aperture and they often do macro readily. My stock zoom lens cannot focus that close so not really near macro capability.
 
I'm pretty sure i can buy a lot of stuff with the price differance between the power shot and a DSLR.. but you should talk to me after all I have a big gun and lot's o lenes to back it up..

that said a lot of my pic's came from my small canon. and they look great
