help...camera problems

[erinelliot]

I am new to this forum and am having photo quality problems.

I am an artist and the photos I take with my gateway DC-T50 5.25mp are very grainy with insane amounts of light!

I have found on the internet that others have the same problem with this camera.

I am posting my paintings on the internet (ebay) and the customers cannot really see how crisp and clean the paintings are.

The gateway was cheap but an upgrade from what I was using before (a one chip video camera.. 72 resolution..then pullin a still in finalcutpro) but now it is time to have clean photos because my business is all visual. Even with spending tons of time in photoshop the final pic's aint cuttin' it.

If anyone knows of a fairly affordable camera that produces clean photos pleeeeeeeeeese let me know.

Maybe manual focus would be a good idea but if there is a super clean point an shoot that doesnt need tons of light please share the info with me. thanks

found the camera reviews and read some posts. Thinking the Sony CyberShot DSC-W7 would be a good choice. If anyone has a problem with grain from this camera in low or average light please share.

I do light my paintings or shoot them in daylight in which my gateway fails to produce clean photos.

the sony is sounding good on this lil' artist's budget.
