Yeah, it's me again. I've lucked into providing the photos for a book. Mmy first thought was to use one of my film Nikon SLR's, but since the subjects will be transient (not transients!), I can't wait for a week to get my film developed. Which leads me to digital, I can't ever see myself behind a DSLR since I'll need something that is rather unobtrusive. Had thought about Nikon P7100, but my local camera shop says the pix won't be high enough quality for publication, so... Any suggestions? Anyone esle been in this situation? I've got a budget of around $650.00 so that kind of limits me.:dance:

tell your local camera shop they should stop giving advice and buy the nikon if that is what you want. i assure you getting work from it published is entirely possible.

If you could shoot it with a film Nikon SLR, you can shoot it with a digital Nikon SLR. what's the issue? Rent a Nikon D700 body and have at it.

The camera shop is talking out of their hat ... that camera will provide more than enough quality for small book sized print publications.

Congrats on getting the opportunity to do something like this by the way. 🙂

Thanks so much for your input. It kind of matches my thoughts.

$650? Sony NEX-5, Sony RX100, Panasonic GF series, Olympus E-P3.... you might even be able to score a Fuji X100 at that price if you look hard enough.
