If you just meant digital still camera, then feel free to ignore the rest of this. <g> My real point is that digital _movie_ cameras don't usually take particularly good still pictures. I have not photographed any tombstones yet, but I do plan to start (I'm a real newbie at this genealogy business). In the spirit of "using what you have", I plan to just use my Canon G3. It is a fairly old camera as digital cameras go now days with about 4 megapixels but a pretty fair lens and optical zoom. I've been very happy with it though for general photography, and I expect it to do fine on tombstones. I have printed some 8x10 inch photos with it and been quite pleased with the results.
