[QUOTE="tulipone, post: 2119708, member: 71656"]Personally I think you have to have a think about what it is that you are trying to achieve before spending a penny. You say that the colours don't pop but how much does that matter? I am certainly not too good either but have decided that I'll improve over time rather than cashing my pension for a slight increase. Have you tried using Photoshop or other manipulation software (this can be free) to change the levels? As suggested above, you should be able to ensure the images are similarly sized at the very least. Whatever camera, it really needs to be supported and ideally stabbing at a button best avoided. Is there a remote or timer function you could use? Some sort of stand will keep a similar distance and avoid shaking hands. At the end of the day ask yourself if popping colours are worth $100 / $500 / $1000 than work out what you need to buy.
