Ok, this is partly a post because I had to edit my posts out of a similar thread and several people seemed to be interested... anyways, I'm using a FujiFilm FinePix A205, with a very simple 1 light set-up with a tripod. The camera can be had for about $100 on EBay, sometimes you can catch a deal though. The camera does eat batteries, but you can get the AC Adapter for about $20 on EBay, but you can always get rechargables for about the same amount at Radio Shack. I'm using a normal light bulb with some paper taped around the front. Personally, I think that my pictures look great for such a cheap camera, I feel it's not quite as good as some others, like Jeremy, Frank, Bill, and a couple other people's pics, but I think for only paying a quarter or less of what they paid, this is a pretty good camera. Below is a picture of my set-up, and also a couple of my pics from my Registry Type Set. I'm still working on cropping the rest of the pictures and posting them to the Registry. Thank you for the comments, advice, suggestions, They are greatly appreciated!!
