I've posted this over at dcresource, so I apologize for anyone experiencing déjà vu.

Budget

Under $1000

Size

Size does not matter.

Features

Most picture will be printed on 4X6, it would be nice to do some cropping without loosing much quality.

Most pictures will be taken from just 3 to 4 feet away.

On a scale of 1 to 10 image quality needs to be a 11. I must have a camera that has extremely accurate color!!

Manual controls are not an issue for me.

General Usage

Camera will be used to take before and after shots of paintings

All photos will be done indoor. I have to have a camera that can take shots in low light, bright light, and most importantly BLACK LIGHT settings.

All shots will be still, and will be taken on a tripod.

Thank you for your help!
