Beyond the cameras listed here, how does one know if what they have already will be adequate? My particular camera is a 20D - I would hate to start over but would rather do that than build this one up and fall short of where I should be. Thx.

Ron- My dilemma is this. I’ve limited my camera list to only the ones manufacturers are now selling. If it’s on dpreview.com’s discontinued I don’t have it on the list. I need some way to limit the list.
For DSLRs this is not a real problem because, in real estate photography it’s the lens that matters most… it really matters very little which body you use if you have an adequate wide-angle lens. In your case (20D) just go to my lenses list in the Canon 1.6x section and pick one of those lenses… a 20D, or any DSLR that shoots RAW is just fine for RE photography.

I know your lists refers to “major” cameras, but I must throw a support out for Fuji, in particular the S5. Ulitizing the Nikon D200 body but with Fuji tinkering and sensor providing outstanding colours and dynamic range. Discover what many wedding photographers alread know, Fuji colours are simply the best and what works for weddings works very well for real estate.

[...] My friend Sabrina Huang who is a Realtor in the San Jose, CA area and teaches real estate photography classes to Realtors convinced me last summer that I needed to maintain a list of compact, point-and-shoot cameras that are suitable for real estate photography. Sabrina’s prodding led me to do this post last July on compact cameras and adding a list of compact cameras to my camera list. [...]

I am partial to the Nikon SLR series myself. For a less experienced photographer the D 40 is a great SLR. It is also a good camera for an amteur photographer to get familiar with the Nikon SLR line. After a bit of experience with the D 40 the ameteur will gain the abilities to move up to a better and more capable Nikon SLR.

I just heard about he Samsung HZ15W and TL320 each with 24mm lenses. Thought I would pass it along.
