To be fair, most pros shoot with something like a Cannon Eos 5D with a wide-angle, L-glass lense. This combo costs around 5 grand or so. It is right now, the standard for pro photographers shooting for Realtors. By taking Chris' advice, you can save some serious cash. With this combo, you can shoot even in low light with no flash. Excepting the December 2008 pix, the pictures on my site were shot with the Eos 5D with a 24-105 f/4L lens. By contrast, Decemebr 2008 was shot with a tiny, Casio exilim digital.

I would also suggest that if possible, use a fairly wide angle lens for tight spots INSTEAD of backing up so far that the objects in those shots look teeny. Of course most people won't have a wide angle lens (on a decent SLR camera) - so rent one. Let's face it we are talking about a 600 grand house. To rent a wide angle lens for a digital or traditional SLR should be around 50 bucks a day. A picture is worth a thousand words or in this case 600 grand. It's the pictures that get people to visit the house. Great pictures = more visits. Good post Chris – you packed a lot of tips into just a few paragraphs.
