I am in real estate and welcome the suggestions of improving my shots. I appreciate the simple suggestions of having clean white socks. This makes a statement to the home owners that I care about their home as much as they do. Also, to respect the character of the home is important. I have seen agents misrepresent properties. To present property in their purest form is wise. I use a Canon 17-55mm, 2.8. I had a 10-22mm but the pictures looked curved. How does the Sigma 12mm work without distortion?

Fewer pixels mean less data, and achieving high level digital shots is all about data. The quality of the image is much better at 10mp+ compared to a low resolution camera, plain and simple. I think once you shoot with all of those extra pixels, you will change your mind right away, the difference is remarkable. GEli, the 10mp requirement isnt about prints as much as it is about data.

Unless you need to do large prints that number of pixels is completely unnecessary, and even then a 1D can produce very large, sharp prints with only 4MP worth of data.

That would be a huge bummer, especially if the 10mm is distorted. If you zoom to 12mm, is it still distorted? Also, I bought the first generation ExpoDisc, I assume it is the 'standard' model. Ryan, also make sure all vertical lines are straight. Combined with a lower POV, you will get the results you are looking for. Saju, you can see more at www.curbappealphoto.com! Brandon, I am putting together a guide on 'bringing the outside in' , I will ask if they will post it here, if not it will be on my blog. www.picherthis.com Bruce, the way I eliminate distortion is the use of a great lens (Sigma 12-24mm), a geared head tripod, and a bubble level. All three of those components used in concert will minimize distortion. Paul, awesome tip! Good way to save $150! Thanks again for all of the great comments, especially Rolograaf.

My only complaint comes from not saying a more general "digital camera" and limiting it to DSLRs only.

Nice sharp and clear pictures of interiors. Shooting a lot in low-light situations with higher ISO I prefer the expose to the right method, less noise after postprocessing.

And do you use the standard or 'warm' Expodisc? Also, could you maybe link the Sigma 12mm you say you're using? I can't seem to find it for some reason. I have the Sigma 10-20mm but for indoor scenes it wouldn't work very well because of distortion, so to be able to find a lens that wouldn't give me distortion would be great for these types of shots.
