Need help selecting camera and/or camcorder for real estate

[Peter Nelson]

We are a Seattle-based property management company. We need to purchase a good camera and camcorder for taking real estate pictures and videos for both marketing as well as inspection purposes..

What are the important features to look for in each device? Which features are "gotta have" vs. "nice to have"? We're probably looking in the $2-500 range for each. Can we find good (enough) equipment in that range. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
