Recommendations for a digital camera?

[Michele Rushworth]

Does anyone out there use a digital camera to photograph their models?

I'd like to buy one that would let me use its output as the sole reference for my paintings. Therefore it would have to have enough resolution to be very crisp when output at about 8x10 inches on my printer.

I'd also like a digital camera that has a good size flip out screen so I could see details in each shot to determine if the lighting/expression etc were useable for a painting. I don't like waiting a day or so for film to be processed, only to find out that the subjects eyes are squinty from the lighting or that the shadows are too dark, for example. I'd like to see what I shot while I'm still on site, so I can make addjustments rather than schedule a second photo session. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
