Many thanks

I was given my digital camera for mother's day last year, and I really wish I had known then what to ask for. It's a Kodak Easyshare - and works terrifically for snapping candid photos, but horribly for archiving paintings. I asked for it specifically because of the dock accessory - it's a charging system that connects to the computer so you can download the photos and charge the battery simultaneously. Ironically, the dock no longer works.

I'm afraid there's no help available for me, short of buying a new set-up. I could get a tri-pod to help with the blurring, but I will wait until I can sort through the wealth of information to figure out which camera will suit my needs and budget. (Budget being the biggest factor.)

Anyway - the client is a (cartooning) colleague, so I'm fairly sure that I can get permission to go back and re-shoot. Short of that, hopefully by the time I need to varnish his painting, I will have a quality set-up.

Speaking of varnishing - is it necessary to remove the painting from its frame for the final varnish?
