best way to get really good photos is to get a camera with the ability to control shutter and aperture speed. I had a sony alpha dslr camera and it was awesome you could capture the true saturation and depth of the piece with ease with just a little understanding of how shutter/aperture works. lost everything in a fire so now only have an android phone and I cant get a good pic if my life depends on it. I see really good pics with iphone sometimes, but I miss my camera so much. for about 400 bucks you can get a real nice new camera that is awesome, there are some cheaper ones that will do the job also, but like with some machines, you want quality you sometimes have to pay for it.
