Hi
I need to take passport photos on a farly regular basis and wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of a suitable camera - preferably cheap and cheerful! I currently have a Fuji 2600 zoom (2 mega) but can find nothing helpful in the instructions.
Any advice gratefully received...

Be careful taking photos for passports - the Passport Office have been rejecting a lot of photos since the new requirements came into force.

They are not actually for passports - I should have said passport-type photos!

Is this really a camera problem or a print problem? (I assume you need to print?)

If the latter maybe your current camera and this HP printer with dedicated facility for passport photo type output would do the job?

Take a suitable photo - resize it to the passport size you want in Photoshop and print it out on decent paper. Bob's your uncle.

If you need multiple photo's just paste lot's of copies on the same page in Photoshop.

If you have a laptop and or a PC why dont you use a web cam? Thats how most ID cards with photo's are produced.
