Oh, I definitely want to do some photo shoots with us. We need to have some nice gatherings in a park or something when the weather supports it, so we can do photo shoots in natural surroundings (rather than surrounded by renfaire patrons).
I have to admit, a part of me really wants to look into DSLR cameras. But man, the money. I could get an Albion instead.
My current camera is pretty top-of-the-line as far as point-and-shoots go. But I'd have to give you guys some coaching to coax good photos out of it for when we hand the camera around. That's true of any camera, of course.
The biggest enemies of good photos are proper lighting, and framing/angle. A lot of the rest can be fixed later in photoshop, but there's only so much you can do if the lighting was crap or the shot was taken from a poor vantage point.
