I'll be purhasing my first digital camera. I'm looking for something that will eliminate or prevent pet-eye and take still photo's for internet sales (not jewelry). Some general family photo's would be nice too. I'm looking for something reasonably priced that will accomplish all the above. Thanks

Pet eye is similar to red eye, but not the same. Redeye is light reflecting off the back of the retina which comes back out through the pupil, the retina absorbs G & B light but because blood is already red, red is the only colour that passes through, acting like a filter.

Peteye, like in cats, is a phosphor glow from the retina, the very substance which enables cats to see in the dark. Also, cat eyes react instantly, where the human iris has a bit of a delay to the reaction of sudden and strong light.

Redeye, we've mastered that one, but weather there's a peteye fix yet ? I don't know. Most modern compacts have redeye fixes on them and most are pretty decent, though some does slip through occasionally. I've had nothing but job with my A640, it comes highly reccomended for your purpose, but peteye - I wish I knew myself.

BBoi,
Thank you for yur response. That was very informative and helpful. I hear that HP has a Photosmart R837 and R937 with a "Pet Eye Fix." Has anyone heard about it and do you know if it really works? I'm also wondering if the HP Photosmart will take quality still photos of products. I plan to download the photos to my internet site and sell these products. None of the products are jewelry.

Bboi, it's the tapetum lucidum that reflects the light in a cat eye.
