I think the photo looks fine, except for the light quality (it needs to be warmer and a bit less blue). Have you tried changing around the menu's for the light settings?

I have a Canon Rebel XT and I love it :)

That's not my picture, someone else took that with their camera...mine has horrible horrible picture quality.

Ooh. How much was it

Mine was purchased for college (I'm a photography major) on Amazon, I found another link for one here:

It's a really nice, all-purpose Digital SLR camera.

Damn strizzate I would.

Oh those sound so good.

Make 20 of them, and rejoice in eating all of them. I have done that many a time.

Yum!

The main thing to look for in a camera is a macro setting. Without one, you're lost if you're shooting food. The next feature I'd wish for is aperture control, since that will let you set the depth of field (i.e., how much of the image is in focus or blurry), which can make for much more appealing shots. I don't know how common or uncommon tripod mounts are, but those can really save you if you're shooting in low light (like, say, indoors in the evening, which is when I usually shoot). It's hard to take good flash pictures close up, so if you can use a tripod to minimize shake, you can take pictures with much less light.

Beyond that, it's a question of how much you want to spend and what else you'll use the camera for. I've used Fuji and Olympus digitals and had great experiences with. I've never known anyone to be unhappy with a Canon, either.

all good advice. macro is key for food shots; if you're looking at point-and-shoots, check for a macro setting, but if you want to spring for an SLR, you'll need to look into lenses that are macro-capable.

I've had two Canon SLRs (a Rebel and a 30D), and loved them both to death.

I bought a Nikon D40 and love it! It's super easy to learn how to use and takes awesome shots.
