Use manual setting on a camera with a trypod. Take the pic a bit to dark -0,3 to 0,7. + always use manual white balance and not auto one. Apature F11 I think is the best, but use what you like. Keep the iso to 100 or 200 (thats why U use a trypod). And most of regular digicams nowadays should let you do this. But SLR is the best cos of better optics - that means shorter exposure times and bigger range control. Useing Olympus E-500 myself - not the best SLR in the world but works for me :)
