Thanks to all for your kind suggestions. My husband assures me it's a
lighting issue, so I'm letting him play with lighting (since he takes
most of the pictures) to see if he's correct). You've all been very
kind with ideas -- I'll be sure to suggest a piece of tape, or

You are right in the price range for the newer DSLR's which might be
