Cheap digital Nikon camera.
Nothing wrong with that.
If you have access to a Photoshop® or PaintShopPro® program, you can compensate for most of the big effects.
Centering on the frame is the first step.
Getting back as far as possible will tend to flatten out the image in the camera.
(Punch/pinch can minimize the bulge in the center of the frame)
No flash or off camera flash keeps the glare from bouncing back at you.
Enjoy!
