Digital camera/filters question?

[galadduin]

I ordered a Sony DSC-W1 camera today, as it is reasonable priced and the abilities vere outstanding. It may seem off topic but I want this camera to take my knives pictures too. I am used to SLR machines so I wanted a camera having some adjustable/manual configurability. My question is, there are some filters (polarization, neutral density, special effects) optional, should I buy them to take decent knife pictures, do they worth 30$ for this trade?

Hope is helps.

Proper knife photography is not done with filters or other special effects. What you have to learn is to use lighting properly. Direct lighting is bad , you want diffused lighting [ I use sheets of translucent plastic in front of the light sources] or reflected light [such as white cardboard]
