Hi;
Looking for recommendations to accommodate the following needs/features:
We are currently using a Sony nex-5 to take product photography - these are all different products, shot on about 4 different surfaces at VERY high rates.
So; the photographer stands in the middle of 4 shooting stands/tables of varying heights, goes to first stand, shoots the products bar code (macro) and then about 5 shots of the product - as fast as about a 2 second break between each picture... This basically repeats on each stand (next product). for possibly up to 4 hours (or more...) almost straight...
Current issues using our NEX5:
1. Flash - flash does not charge quick enough - setting on camera is always to "sharp" (the whole picture has to be in focus) - so assume flash is needed for all shots (external flash solutions that we tried do NOT work with the NEX5). - We could be waiting more that 10 seconds for the cameras flash to recharge.
2. wireless - "live" active wireless is a must - we need pictures to upload to the PC in the order they were taken - ASAP. (currently the wifi (Eye-Fi) card in the SONY does not always seem to upload in order). - FIFO..
MUST FEATURES:
TILTING SCREEN. (Pref. like the sony - not the ones that swing to the left of the camera and then tilt).
WiFi - a high quality built in to camera WiFi system.
Super fast focus.
Super fast shot to shot times. (maybe with 1/2 second preview).
Low light capability.
Capable Flash -If internal flash cannot keep up with 1 shot every 2-5 seconds then the ability to use an external flash is a must.
What we think should... be perfect:
Sony NEX-6... or...?
Thanks a lot in advance for everyone's help!
