Hi,
I am brand new to photography but I need to start because I am starting a new online store and I would like to take nice quality product photos. My products will be phone cases for the most part and taken on a white background. I have purchased 3 photography bulbs with lamps (5500k 42W) and I also have a pop up white photography tent. I have researched basic setups for product photography so I have a small idea but my problem is what camera to use?
I have an iPhone 4 and I have tried taking product photos with it but for obvious reasons they are not all that good so I am looking into purchasing a digicam. I have found a really good deal on a second hand: Canon Powershot A720 IS 8.0MP but I have no idea whether this will be suitable? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Edit: I have a very small budget so buying an SLR or something similar is totally out of my range..
