Second post here on the forums (after the intro), hope you guys can help me out and get started off in the right direction.
As the topic title describes I am on the market for a DSLR to be exclusively used for product photography. More precisely the camera will be used to take photos of the products I sell on eBay and e-commerce. I plan on doing all of my shooting indoors and of course the end result I am aiming for is the typical studio product shot with the seamless white background, soft lighting and accurate color portrayal. I am aware of the fact that all of this won't be immediate at first and most importantly the camera is going to be only the starting piece of equipment since the appropriate lens/lenses will have to be purchased and a beginners "studio" set up for the correct lighting and backdrop.
What I will be primarily taking photographs of is a variety of product sizes ranging from large backpacks/kitbags (up to 2 meters in length) down to smaller objects approximately the size of a phone, with the ability of taking close up shots of tags and other smaller details.
I did some research already (keeping in mind I am not very knowledgable on the subject) and it looks like the D90 could serve me well, but I'm open to any suggestions regarding both the body and lenses required to achieve the results I mentioned.
Look forward to receiving some helpful input.
Thanks
