p.1 #1 · Product Shots Help


i need a basic set up to do some product shots.

*lighting
*lens

i will either be using a canon XT or XTI as the camera body
do i need a DSLR? or a nice P&S will do? like a G7 or G9
i want to make the process as simple as possible

i was looking at this lighting kit:

Hi,

You may take a look at Table Top Studio. They use CFL lights. A lot cooler running and easier on electric bill both for lighting and a/c. Whatever camera you use you will need to shot RAW with custom color profile. That will provide consistency across product line.

Few samples using Table Top Studio:
