It would be used exlusively for taking pictures of products. I was thinking of just using my Samsung S23 since I'm kinda poor but then realized that's retarded since presentation is literally everything.Budget is around $1,000 max, prefer around $700 or lower.Insights appreciated.
Stuff like the OP pic and picrel. I'm curious on the process too, do I need to go to a studio ? Do I edit the pics in photoshop afterwards ?Or just shoot and done
>>4499913Any cheap DSLR you can get with a 50mm or 35mm and a big roll of white paper or drapes for background, some lamps to get some fixed lights, cheaper than a strobe setup.
>>4499913I do this shit for my own ecommerce shitCanon 5d IICanon 100 f2.8 macroCanon 35mm f2Tripod2 godox flashes and a godox transmitterBig roll of white paper (infinite wall) and one of those all white cubbies that are rounded insideTurntables can help tooAs a bonus using a 5dII or 5dIII lets you do real photography also but they are really the bare minimum and basically the digital camera serious film guys keep just to have one around
>>4499920also yes for larger items you need to diffuse the flashYou can buy softboxes but you can also just hang a white pillow case in front of the flash an then a white bedsheet in front of the pillowcase if you want even more diffusionI use ad200s
>>4499917>>4499920Thanks lads I'll have to buy used to fit my budgetAny things in particular I should be looking for when buying used camera's ?
>>4499921I really like the drapes this guy uses, but man are they expensive bedsheets are not a bad idea
>>4499924just make sure it has an effective optical low-pass filter / AA filter (or the option to install one, which isn't common)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd2TyUrVBL8&t=1138
>>4499936What about pickleshift?
>>4499936Yeah thats why I’m a fan of the 5d2/5d3 for the bare minimumThe 5div is quite overpriced (would rather get a d800, not d810 or d800e)Yes mirrorless is better!The only real step up is a r5/z8/z7ii, a7cr or a medium format
>>4499938Total fucking meme and has issues if you so much as walk or breathe AND requires hypersharp 1k lenses to not look like shit. If it were useful mft would have destroyed apsc.
>>4499942I thought it just remove morays. I mean bro is just taking pics of cloths n shit.
>>4499943So does having a good olpf like a 5d2/5d3/5ds (non-r)
/fa/ggot here, are you producing this stuff yourself, importing and reselling good quality products, or just dropshipping garbage from Taobao?
>>4499936Appreciate it a lot m8
>>4499946White label, trying to be local (Canada) but holy fuck are our manufacturers the greediest goddamn kikes imaginable, it's no wonder people go overseas. Worst case scenario I find somewhere in Europe, that way at least I support my own nation.I got fed up with how virtually all our clothes are synthetic petroleum filth, xenoestrogens oozing into my skin that I decided to just create my own stuffFor instance, I've spent $500 the past year or so just on boxer briefs from various brands that are 100% cotton, and basically every single fucking one of them produce absolute dogshit except for maybe Tommy HilfagerIt wasn't always like this, 30 years ago most brands were producing high quality clothes that are actually breathable, but now it's all seen as "vintage" lmfao
>>4499917is 50mm > 35mm?what's the definitive consensus
>>4499990Yes, 50mm > 35mm
>>4500004why?
>>4500093Because 50>35
>>4500093>asks for consensus>gets answer>now wants technical reasondo you want the fucking consensus to choose for you or do you want the fucking technical reasons to choose yourself?
>>4499924if possible buy in person or somewhere with solid return policy. if anything is indicating water damage, fall or big hit (cracks, rattling (when it shouldn't, some lenses have elements inside loose when unpowered)) then abort immediately. same with moisture or fungus. shutter count for used camera like canon 5dmk2 around 200k is regular mileage, double that is risky territory and avoid unless it's a great deal and mint outside condition. used gear trade stores will give you couple months warranty and convenient catalogue but will add a mark-up in the prize
