Would this camera be good for product shots?

Yes. Focus is pretty good but I would recommend stabilizing it on a tripod & with manual focus for the sharpest possible images.

There is no eye viewfinder, you need to compose on the screen on the back of the camera body. Other than this limitation, the camera is brilliant.

I guess so, considering the lightning is one of the most important things when you take pictures of products, if you take care of that I'm sure you will get excellent results

this camera would be fine, but what you'll really need is a macro lens. this is just the body of the camera, so you'll need the regular kit lens and then a macro piece (i found a really cheap one once that doubled as a wide angle lens for about $12). hope that helps!

It has the capacity to take action shots depending on the shutter speed you need. Just be aware the quality of pictures won't be that great. It's nothing more than a glorified point and shoot and my experience with it wasn't that great at all. I was glad when it got stolen, but felt a little sorry for the thief!

It is for stage photo application. So it should be fine for motion taking video. Regards, kimoutlet

Hi Carrie, It depends on the lens you choose but this camera should work great. It has a large sensor that performs well in varying light conditions. I took all the outside shoots and some of the inside shots on this real estate page using this camera. www..com

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

In my opinion, yes...some of my close ups (with this camera) have excellent detail...I am actually surprised at the quality of the photos this will take (considering the low price).

Its pretty decent for portraiture, but for event shooting, i'd go with either reflections off the walls or a diffuser. When using the softbox, you just have to make sure its not going all flimsy on you and that the leather isnt blocking any of the flash (Have the soft box erect as possible)

Personal opinion only, I think you'd find this camera would perform fairly well. It seems to do fairly well in low light situations and of course with the super zoom, you can zoom in on the target from considerable distance. Given the relative low price of this camera (compared to others with this zoom capability), your investment would be fairly low and you could always come back and sell one as "used" right here on Amazon.

As a former ebayer I would say yes: This would be a great starter for you. It has a software program you install on your computer and "import" from the camera to the computer (or from the scan memory card.)

this would be a great camrea just for that. it will take great shoots, but team that up with a good speed flash and you got a killer camera.

I think you could, having in mind it's a DIY camera. But try to look for a very similar piece to not have any problem in the future

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

Sorry. I've only used it for still photos. Would probably work OK if you didn't have to do panning and thus change focus...unless you are more nimble than I am.

If you can follow action with an LCD (no eye level finder) the camera is capable of making an image. It would not be my first choice for action shots.

Yes, for all practical purposes the camera is for real. Look at the reviews. They are reflective of the camera. Sometimes people have a bone to pick about certain products.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.
