[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 635627, member: 15675"] It is good to be informed, it is silly to follow the advise of others. 1) You need to know what you are looking for: I understood: - Clothing - to put on the internet 2) You need to see the time you need to put it on the internet. With quite some effort you can probably do your pictures with a phone camera. It will just be easier/faster with a DSLR. 3) You need to adjust your budget to your workflow or your ambitions to your budget. e.g. future proof will be a lot more expensive, a little out of fashion will be reachable. 2000£ => for me camera is going towards 600£, lenses 600£, accessories 800£ I have the impression that you should have a "light installation" budget?? D810 for 600£ is impossible. D750 is going to go over 1000£. D7X00/D6X0 is probably more in line. On lenses, everyone has their style, so it is difficult to advise. For D7X00 and that subject, I would go for D7000, 35mm f1.8DX, 50mm f1.8, Tamron 90mm f2.8 + 3 flashes (old SB24 or later to set up manual) + remote trigger + stands/umbrellas/reflectors + tripod & remote = that will bring you to about 2000£ P.S.: I agree the ideal is D850 (wait a few weeks) + 24mm f1.4 , 35mm f1.4, 56mm f1.4, 105 f1.4 + SB5000s etc... But that is going to be very far over 2000£. I see a normal set up at 12000£ for high quality product photography, without going Hasselblad. On the other hand with a D70 + SB-24s + kit lens 18-55 and some DIY a real photographer can get almost the same result, in a larger amount of time though. [/QUOTE]
