There's only so much a plastic, 5mm-wide, fingerprints ridden lens could do with light.Control, of aperture and speed. With a wide aperture you can try and isolate the subject by blurring the background (useful if trying to sell stuff in a crowded place (a lamp in a thrift shop, a car in a parking lot, ...)You can screw a filter to it. A polarizing one, maybe, to get a bit of control over reflections if you're selling, well, reflective stuff.Low-light/high ISO capabilities so you maybe could shoot that billiard table in the basement without taking it to the outside sun.Etc.</blockquote>
