Camera for Product photography?


I'm in the market to buy a new camera. I'm really clueless about cameras and photography. But I run a small online store and I want to improve on my product photography. I've been using my old Canon 450D and would like to upgrade into a mirror-less camera such as Olympus.

I'm interested in cameras like Olympus because it's compact and lighter than heavy duty DSLR camera such as nikon or cannon. Do you reckon Olympus will be good for product photography? Because I'm only taking photos of 40-60cm objects. Seems like Olympus is really good at landscape photography because of the art filters but I don't know if it's something commonly used for product. Would it be the same as other cameras because it is only a matter of lenses?

Any input or suggestions?

What is the cause of the green spot in this photoraph (Arrowed)?

I am using a Nikon 55-200MM F/4-5.6 AF-S VR DX Black Lens with a Nikon 52Mm Filter Nc Neutral Colour, using the lens hood that came with the lens.
I do not want to remove the filter, but this could be the cause. It appears in all sorts of pics, usually just off centre. It is not a reflection of a signal light.
Is there a way to stop it happening?
It happens on two cameras too. What is the cause of the green spot in this photoraph Arrowed

Which Lens should I use to record video on an Nikon D5000?


Hello! I have a Nikon D5000, and I was trying to shoot a video, but the video isn't very sharp and not very high quality… I have it setup to be 1280x720, and the ratio works, but it doesn't appear to be a crisp quality… Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Any settings I may have skipped over?

(I do have sufficient lighting, I belive!)

I'm a beginning photographer, is this Nikon Camera a good choice?


I like to take close ups, and I'm thinking about getting a Nikon D3300. They seem pretty good, and within my price range. Are they a good choice for beginning photographers? If not, what would you recommend? Thanks so much! :)

Lens optic comparisons?


I'm doing some video work, and I'm wondering which one of my lenses (nikon) will lead in terms of optic quality. I have the 90mm f2.8 tamron USD (more expensive version with internal focusing), 50mm f1.4 AF-D, 35mm f1.8 AF-S G (dx only). I'm shooting with a crop sensor body.

I'm after sharpness, minimal chromatic aberrations and minimal flares. Will the 90mm with the low dispersion elements have the best quality? Or will the newer, cheaper 35mm f1.8 have better image quality? Same goes with the 50mm, which one has the best optics in terms of sharpness, distortion, aberrations and flaring? I'm looking for responses from people who have had experience with these lenses.

Mirrorless camera with picture quality about the same as a Nikon D3300?


I was looking at buying a good camera an I found the Nikon D3300, it has very positive reviews, good features like no AA-filter, 24 MP sensor, light and overall a good camera. Now, I was wondering how the Nikon would compare to a mirrorless with similar image quality and features, and price. Is it a good idea to buy the D3300 for beginner or buy a mirrorless with similar price? Thanks!
