Hi
I have an e-commerce website and need to take pics of all my products which a photographer used to do.
Which camera is most suited for this purpose?

You could do it with almost any camera - I'd be more concerned about lighting and background.

It all depends on what the product is.

Thank you Bwana.
That makes a lot of sense.

Show us a sample of couple that the photographer took, and we'll try and give the best recommendations on how to do something similar.

Have a look at my profile pic, that is one of them. I don't think im allowed to put a link to my website here, but all the pics are there.

If you have a good cell camera you could use that. What size are your products? Would they fit in a mini lightbox?
Example at Bid or buy

You can also hire time at a local studio with use of lights. They often have a junior (student) who can help you with setups and photos. You definitely don't need a professional.

Potentially something that shoots in RAW so you can touch up backgrounds or have more control in post.

Any dslr/mirrorless camera that was made in the last 10yrs, shoot in raw, 2 flashes + 4 x yongnuo wireless flashes = all set.

Fortunately endless upgrade cycles in camera equipment means you can get almost all of that 2hnd for relatively little money.

I'd choose a Fujifilm setup because they are small and light and the entry level kit 16-50mm lens is ridiculously sharp and perfect for most types of product photography.
