Hey there,
I currently have a Nikon D3200 which I'm guessing is a good, entry-level, all rounder? I'm aiming to shoot top quality product photos for a personal project - although I know this won't be easy. I've bought a great lightbox which sets the scene beautifully with brilliant, soft white light. However, unsurprisingly when taking initial test shots the colours aren't correct (too yellow).
After reading up on White Balance and Kelvin, I set about trying to adjust my camera's White Balance manually, only to find the D3200 doesn't have the option to adjust colour within WB settings.
Would anyone be able to comment on whether my Nikon D3200 is simply too basic to achieve a professional standard of product photography (isolated on white background).
I'm looking to achieve a very high quality macro image of the products so I guess a new lens is in order too.
The camera was only intended for personal use and I don't mind upgrading but only where necessary. For example, I noticed the Nikon D7000 spec states: "choose color temperature (2,500 K to 10,000 K), all with fine tuning; white balance bracketing: 2 to 3 frames in steps of 1, 2 or 3".
I'd very much appreciate your comments, and if you do recommend another camera it would be very useful to understand why that one in particular.
Thanks!
