So here I go again..
The last time I went down the route of buying a DSLR I really struggled with it. one because of my lack of photography knowledge but I purchased an older model which didn't have the features I needed.
The main problem I had was with focus. I was using a remote cable and a tripod. I couldn't tell from the little preview screen on the back if it was perfectly in focus or not, and it was only after transferring the picture onto my PC it looked like I had consumed a few beers. Everything else such as exposure I will be able to figure out by reading up on it, but the focusing issue was the crux of it for me.
I then noticed on higher models, that they can output the picture onto a computer screen in live time, and allow you to take the picture by using the software. As my camera didn't support this (I think it was a Canon 300 or 350D) that was the end of my venture and I went back to a point and click cheap as chips camera.
I need to be taking studio quality pictures of my pens for marketing purposes, and I really don't want to buy the wrong camera again
Any pro's like to suggest what I should be looking at? It would be greatly appreciated.
