OK, I'm so far behind in the Canon dSLR world that I need a bit of help. I've got a number of clients who could use some regular photography of their products- mainly restaurants. I'm beginning to think that at $200/session to hire a photographer, I could go out, purchase amid level dSLR and a macro lens to cover my clients for their advertising and web needs far more cheaply (especially since the fees come out of our budget, not theirs).
So, here are my questions:
1. Are new new EOS Rebels decent for this purpose? If not, I can always go back to a 20D or something like that, but we're not going to be producing anything other than photos for web use, some magazine printing, newspaper printing and press kits.
2. What's out there right now for decent macro lenses for product shooting?
