If you need hard cardboard ask at shop eg Boots who throw out lads of white backed card board everytime offers change.  with a scored line to help it folds well and "instant background".

Yes, I have one. They are really great for the "Finished" part shots (assuming they will fit in the tent) Mine came with a couple of extra coloured panels, red blue and black I think, the black one was good to put on the base, and then I put a piece of glass on top and then the part/project sat on top of the glass, it created a very nice reflection of the project. Then you can use a couple of off-camera flashes either side of the tent, or at a pinch use a couple of household lamps and put the camera on a tripod and use lower shutter speeds. (the advantage of using household lamps is that you can see how the light is falling on the model before you take the picture)

Well worth the few pounds it cost.

I agree with Tim's idea about household lamps and seeing how the light falls. Plus, with modern digital cameras and computers compensating for the colour temperature is a snap.

All depends on how involved you want to get with the photographing process.

Sony NEX7.

Absolutely amazing.
Pro results, from semi-pro budget (and yes I worked in pro video (in it)).

Optics and sensor are amazing.
They discontinued the nex7, and new ones are more $$ with same (?) sensor.

I use a Nikon D90 I bought a while back, with a rather excellent 18-300mm lens on it I've also got an 11-16mm ultrawide if I really need, but after reading Ken Rockwell's site, I try to find funky things to do with that lens, rather than "get it all in" photography. I barely post-process any of my photos, I just crop them if necessary, re-size for web use if that's their destination & use them as-is. I may also add a watermark, if I can find the software at the time.
