Dave, please don't take offense, i don't know you or your experience level. I have over thirty, closer to forty years experience in print, advertising, design and photographic experience. If you are wanting reproduction facsimile quality photography, IMHO you will save yourself much frustration, not to mentioned money by hiring a pro. You can't buy the needed equipment at Costco unless you just want a camera. There is an entire segment of photography dedicated solely to food and making it look real and appetising. Again, please no offense.
