Do I need a professional camera for Etsy?

Not necessarily. A modern phone or 4K webcam in a good lighting setup produces excellent results. Lighting matters far more than the camera.

Should I invest in a lightbox?

Yes. A lightbox with built-in LED panels produces consistent, shadow-free product photos that look professional. They start at $30 and dramatically improve listing quality.
