I think it’s great. There have been a lot of case studies testing video and most often there’s a significant lift. If you can afford it, do it.

What are your thoughts on short product videos (20-60 seconds) as a means for enhanced product images?

Linda, your article is great. I think there are so many online retailer out there are not focused on to represent their products efficiently. Some of them have one image and a few of them have an image gallery. These online owners needs to be aware that having an online store is like having a storefront. You need to have the storefront decorated well enough and have a great product placement. Presentation is everything. With 360 degree product photography customer will have the ability to take a closer look to the products. It is like picking up the product at the store and examine it thoroughly before purchase.

We are very exited to be a part of this solution provider.

I have done some good research into 3d product photography and I feel that the level needs to be at what a company called 3D Studio are doing. http://www.3d-studio.co.uk It looks like they have worked with some good brands.

[...] Spontaneous are text scanners, so bullets would be better here, too. They like to see products in action, a link to a demo video would be great. Or an enlarged image. [...]

Linda and Jane,
We do the Photography and create viewers for high-resolution zoomable 360 degree Product images as well as Zoomable Still Images similar to the zoomify example above, and some our clients have shared with us that they have had an eye-opening increase in ROI and Conversion over thier products that do not have zoomable or interactive imagery and their rate of returns has decreased remarkably.

Of course with the advent of YouTube and the like, 30-60 second product videos are starting to take hold in the industry. Our Large Internet retailer clients are banking on rich media 360, zoom and video technologies!

Just 2 years ago the technology was at the point where 360 product images and 30-second videos were $250 per product. Now with all of our streamlined technology you can get even higher quality for only $50 per product.
you can see samples at the following links:

Best of luck to all of you in showcasing your products!

I was recently shopping online at the Top Man store (UK) and noticed that they also had the magnifying glass effect with the images.

It actually encouraged me to buy one shoe over another.

Great article and viewpoints! I am including a link to this article in one of our online classes at Photo Styling Workshops, call “Style It & Shoot It.” There is such useful information here!
