Need Camera Recommendation
I've had good luck with the Canon T2i and one of these http://www.lightscoop.com/. We've been using the T3i (same as the T2i but with an articulated lcd screen) for imagery and video and our marketing department has taken notice. We no longer go to them for stock company images... in fact they come to us because we make a point to be at every company event and shoot both video and photos. As far as tripods go, get the sturdiest one you can. I picked up a Bogen on eBay for like $50... it can be done.
as far as shooting in such an open space like a warehouse, you may just want to rent a flash from http://www.borrowlenses.com/... that way you have it for your project, but you're not out the serious money it costs for a good one.
Lastly... know your camera. Spend a day just playing around in total manual mode... change the settings and see the results. The camera will keep all of the data for each image when you download so you can review it later. Know your camera!
Hope this helps
