Crop sensor and inside real estate shots are not the best combo.

If you can produce useful images, why not? The OP needs to find a short wide zoom that fits his camera. It does not have to be the best possible lens or sensor - he is not doing spreads for House Beautiful - he just needs to show the architectural features and contents of a room for display on line or in modest sized prints.

As a person that only gave an opinion, get the $309 lenses and see how it works for you.

I believe that existing light is the only way to go. It is what you see when you're in the room. Adding additional light is not a true representation of what the environment actually appears. You can open shadows if you shoot RAW and manipulate in Photoshop. The Canon 10-18 on a crop sensor camera equals a 15-27mm lens which is fine. I have a 14mm but the distortion is a bit much.
It doesn't need to BE existing light, but it should LOOK like existing light. Shooting raw and spending time photoshopping seems like a waste of effort for something that is most likely going to be used online, or at most in small printed form. Seems to me, well composed and exposed JPEG's should be quite what is required and desired. Quite good distortion correction - straightening lines - can be done quickly and easily on jpeg's in any number of graphics programs.

"Best" is subjective. It certainly is the best combination for me. And, using the right combination of equipment, and 37 years of photography experience, I'll wager I can match, or beat, the quality of most other photographers using a full frame sensor. Far more important than sensor size are (in no particular order);
○ lens quality,
○ vision,
○ attention to detail,
○ planning and forethought,
○ proper lighting and exposure,
○ experience,
○ et cetera.

You can pay a couple of grand for a special lens or you can adjust perspective during post-processing.
I did this with a ten dollar app and a point-and-shoot camera. I could have gotten in closer and still done the same thing.

I shoot all of my interiors with a Nikon D7100 and Sigma 10-15mm lens and it works great.

I photograph interiors for an Interior Decorator, and occasionally a Realtor or Contractor. I use a full frame Canon ( 5D MkII and 6D ) with a Canon 16-35mm lens. I use a tripod and shoot at ISO 400-800. I use an opening of f8 and whatever the appropriate shutter speed, thus, the TRIPOD. I shoot at eye level which is what a viewer will see. I've been doing this for 20 years, beginning with FILM. You can check out many of my photos on www.dsilv.com, they're ALL mine.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
Nice work

I dont believe Sigma makes a 10-15 wide angle lens. Perhaps you meant the 10-20?

Much easier to get a proper short zoom that will give you the scope you need. I suspect you have a crop camera, which would make the 17 mm just a tad too long for small rooms. I understand the problem. This was the best I could do with an 18. You need about the range of 13 - 20 with a crop sensor to get inside a small bedroom or bath.
That is an Exellent example of Interior photography !!

What about using a flash or not? I am getting too many shadows with my remote flash.

I have been able to get pretty even lighting by bouncing the flash from my camera mounted speed light off the walls and ceiling behind me (opposite of camera direction)

If you don't have enough coverage, you might be able to put two or more images together in a panoramic picture. (If you use Lightroom and/or photoshop.) This would usually be done best by taking vertical exposures overlapping by about a third, for two or three shots. It is best to make sure your camera is level vertically and horizontally. Much of what we call distortion is the result of the camera being aimed up, down, and/or crookedly off level. My choice for interior photography would be my 12-18.
