Choosing Camera & Lens Question
Hi , guys im new to this world, but eager to learn.
I am looking for a new camera and a lens for close up / action shot .
what bundle do you guys reccomend and for a decent price.
i am looking for something that will take good close up pictures for our family owned business. We hired someone and we said we might as
well buy a camera and learn and do it ourselves and save the money.
Hope to hear from you guys!

Been spending a lot of time on here!
Close up to what? And what kind of action? You can get surprisingly good close up's from P&S cameras.

What do you intend on shooting exactly?
And what's a decent price?
If you hired someone to do product photography they likely have as much invested in lighting as they do camera equipment.
60d, Tokina 11-16 2.8, Canon 24 1.4L II, Zeiss 35 1.4 Distagon, Zeiss 50 2.0 Makro-Planar, Canon 85 1.8, Yashica DX 135 2.8, flashy stuff, filtery stuff

The most important thing for the business pix will be a good tripod. The kit lens with any digital SLR will do the job for you.
Avoid using the built in flash; that is for emergency use only. 
As for the sports shots, you'll want a telephoto zoom lens.
