Hey there guys.
I'm a small business owner, and I'm having real trouble presenting my products online, due to a poor quality images. I hired a professional photographer twice so far, but since I'm outputting new lines of products weekly, the expenses for a photo session add up to ridiculous amounts. This is where I've realized it's better for me to buy a decent camera and shoot the products myself.
Now, since I really don't know anything about photography, this is where I need Your help - in choosing the best price/quality option.
My budget is around 300$ for a used equipment (body + lens). Is it even possible to get a decent camera + lens for that price? If so, which brand should I choose?
I've been exploring for a bit, and it seems like Nikon's d3100, 3200, go for around that price used. Are they the direction I should be looking at? And if I buy only the body, which LENS should I go for? (note that my products are baby shoes and clothing, so I'd be shooting them anywhere from few centimeters distance to a meter or so)
I have already purchased lights and made a box for the shooting.
I'd appreciate any answers to my question. And excuse me if my description is vague, it's due to lack of knowledge in this field.
