I picked up a Sony NEX-5n last year for around £500 with two lenses. Would recommend it.

If it is for a website or even for pleasure then always use an SLR.
There is no lens quality comparison at all.
Get a entry level Nikon/Canon SLR and the pics will be great.

Or are you sure???

We bought an entry level DSLR last year for £350 - Pentax kx. Awesome camera and great photos - downside...bulky to carry around. Would recommend though.

If you want decent close up photos, then you need to either have a compact with a decent macro mode, or an SLR where you can get a decent macro lens for it.
And if necessary, get a light box as well to help take better shots.

Yes, the Nikon & Canon entry level models seem like a good bet.
Thanks for the recommendations chaps.

Is there a decent compact camera up to the task? Or would I more likely be requiring an SLR with some special lens for close ups?
Whilst I'm on the subject, as it's for a website, could I purchase said camera through my Ltd?
Ploughs in advance.
