Camera for close up photos at work

[rodders]

Hi all,

After some help, as I partake in some photography, to my boss I'm automatically an expert now....lol.

We need a new camera in engineering, which will include primarily close up photos of aircraft parts, showing scratches, dents etc... So macro is a must.

Budget £1500, but this needs to include some lighting equipment too.

Looking for advice/ideas on what to go for, bridge, compact, body and lens....?

Any help much appreciated

I doubt they'll go used, but I'll double check.

They have a cheap light box on the other side of the site, with a couple of lamps. Probably get something like that again.
