It doesn't really take a lot of money to get nice pictures. My camera is a point and shoot, but most decent point and shoots have a lot of options so you can take some really nice pictures. My camera is almost 3 years old, it's a Canon PowerShot 790 IS. I think it was $250 back then, so today you could buy a much nicer camera for that price.
I use melamine as the floor, and white poster board as the background. I can adjust the brightness of the flash on my camera so that helps a lot. Once I get the pictures taken I adjust the lighting a bit with a photo editor and erase any imperfections on the floor and the line where the melamine meets the poster board if necessary.
If you want tongue pics you need to have it on the fast setting, usually sports or kids and pets. (this picture was also on macro-notice the close up is clear and the background is fuzzy)
And for close ups you want the macro shot, on many cameras it's the 'flower' setting. This will make the close up clear and the background blurry. You can pretend you have a super nice camera this way(you can see the line were the melamine meets the poster board in this pic, I didn't do any editing to this pic)
