I`m after some advice on which camera to buy.

We currently use a Sony Nex 5 with an 16mm lens.

The photographs we take are usually in-door, at 1m to 3m from the subject with reasonably poor light.

Budget £750 (ish).

I hate to say it but a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge takes damn good photos in poor light.
Although maybe buy a cheap light with a softbox to improve the overall quality of your photos?

Funnily enough, I`ve started using my iPhone 7+ to take photos recently, since apple stopped allowing multiple photos to be selected at once, it`s a pain grabbing them from iCloud

The photos have to be reduced in size to upload anyway.

I thought you wanted to sell one!

Spend some of the budget on lighting, eg two softboxes. For your purposes a £750 camera won't take any better photos than a £350 one.
