What s a good cheap camera with an auto focus (for fashion photography)?

I take pictures of myself for my etsy vintage shop, a lot of the process requires running between the camera and my setup (usually just a blank white wall) and trusting my coolpix L120 to focus on me enough to have a good shot.

The pictures often come out dark, even with a modest lighting setup (cheapish but functional umbrella stands and what not). I try to use a program (picasa) to brighten them up, but then they look grainy.

I know a lot of it is not my cameras fault, but are there any cameras with a good auto focus that pick up light really well? Preferably under $500. And any other tips or tricks would be appreciated!

Thanks:)

Difference between Telephoto Zoom and Macro lense?

So i'm trying to get a DSLR camera for my personal use. Its either a Canon EOS Rebel T5i or Nikon D5300. I know that the lenses that come with it is good for normal pictures and minimal extra uses. But I also want to get another lens that is better for one purpose. I like the idea of telephoto zoom, but I use macro heavily on my current digital camera (Nikon Coolpix L110). I use the camera mostly for zoomed in photos or close objects. I also use it for some portraits and landscapes. Which is better for my usage? And my price range for the lenses is 350 dollars max.

Camera for Nail Art Photography?

So this may sound strange, but I would like to know what type of camera+accessories to buy for taking nail pictures. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix P510 and really need a new one. My Instagram is youvegot_nail. If you look at my photos you can see that the lighting is weird (not my lights though, it's the camera) and the photos are fuzzy and dull. So what should I buy? Please include specifics so I can buy exactly what I need. Keep price below $1,500 unless truly worth going over. Thank you!

Can I use the memory card from a different camera?

I just got a canon 1200d eos camera and I do not yet have a memory card for it. Would it be possible to use a memory card from my Nikon coolpix digital camera (which already has pics on it) for my canon camera? Or would it be a bad idea?
