I gave up trying to shoot Mars 30 years ago.  Too hard even with a 
Celestron 8.  If I wanted a starter scope today I'd forget the 
photography angle (it's all difficult) and get the largest RFT or near 
RFT you can afford.  A Dobsonian will save money but I don't like 
Newtonian reflectors with non-rotating tubes and most Dobsonians don't 
seem to have rotating tubes.
