Hi Chris,

I just got a Canon Powershot A95.
It´s a 5.1 megapixel camera with nice macro and enough size to print A3 sized pictures.

Also Canon´s A75 and A85 are nice, pretty similar to A95 but in 3 and 4 megapix range. Good value for the money all of them!

Check out: Steve´s digicams
You´ll find plenty of information there. Also sample pics.
I can post some samples here too when I get home.

Cheers,
Toni

Here´s a pic.
I took it with the best possible settings. You can see the whole picture in upper right corner, the detail is cropped from the original picture.
You can go all the way as near as 5 cm from the target. And even nearer if you get special macro optics for the camera. I took this photo using just a table lamp, so the Canon A95 does pretty good job with white balance as well..
The sniper figure is 1:35 by the way...



Cheers,
Toni

Toni,



Looks like it's not just the camera thats doing a pretty good job..

I use the Fuji S5000, brilliant camera, macro allows you to get within 3cm of the subject. It also has a 10x optical zoom, which is about 380 in old lens terms. You can also change the pixels between 1 to 3 MP, handy when shooting for downloading. For those into serious photography, it also shoots in RAW format.

Cheers
Henk

Go Minolta Dimage! :-)

My Dimage Z10 has a macro that lets you get 1cm from the object.

I also use Fuji's S5000 digital camera and recommend it highly.
