<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 100266, member: 4552"]Sounds like your not into cameras much so for instance what has been said is that you need a camera with a Macro feature. Macro is a term sort of like Microscopic. In other words you can move the camera very close to the subject for closeup photos. Some cameras have that feature, some have a double Macro system like my Fuji, some require you to add a closeup filter lens to the front of your camera. I suggest you check if any camera you buy has a filter ring for future additional filters or lenses. If you do try and remeber that there are some really common filter ring sizes like 49,52 and 55mm. Your best bet is to try out some photo type web sites and read what they say is the abilities of that camera. You can also learn alot by checking out the B&H web site. One of the largest photo organiztions around. It's <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" rel="nofollow">www.bhphotovideo.com</a>. Check out any camera stores in your area and just make a pest of yourself and ask questions about closeup abilities. I like my Fuji S7000 for most of my closeups. I've tried my Olympus D-320L and it stinks. Also, tried my Sony Mavica MVD-7 and -88 but also not to good at closeups. I've also got Canon A-1, AE-1 and AE-1 Program, a few Ricohs, several Pentexes, Hasselblad and a few others but all those are film cameras and hardly ever use them anymore. Although the Yashica with Vivitar +1,+2,+3 filters has turned up some really great closeups.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
