<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 526961, member: 4552"]I suggest you do the following:</p><p>Go to Radio Shack, Best Buy, Kmart, Walmart, Sears, etc. Ask the people at each which they think of is the best for closeup photography. Almost none of them will really know. They are just usually hired of the streets. However, you may just accidently find someone that knows what they are talking about. I don't know where you live but around the Chicago area there are massive electronic stores such as one called Frys or ABT. Many, many others as well. </p><p>Make a list of the ones that are mentioned the most, right down the prices. </p><p>Note the return policies on places like ebay, amazon, etc. At any decent store no matter what you can always return almost any product, no postage, no restocking fees, not insurances, etc. </p><p>Remember asking which anything you should buy will usually get people telling you what they have. For all you know they have no idea of what you need or want and may also not really have that camera. </p><p>I presently have 5 digital cameras. And here is my thoghts on them.</p><p>DXG 5 Meg camera is about the same as a kids toy. Should be selling for about $25 and at that overpriced</p><p>Sony Mavica 88 is outdated but a great camera for tuffness. Used to cost a lot buy now worth about $10. </p><p>Cannon S410 is fun since it makes noises when you turn it on and take pictures. Lousy close ups. Kids like the noises it makes. Sells for about $100</p><p>Samsung L73 is a great camera if I ever can figure out how not to press the wrong things. Purchased for $75. </p><p>Fuji S7000 if my favorite. Up to 12 Megapixels, has a XD and Compact flash card and at the same time. Two different Micro settings. Used to be a $250 camera. </p><p>Now looking for a Fuji S9000. Should be about $200 hopefully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
