  OK, there's a photography/camera ward in the "MY ASYLUM" area on the home page. You may want to post your question there for more expert advice.

  I'd say any camera at about 3 megapixels will be fine for what you're doing. You'll need a tripod. I find it very hard to hold my hand steady enough to take clear close-up pictures with my digital camera.

  Optical zoom lenses are better than the digital zoom. Try typing in "Digital Camera Review" in google and see what turns up. That should be good for a number of days of casual research.

  Here's just one example. I have the Canon S50 which is a 5 MP camera. Probably overkill for my needs but the camera is really nice.

  I recall reading that Nikon is considered top-notch for close-up work. You might want to check out the camera reviews at www.dpreview.com. It's a great digital photography site.

    I just use a small, 2.0 megapixel Nikon, and like the pics - for close up work, it has a nice Macro setting, really decent for the $$.

      Yeah, me too. I'm using a Coolpix 8700, which I really like. I had a Nikon D70 digital SLR on order at my local camera shop, but decided at the last minute that the 8700 was better for my needs.
