What experiences do anyone have with digital cameras, taking "close-up" shots? I had a friend take close-up shots of serial number plates and casting numbers for me. Very good pics. I could see a use for this, in perhaps, carb assembly or other tight work, as well as serial number plate pics. Any cheaper camera recommedations? His was an Olympus, about $250. Thanks in advance.

I purchased a Kodak DZ-3700 (think that's the one) a few weeks ago. Cost me $170. It macro's in until you're touching the lens, if you want to do that. It's also got a pretty high resolution, so it takes darn good full sized pictures as well.

Very little in the way of bells and whistles, which keeps the price down. I've been well pleased by the unit.

Mark, I've seen some closeup shots of coins that looked good. Several people said they used one of those jeweler type loupes(sp?) in front of the lense on the camera.

Most decent digital cameras will have a "macro" (not micro) mode for taking closeups. How close you can get varies from camera to camera. It might be 8 inches on one camera and 22 inches on another. Decide what you're going to be photographing and then select a camera that will get you close enough. For focusing closeup you will usually need to use the digital screen to frame the picture, instead of looking through the viewfinder. You may also need a tripod to hold the camera steady for closeups. I suggest you go to a camera shop and actually try out the macro mode. Take something with you of the size you need to photograph, or measure something so you can do some comparisons with the cameras. You can get a good digital camera with nice basic features for $250. Unless you're going to do a lot of serious printing of the pictures, you don't need the high "gigapixel" models. Check out the link below for everything you ever need to know about digital cameras. Especially look at the glossary of terms. Then you can compare just about every camera on the market by price, features. Good luck.
