    Camera for closeups!

    Hello there, this is my 1st post on this forum! I am here because I find myself into the world of digital photography.

    I'll explain. Until today I've never owned a camera. I now need one cos I run a small electrical business and wish to make an online website so I need to take close ups of electrical items. I went and bought a £90 Acer CE-5330. Its really poor and is going back 1st thing tomorrow morning.

    I've managed to work out the MACRO function and have been happy taking closeups however 1 in 10 is a good one. They tend to go blury and out of focus. I shall only be using the digital cam for close up shots of still life and would like the house recommendations on what to get.

    Thanks so much everyone!

    Re: Camera for closeups!

    Well in the end I settled for a Canon EOS 350D. Found a fantastic price thanks to a certain someone! She knows who she is! Should have it in my hands sometime this week. I decided to buy the kit version in black and a 1 gig CFII card to go with it. I'm currently on the prowl for a bag to carry it about as I run my errands. I did see a lone macro lens on flea bay:

    Seems great for close-ups for a silly price? Should I?? Pros/cons??

    Thanks
