I need a digital camera that takes very CLEAR pictures. Here's what it'll be used for:

1. Taking pictures of labels up close with small text/barcodes.
2. Taking pictures of pallets of boxes (1 pallet at a time) with labels on those boxes. We will need some of the larger text on those labels to be readable.

Because of need #2, I want a high-megapixel camera... I'm thinking at least 8MP, but open to suggestions. I also (and this is priority) need the camera to take very clear pictures up close, so that everything on a 6"x4" or 4"x2" label would appear clearly when that is all that is in the picture.

Currently we are using an Olympus D-380 camera, which is quite old and just not working the way we need it to.

One final note is that this camera will not be used by me, so it needs to be idiot-proof.

I'm looking to spend $100-$200. Suggestions? :thumbsup:
