    I need help! need a good camera

    Hey I'm new here!
    I am looking for a new camera, I have several pet tarantulas and I would like to take some nice clear close ups. Also, I sell stuff on eBay and would like to get a good clear shot of the item... which never happens because my camera sucks. I need something that isn't to expensive tho. maybe around $60-70 .... yeah i know, can't get much for that, but please help me out. Thank you!

    I currently own a Vivitar ViviCam 3915 and....I don't really know how to use it, it takes alright regular pics, but horrible close ups, can anyone tell me if this camera is good for close ups and how to use the zoom properly?

    Thank you.
    :thumbsup:

    I don't know of any "good" cameras in that price range, actually, I don't know of any cameras in that price range other than cell phone cameras, and they are worthless.

    You could probably find a used film camera for that price, but then you have to factor in the cost of film, developing, and scanning. In fact I'll sell you my EOS 650 body for that much, you'd have to find a lens for it though.
