    Macro camera 3.2 meg

    I need to find a camera to do close-up shots at 4-6 inches. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, and a 3.2 camera will work just fine because I'm only doing snapshots. Was hoping I could get an "outdated" camera that someone didn't want any more because they were upgrading.

    In fact, perhaps someone has such a camera that they'd like to sell.

    Thanks.

    We can't really have people posting wanted ads here, but in the interest of answering a good question:

    I used to have a Minolta DiMage 7i 5mp digi. It came out in 2001, and there have been several versions since. I am sure you could get one of these at a very good price, and they shoot macro at wide and tele ranges. Here is a smaple of a pic I took with my 7i.

    These were all shot in the tele macro mode within inches of the subject.






    No more wanted ad guys
