Cheap good macro camera
Klauttu
11-06-2010
I photograph a lot of jewellery items, Can anyone kindly recommend digital camera with an above average macro? I really don't want to spend more than (don't laugh) £100 new. Am I looking for the impossible?

I use a Canon A560, which despite looking at reviews before purchase, turned out to be a load of crap when taking macro pix. My Olympus C350 knocks spots off it, but still ain't very good.

Cheers

A quick flick through a fairly recent issue of What Digital Camera seems to indicate that Nikon's compacts usually have pretty decent macro abilities. I have a Coolpix 4600 which is an old model now, probably about five years old and it's relegated to back-up duties for when I don't have space or energy for lugging my SLR around and it does turn out some pretty decent close-ups I have to say.
