Looking for Point and Click with Best Macro

[mrephunk]

I am looking to buy a non DSLR with the best macro qualities. I Have looked at plenty of review sites but non get to the point of which has the best macro features. What do you guys think?

Most Canon Powershots are great little cameras with good lenses and a macro setting that is good for taking pics of minis. I personally use a 7 year old Powershot A40 for my pics.

nikon do a nice range in macro lense if thats the road you want to follow

Nikon huh? Not a DSLR tho, Right?

it might be handy to look for a lense rather than a camera if you have the dosh. also non digital might be hard to come by now

Well I want a digital camera just not an SLR. I dont want to be changing lenses and all that. I just want to have an easy to use camera with a really good macro. I have alot of painted minis but never had a camera so never posted any online. Now I want to show them off.

i thought it was a non digital you wanted (thought it was a strange request in this dat n age), i use my samsung tocco ultra camera phone its 8 mega pixels plus it has a macro for up close and you get the photo suite disc, hope this helped, good luck with your shopping.

I'm in the market for a point-n-click too. I've been told, on several occasions, that Canon makes one of the best out there. Canon is actually a camera company, so making a quality camera is what they do best. I was contemplating a Sony but after doing a little research I realized that the comparable Canon model is a better bang for your buck.

Macro is just a close focusing function. With any camera produced in the last few years, you can take a good mini pic at 18" and crop to the right size. I personally like Sony and Canon (in that order) for P&S cameras.
