Macro Camera?

[Fire Fighter 43]

I'm in the market for a new camera specifically for taking close-up photos of my finds. I would like to know what brand and model camera you are using and could post an example of a close-up taken with your camera.
Santa is giving me a new table top studio for Christmas and I would like a decent camera to go with it.

I use the Canon Power Shot ELPH 300 HS. It's a decent macro camera and it's tuff to beat for the price. I paid under $200

I use the Canon Power Shot ELPH 300 HS.
Yeah. :yes: Thats what I use too. A Cannon Power Shot. Mine is the A3000IS. But they make a new one every couple of months and you gotta get whats the newest thing out it seems like. Unless you buy a used one somewhere. But they're all pretty much the same thing. :yes: lol I lost a Cannon Power Shot 1000 something 8/ lol And when I bought this one there was no learning curve involved. \:hammer: The same thing with a different model number on it. :rolleyes:
But yeah, they work pretty well! :yes: lol
Heres a couple of the smallest marks on a piece of jewelry I've ever seen.
On the clasp of a goldfilled bracelet I found. Marked 1-20 12K

I have used 3 Canon PowerShots and now I own a Canon Vixia HF R30 HD CamCorder. It takes videos and pictures with the same camcorder. The only problem I had with it is it comes with a 15 min battery and that is not long enough. I bought the larger capacity battery and now last for 125 min. Got a new more expensive tripod and it works grate. 51x Zoom

I will just add that I have had TERRIBLE luck with Nikon Coolpix cameras. I have owned two of them, and both of them gave me a Lens Error when they were still practically brand new. It seems that this is a very common problem with the Nikon Coolpix cameras.

Never again! :hairpulling:

I went with the Canon Power Shot A 4000 IS. Mainly because of its macro capabilities. You can get as close as .4 inches from your subject and it will still focus. It is on sale at most places until the beginning of Jan for $99 normally $179. Her is a link to Canons site. Once I get a chance to play with it Ill post a couple of pictures.

I have the Power shot A1200. It's not too bad with close ups and it was cheap!

[Schrecky]

I've got a Nikon Coolpix L610. It takes incredible close up shots. This ring has very small print on it.
