Looking for a camera for close up shots

Hi,

I'm looking for a cheap camera that takes sharp macros. How close? 3-5 inches.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

This is not for professional use.

whe nyou say cheap? how cheap?

I'm not paying for it, my company is. But i'm going to assume the budget won't stretch much further than £200. This is just amateur stuff, not looking for ultra high quality photos.

Something like a fuji finepix s9600 has a macro and super macro mode that will allow you to get right up close to your subject and retain a resonable depth of field. Cost is around £200 I think. Look out for bridge cameras with macro mode, this is probably your best bet without going down the SLR + macro lens route.

my thoughts exactly! they can focus upto 2cm away! iirc
