    Want a new camera!
    Well, it's time....i've got an olympus camedia 3.2, and it works for regular pictures, but I just cant get good close ups! They come out all fuzzy, and it's super frustrating!

    I need something better, especially since I want to make a website and get some good pictures of all my babies up there. Any suggestions? Thanks all

    do you have any specific budget in mind and/or how professional are you looking to get with your photography?

    I would just like the ability to get some close-ups without the fogginess of my 3.2. The pictures would be to show customers the specific animals I would be selling, as well as photo identification genetic paperwork. Options like panarama would probably something I dont need.

    I could probably toss 300 maybe more into it depending. i am also an ebay freak, and could probably get something quite decent there for less. The price would probably be the last thing I would look at.

    I use a Canon PowerShot A510 that cost me $200. I think now they sell the Powershot A610 for that price which is 2 more megapixels than the one I have. Mine has 3.2. Here's some picture's I've taken with it...

    Unfortunately the camera focused on the fake plant, but you get the idea...

    I haven't been able to photograph my snake much. So here is a model I built for my architecture history class...

    I am sure this is one of the best cameras you can buy for $200.

    I have an Olympus 3.2, and I don't have that much trouble with it. I have issues with lighting and background, but otherwise it take pretty good pics.
