Good camera for macro photography.

[hoax]

I bought a Nikon D40. Out of the box with the kit lens, it does decent macro shots. I'd recommend springing for a DSLR, if you're really itching for a macro lens, you could try and find a used body, and then drop your $$$ on a macro lens.

I completely agree!!!! Can not go wrong with Nikon (just my opinion).
I got a D60 and I love it I have not bought any new lenses for it yet but the lenses that comes with the kit is a great beginner camera and I is super easy to use. I am still learning new things every time I get to talking about photography! The hardest part for me is setting the white balance and using aperture for your benefit. The Nikon D40 is a great camera if you are not sure if you really want to do photography, but if your serious then I would spring for the D60.

you dont necessarily need a dslr to get decent macro shots. any camera that will allow lens attachments will work. i have a kodak z730 with macro lenses that takes decent macro shots. only get a dslr if you are serious about getting into photagraphy. you can still take crappy shots with an expensive camera.

This is an excellent point. The main reason I like the Digital SLR is because you get instant feed back and can adjust your pictures it is a great learning tool. just my .02.



The Nikon D60 is the way I would go but that is just my opinion you should get what fits your needs best.
