If you want to get really close up shots, you'll want to get a camera with a good macro feature. Also you'll want the maximum optical zoom you can get. Digital zoom is pretty much useless, all it really does is crop the photo down in size which you can do with almost any photo editing program. That is the other important purchase with a digital camera. Usually the software that comes with a camera is minimalist at best. You will want to get a better one if you really want to make the most of your photos. Also, don't get too hung up on the pixel rating. there are many ways too calculate the total pixel count of the camera. Some cameras are better than others with a higher pixel count. Ask to see some photos taken with the camera set at its maximum resolution, and then compare what you see. You can also look for some ratings of various cameras online. www.pcworld.com is one site that has some good information on digital cameras and photography.
