Cameras again...what's for me?
We got the dreaded phone call today...the $1500 Sony was dearly departed.
 Not wanting to spend a huge amount right now on a camera, we would like to get something in the $300-$400 range that has macro capabilities and a rechargeable battery. We are looking at the Nikon Coolpix 5100. Any comments?

Can't help you much in brands or cameras now Emily, I have been out of the reading loop to long on them, but if you can get one that has a viewfinder you can swivel to different angles it is awsome for top down pics like Jamie does. I think the cool pics do that but not sure.

**EDIT** Sorry no rechargables, but then again you can buy a set of rechargable AA's, works just as well.

Two thumbs up for the coolpix. I've had the earlier model now for ~5 years. The newer model is basically the same, with a few improvements.

56K Warning
No Problem. I was worried about the quality of macro shots until i actually took some. Its and awesome little camera. Since macro function seem to be the test on all digi's:
   Just to show you how macro these actually are:  The only thing i did was crop the full sized photo. A motion shot:  And My Baby Pather attacking poor Lilly:  [/list]
