What camera do you have?

[Snappy]

I think as long as the P&S camera has a macro setting and a minimum of 8 MP you can get reasonable results.

I have had a few Canon S series P&S cameras and they seem to hugely exceed other similarly priced P&S cameras. I started off about 4 years ago with their lowest model the S100. It was great, but it was stolen. I now have a Canon IXY DIGITAL 55, which is the Japanese version of the S400. I bought it used off a Japanese guy for $200.

All the photos that you ever see me post are taken with this camera.

I have just purchased the Canon G9 and the quality of the pictures is astounding. It does take some time to get good close ups thought. I have been fooling around trying different setting and these are few of the shots.

I use a Canon S3 IS - a 6MP non-SLR point and shoot . The 5S IS replaced this the S3 IS this year and is an 8MP camera. I have nothing but great things to say about the S3 given it's price point. I hear the 5S IS just as good.

I've got the same one, I love it. It takes great macro shots.

My husband and I have two Nikon D200's (that way we don't have to fight over sharing LOL!!! ) and we are very pleased with them.

I have the Sony A 100 DSLR. Probably a great camera for someone who knows how to get the most out of it. Too bad I'm not that somone.

The one I'm interested in is the Olympus 1030SW. No personal experience with it, but it looks amazing. 10MP, compact, solid, waterproof to 33ft (stick it right in your tank or take it snorkelling), 28mm equivalent macro. $400 at Future Shop, which also has a lower model of Olympus waterproof for $300. Very nice if you can afford it. Anyone have experience with these?

Snappy, thanks for the reminder. I forgot my camera had a macro setting!

I have a Pentax OptioW10. It is a waterproof camera and I love it! Very durable and easy too use the macro feature is decent. All in all not a bad camera, take a look at the W7 as well.
