As frenchkid suggested, the Nikon Coolpix range is a great camera for all \'general\' use. Mine is the 4100 (or is the 4200? Hrm, now I\'ve forgotten), and in Macro mode, it does a pretty worthwhile job auto-focusing in all the lil details. I bought mine new for about 238$U.S., and I\'ve recently seen ads for them online as low as 219$.

I use a Coolpix (don\'t know which one... a 2.1 Mpixel I think) that I can borrow every now and then. It does a quite OK job even though I don\'thave a proper set up; crap lighting and no diffusion box. I guess that makes the camera pretty good. You can always fix minor photographic flaws in PhotoShop; colour balance, levels and such.

I\'d say get a Nikon Coolpix 2100, 2.1 megapixels, excellent macro features and so on. Check the coolpix line out here: http://nikonimaging.com/global/products/digitalcamera/index.htm

They\'re usually cheap.. around 200-250 bucks I think.

Nikon Macro is great!

My husband and I just purchased a camera. We also wanted one especially for photographing minis and not pay the earth for it. We brought Nikon 3200 coolpix, It is really good and not overpriced at 149.95 sterling. Its one downside is that you really need to buy a rechargable battery for it as it eats batteries at a phenomenal rate. The first real pics we took were of our minis and we were really impressed with the results. We also built a quick and cheap card and paper studio. However if you intend to edit the pics for close up it is easier to use photoshop than the program that comes in the package (although to be honest we havent read how to use the package yet and it is probably just as good):D
