i have a cannon a95, which retails about 275 us. its a good camera, 5 mega pixels, it makes exellent 8x10s, rates high as far as a point and shoot goes, however, for macro shots, on things the size of a quarter [hatchling crested geckos] i hate dealing with an auto focus. so, im looking to upgrade to the cannon digital rebel xt with a 50mm macro lense, which retails... for much more, and totally out of my price range. the a95, you can play with alot of the options, and it has a fair ammount of "manual" settings, but on moving very small objects, it just falls short for my needs. however, i have taken alot of good pictures with it.
