Subject: Digital cameras


I'm interested in making the plunge and getting a digital camera this year
and could use some recommendations from those in the know or with
experience.  Are there cameras out there that would take good macro plant
pictures in the $300-$500 range?  Any information or advice would be most
appreciated.

thanks,
Rick Speer
