Digital cameras

[pastel]

I need a new digital camera (my Nikon CoolPix 880 just died)...and I need one that takes marvelous macros. I would like a zoom/macro lens on it, and hold at least 4 or 5 MB. Anyone have some suggestions which camera may be best? It would be nice if the camera were a lot faster than the old Nikon was.

Oh thanks...and I don't need another Nikon necessarily.

My Canon Powershot S60 takes really good macros. The "G" series is also good. I don't know about how it compares to other manufacturers, but in my opinion it's given some excellent results so far.

I've got my eye on the Nikon D70 for the upgrade from my Coolpix 5700. It's fast (VERY fast compared to anything near it's price range) and it's a true SLR so you'll be able to find good macro lenses for a great price!

As always, http://www.dpreview.com is a wonderful place to compare digital cameras by features and price etc... I keep recommending that place (I don't work there I promise!) but it's truly the best laid out to do any real comparison between current digital cameras. Other sites may have additional or more opinionated reviews, but the feature search at dpreview is unsurpassed.

I have a canon A70 and well it really like it but i should have waited to get an A80 when the new A75 and A85 came out...i could have got a better deal. My good friend just goit a Nikon Coolpix 5200 and its is a sweet little camera...but a lot less of a camera than what your after. i guess what im saying is Nikon is what you want for Macro. from my experience anyway.

Thanks for all the advice.

I just got a Nikon CoolPix 8700, and it was a really great deal. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it!
