Annette,

    I would certainly go with a Nikon if you can afford one - their
    optics are about the best on the market at the moment and the
    quality of the lens is more important than any other aspect of the
    camera. I use a Nikon Coolpix 5700 which, although a little larger
    than most of the digital cameras, has excellent macro capabilities
    and allows me to take pinsharp pictures of tiny watch parts without
    needing extra lenses etc. You can also preset various scenarios such
    as 'outdoor general photos', indoor macro shots using artificial
    lighting' etc. which makes using it a lot easier. My advice would be
    to do as I did - look at the available cameras on the web, choose
    one or two that seem to give the features you are looking for, go to
    a local specialist camera shop and try them out (preferably finding
    an assistant who has a vague idea of what they are talking about)
    and then buy from the best source on the internet. You can get some
    good deals from sellers in tax havens like Jersey (the island that
    is not the city) or direct from the far east... 

Best Wishes
