No worries, I think someone else on these forums is also using my crested pic as a desktop.  That's my male crested Dragonbait, btw.
The camera (Coolpix <b>950</b> actually, don't know what i was thinking before *L*) cost me about $600 Canadian last year from... Henry's, I think. Honestly can't remember off the top of my head, but I got it shipped to me from Ontario. Anyway, I imagine a 950 would cost you a lot less now... however, it was discontinued even before I got one, and they're not extremely easy to find. There's usually a few on ebay though, (like, right now there's 1 for $150 USD, and 1 for $229 USD). It's a great camera for a great price - especially if you want to take good macros in a point-and-shoot kinda way. If you're really interested, you should check out the review at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikoncp950/
Two 'downsides' are you MUST get rechargable NiMH batteries for this camera - it will suck normal batteries dry faster than a vampire in a B movie, and you pretty much have to get a flash card reader - the camera does not have a usb connection on it, and the serial connection is <i>slow</i>.... if you have a flash card with 60 or more pics on it, you're literally going to be waiting a day or two to get all your pics off with the serial cable.

I use a c-4000 and it does awesome macro pics. Got to work on the lighting but it works very well. As for the c-5050 I also use, well you better not breathe when you take the pic or else it turns out blurry. Better put it on a tripod.

I use a Sony TRV740 Handycam, it doesn't have a macro mode, but I've been able to take some pretty nice shots with it.

I use the Canon A70. It is a great camera with numerous auto features as well as manual. The macro function is great, I have yet to push it to it's limits but here are a few quick shots.
Cheers,

I shoot fashion photography for a living so I can splurge a bit lol. My current digital setup cost about 5000 bucks...15,000-20,000 if you include lighting and studio stuff. Anyway, I use a Nikon D100 for most everything. It uses all the same lenses that my 35mm nikons use so it's very versitile. I can shoot anything from a bug's eyeballs to craters on the moon. However...the lenses are too large for easily shooting through a microscope without investing in even more gear so I strap a tube onto my old sony mavica and set the focus to infinity for shooting microscopic shots.
This is what a mite looks like under the microscope in case you guys haven't peeked. Looks a lot like a tick huh? cept it's the size of a pin head.
