To do close ups your camera has to have a macro mode. Check your manual for the macro mode and you'll see if it can do it.

The best camera for macro in a moderate price range... 4 - 500$ US would be the Nikon Coolpix 950.... IMO...

AH i was reading on a site and my camera has macro mode......BUT I CANT FIND THE MANUAL!!!!!!! Anyone know what the symbol?? If so thanks lol

macro is the little flower

hmmmm those sound like the flashes to me. are you sure it has macro then?

[snakemann87]

Yes I'm sure
Ease-of-Use
The D-380 is easy for anyone to use. It's fully automatic features allow everyone to be a pro the first time they photograph with the camera. Multi-mode flash, auto white balance and digital ESP metering ensure beautiful pictures at the touch of a button. Very fast shutter release times with virtually no shutter lag time also compliment the product. < Close up Macro photography is possible at distances as close as 9.8 inches >

hmmmm not sure then man, youll have to look it up on the net to find what button it is. try scrolling through your menu

I use the Canon Powershot A40 and am quite happy with the pics it takes. I don't even have any of the additional lenses you can get for macro shots. All Canon cameras are the little flower, but I don't know what the other makes are. I paid $499 CDN for mine, and it has gone down in price since then. Its super easy to operate as well. Here are a fwe of my favourite macro shots, ther are more in my gallery.

Yes, you should be able to find it for $200 USD or less. Stores are trying to get rid of their existing inventory as this camera has been replaced by the A70. I don't have experience with the A40 but I do own the A70 and it is the best camera I have ever seen/used in the price range.
