Digital cameras

Diana,
take a look at the Canon PowerShot series. I have the A40, with 2M pixels
and find it great for in the garden. Sure, it could do closer close-ups,
etc., but the bees knees are not my subject, usually!

Hi Jim:
Many thanks for the advice. I am NOT experienced with photography, and I
am
not likely to get interested. I just want photographs of my plants, so I
absolutely don't want the high-end cameras. I did have a Koolpix 4000 for
a
short while, and found it quite terrifying. I really want something easy
to
use. Taking pictures of pollen grans or the hairs on a bee's leg isn't
what
I want, but I do want to get within two to three inches and get a good
picture. For me, I need something that is not bulky, easy to understand
and
easy to use otherwise I won't use it. When I was young I bought a good
camera to take on multi-day rock climbs to get photographs of the
spectacular settings, I took it twice and it stayed in the haul bag almost
all of the time. I never used it again.
Best.
Diana
