I need a digital camera

[Nymph]

I have an older Panasonic I got back in 2000. It does take decent pics, but I need to do extreme closeups, and it just doesn't have the zoom ability that I need for this project.

Keep in mind I'm really techno moron when it comes to this type of thing, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance

Zoom or Macro?

We got a fujifilm finepix s7000 a couple of years back. Best macro and supermacro we could find for doing pics of the jewelry.

Did I mention I'm a tech moron?

What is macro and super macro?

Maybe I should explain my main purpose for the closeups...nothing to do with porn here, but I set out some hummer feeders, and I want to get some good shots feeding & in flight for a little income earning play site in mainstream.

For that you need zoom.

Macro is for a closeup shot when you can bring the camera real close in, so about 6 inches away from the object. Super macro lets you put the camera even closer and inch to an inch away.

Sounds like you need to setup a camera some distance away and still get close in.

Best option (imho of course) would be a digital slr with a zoom lens.

OMG talk about a major blonde moment...

I forgot I bought my hubby a digital this past Christmas Fugifilm finepix s5700 it has 10x zoom, so I will try that one first, and if it's not closeup enough, I'll start looking for something better.

Gonzo, I need a smiley with blonde hair...I seem to be having these moments more frequently.

Sare, thanks for your advice, and jogging my memory
