A Sony DSC-S90 Cyber-Shot with 4.1 Mpxls can get you images like this if you take the time to learn how.

This was taken with a camera that costs close to $100 brand new. The pictures are also much bigger-- I just sized this down.

It's more about skill and technique than the actual camera... true a higher quality camera is nice, but if you don't have the technique and skills to be able to take good pictures, it won't do you much, while if you have the techniques you can take good pictures even with a crappier camera...

With that being said, I prefer the Nikon Coolpix series of cameras...

I have a Nikon Coolpix 4100. I got it for < $100 on Ebay. Here's a sample picture:



It's an excellent camera for the money, once you learn how to use it (e.g., setting the white balance).

I love my Olympus C-700 w/auto zoom.

I use an old 3 Mpix. Kodak



a lot has to do with lighting...more has to do with technique...just a little depends on the camera

although macro (or a similiar lens) is necessary.
