Can I get in on that bet?
My Kodak DC215 (a fairly cheap camera, obtainable now for under $250) has a
macro mode that lets you focus as close as 8". The regular focus mode (fixed
focus) is no slouch either, working from about half a meter to infinity. My
biggest complaint about this camera is that the Infinity focus is pretty soft,
but since I bought it for snapshots, models and selling on ebay, I have no
complaints.
