Not necessarily. Here's a Nikon you can afford:

I recommend it because it has a 1.6 inch focus range (i.e. you can get
within 1.6 inches of the subject and retain focus) Good for photo'ing
LEGO! :^)

Macro lets you focus when your camera is close to the subject. Zoom lets
you "zoom in" on things that are far away.
