Unfortunately, there is no option for "takes good closeups."

Au contrare, all the good cameras have "macro" features (listed in the
Buyer's Guide).  They tend to be in the more expensive price tier, though
($500 US and up).

Many (usually cheaper) digital cameras cannot focus any closer than
about 2.5-3 feet.

I went through the options and it recommended a whole bunch of
bargain-basement cameras, but I'll bet you $100.00 that none of them
take good closeup shots... a la the Sony Mavica I used on my last post to
my website.

Thanks anyway,

well for me.
