Macro. :) I'd agree -- this is an important feature. It's also good to get a
model that can take good shots in low light without the flash, because lego

If it's for online stuff, resolution isn't the most important factor,
although certainly don't go less than 1024x768. Even if your final output
will be less than that, it's nice to have some room to play.

I'd recommend getting a camera that uses compact flash, and a PCMCIA reader
for your desktop machine (~ $50). Then, uploading to your PC takes seconds.
