DEFINATELY get a macro lens camera. Your lego shots will be much better.
I use one for all my Lego on eBay etc and believe me it makes a difference.

I'm restricted pretty much to Canon, Fuji, Kodak, HP (618 & 715xi):) .

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! :^)

I wasn't paying attention, what's the difference between macro and • zoom?

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

Hope this helps.
