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

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,
