Hi

I use an Agfa ePhoto 1280, which is a bit dated now and has been
discontinued, so it has been heavily reduced in price, so if you want one
you should be able to find it within your price range at discount stores. It
has many 'professional' features and I don't think you'll find many better
cameras within the price range. It has a good macro mode, a 3x optical zoom
and a threaded bezel so you can attach closeup / magnifier lenses to it
also.

You can see a few of the Lego pictures I've taken with it at

Hi Everyone,

I am posting to these various topics because I have seen many
examples of digital photos and I wanted to know what kinds of digital
cameras you all use and/or recommend. I am interested in buying a
camera sometime in the near future, so I'm doing research. Since I plan
to take lots of pics of my LEGO creations, I thought this would be a good
place to ask.  :^)

My main concern is the ability of the camera to take close-ups. Many
digicams can't focus any closer than about 3 feet away, which obviously
isn't good enough for LEGO photos.

I'd really prefer not to go above $250-300 for the camera. I also want to
get one that has USB connection or a Flash Card.

Thanks for your suggestions.

~Mark
