i want to buy a camera that can take awesome macro shot. don't know if digital cameras are best. also wouldn't mind if i can slao take nice zoom pics (far picks). Recommendations please. my priority is nice macro shots.
I could probably get you a hook with my brother. He works for olympus.
Check out the Evolt E330 and Evolt E500. Let me know if you are interested and I'll get you prices.
I have the E300 and I like it alot.
If you're not going to get really into photography, I'd say not to get the digital rebel. It's a really nice camera, and i's cheap, but to get a good lens you're going to need to sink some cash.
There are a bunch of cameras that are half of what the Rebel costs. Most of the Nikon point and shoots have decent macro lenses.
If you're looking for some info, www.dpreview.com is a good place to start.
