On board macro that's worth it's weight under $500, forget it. They haven't
gotten that cheap yet. Heck, you can't even get macro like that on an SLR for
$300.

I have been impressed with the quality of the photos I've seen from Olympus
Camedia C-Number. They handle flourescent light and low light really well,
and may be a perfect family type camera. If you're looking to get super
detailed shots of things tho, you'll have to increase the budget
unfortunately. Look for refurbs or close outs. I got my CP for $400 as a
walk in at Best Buy because someone brought it back. As well, each time Nikon
releases a new model, prices drop like rocks on old models. Poke around
here:

As you go thru by maker, you can see their ratings and such, and the prices
link into online seller's prices.

I like the quality of your photos, but that's such an expensive camera. Do
you or anyone recommend another digital camera that has high quality photos
and a nice macro feature, but for under $300?
