I use a Fuji F480, 8.2
Megapixel digital camera. I am also a novice to plants and wildlife and photography
but my fiance helps me a lot.
The best feature about this camera is in its large view screen and I don't
have to wear my glasses to see it. The camera may not be the best camera in
the world for macro shots but it does focus down to 4cm from the lens and
it gives reasonable results once you get use to its querky Auto Focus which
isn't always reliable.
