Seriously though Jon, when you do go shopping for a camera, you won't regret going high-end. A lot of cameras boast macro settings, but unless it's in the neighbourhood of 1" - 2", you probably won't be satisfied with it. I tried to save a little cash by buying a lower mid-range Pentax but it had neither the control over depth of field, or the macro capabilities that are needed for good model photos. I returned it and got the Olympus Ultra Zoom. It ended up costing me over a $1200 Cdn. what with accessories and sales tax but worth every penny!
BTW, thanks everyone, for all the compliments. You folks are making my day!
cheers
