Olymous Camedia c3020- or powershot?

[jeff]

I have been trying to get a camera that will take good pictures but nothing over 180, I have an older camedia that I like, but Im not sure which new ones are good, i found a 3.2 megapixile one used that is brand new looking and only 140. Its a longshot, but if anyone could tell me if they htink this is better then a 3.2 mp canon powershot that would be great. thanks.

If you're taking newt photographs, you want something with a decent close-up/macro facility. Most non-SLR digital cameras list their closest focus distance on their specs. If you can get one with under 10 cm focusing distance you'll be well set (under 5 is pretty damn good).
