close up pix

[Vern]

I have a Kodak DC3200. It does not take closeup pix very well at all. What should I look for in a new camera for taking closeups?

Cameras that are good at closeups usually have a MACRO setting on them which usually looks like a little flower. On cameras with a built in lens you cannot use the zoom during close up shots, what you do is find the closest point that the fixed lens can focus at while is zoomed completely in and that should be your best closeup possible. If you're willing to buy a DSLR then you have tons of options, Macro Lenses, telephoto lenses, close-up filters, etc and you can zoom in pretty darn close for some amazing pictures.
