I also just purchased a Brand New Nikon Coolpix 5000 off of ebay for =
$871-. I bought it because of it's Macro abilities. The Coolpix 950, =
990, and 995 also have good Macro abilities but are a little less on the =
megapixel scale. Also, they are much cheaper! Here is a good website =
on camera reviews with user forums:
http://www.dpreview.com/

I am still practicing as I have only had the camera a few days. The =
most difficult thing that I have found is getting enough light on the =
subject as you can put the lens as close as .8 inch from the subject =
which tends to allow the camera to throw shadows. If anyone knows of a =
good lighting retail source for photography please let me know. Here =
are two photos that I just took.

The first is my .5 gram slice of Calcalong Creek:

This photo is a close-up of NWA 482:

So far this is a great little Camera/Computer.

Best Wishes......
