Whats the best budget digital camera????

Being able to take good close up shots is important to me.

Go to www.dpreview.com to research different cameras and see features compared and reviews.
Canon, Nikon, Kodak, and Olympus all have nice entry level cameras. What you want to look for is the macro mode. Some will focus closer than others, so just compare the figures. My Canon Powershot G6 takes excellent macro shots. The newer version is the G7, but neither one is a budget camera. I had an Olympus a few years back that had good macro, too.
Good luck!

But, I prefer to use Sony DSC T7. It is really nice.

i like my sony cybershot DSC-W100. its 8.1 mega pixels and its $300.
