Which digi cameera would you reccomend? does anyone have an Olympus MJU 740 and is it any good?

i wont to buy a digital camera for general purpose but would also like to be able to take pictures of things quite close up, any sugestions ?

Got a Canon Ixus 60 brought on Amazon, it is wicked!

the 740 has a UZ prefix, meaning ultra zoom from 38mm to 380mm it also does good macro..with manual overrides on everything

the MJU 700 is a point and shoot special...

buy the Uz750 its 4mp and does sound / movies 60 quid on ebay

well, for a camera you need a good make and Olympas is very good, but one thing about most olympas Compact cameras (normal digital cameras) is that the zoom is not up to much. because you want to take photographs of thing close up ie- pets, flowers etc i would recomend you get the panasonic Lumix. there is an advert on the tele for it now and it has an outstanding zoom that also takes wide angle shots (this can fit a lot into your picture) and its small and pocket size and very reliable asi it is panasonic. remember these days dont buy a camera under 5 megapixles.
i hope this helps you and have fun and good luck.
