Hi there, i need some recommendations on choosing a compact camera. Budget wise about 300-400?
Need the camera to be quite good in macro field area.

Cheers

take note that even the cheapest powershot is cool, so i guess powershot (anyone) will work(kind of cheap), Ixus falls in your budget too, Sony t-20, even fujiflim isn't that bad. Just don't buy a Panasonic Lumix!
