   I won’t suggest a make and model, but you should consider a DSLR and a good macro lens, maybe a ring light too. The lens is really the defining factor here. It’ll cost you, but it will definitely take you to the next level.

   I have the canon XT, and I just turn the kit lens that comes with it backwards and that works GREAT as a macro lens, once you have gotten used to it. Of course, you need a steady hand because you need to hold it up to the camera with your hand. But the XT with the lens is only about $400, and it takes great pictures

   I don’t know if you are refering to DSLR cameras or compact cameras. DSLR’s (Digital Single Lens Reflex) are used by the more serious photographers and the professionals, which are cameras where you have a direct optical view “through-the-lens” of the object that you photograph, and have interchangeable lenses. The compact cameras have normally just a fixed lens, and (usually) a small direct viewfinder and/or a LCD screen to look at the object to be photographed.

   Talking about DSLR’s, there isn’t a specific “good digital camera for macro photography”. In this case, the macro lens being used is crucial for a good macro image. The biggest names in DSLR cameras are Canon and Nikon. They also produce their own macro lenses, especially designed for macro photography. Of course, you can not go wrong with these major manufacturers. If you are considering a lower price, and high quality, you should consider the other big names, like Olympus, Pentax, Sony, etc.

   If you are looking for a compact camera with a very good macro feature, again, take a look at the brands mentioned. Depending on how much macro you want, you should do a research on the many different camera models that exist. There is one site that I can recommend that provides information on many of the cameras available in the market:.
