I have to decided to move up from my 10 dollar, after rebates, digital
camera. I am thinking about a Cannon or a Nikon. Close ups are important to
me. I like to take pictures of parts, in the field, for later reference,
and or explanations. I understand the difference between Optical Zoom and
digital zoom. But how can I tell, in the specifications, if digital cameras
support close ups like a SLR micro lens will do.

I see a Cannon Powershot S1 IS on sale, I am guessing this must becoming a
older model. But I likes the looks of it and  It does have 10X optical zoom
and 3.2 Megapixals. Will 3.2 be enough to print out good quality 10X8
prints. I understand that Megapixals is more information which makes for
better prints for average use .... so do I need more then 3.2 MegaPixals.

Thanks!
