Hi,

I am looking to buy my first digital camera and have a budget of
£100-150 but I don't know what to go for. I would like a camera thats
a good allrounder for general use, but also for posting pictures on
EBay (jewellery) etc, so decent macro mode is required. I have a
shortlist of the following and would be most grateful for any opinions
on these or any more suggestions you may have.

Sony cybershot DSC-P73
Fuji Finepix A340
Fuji Finepix A330
Nikon coolpix 3100
Nikon coolpix 3200
Canon powershot A85
Canon powershot A510

Many thanks for your time, Jason

I have been told that the Nikons are very good for macros. I don't own one.

The Fuji F440 and 450 have a good macro.
