Opinions needed on Purchase of new digital camera to photograph tubes.

Posted by wpod on July 17, 2010 at 06:22:24:
Greetings- I need to start "cleaning house", so I need to sell a bunch of tubes on eBay. I'm looking for a low price (under $300.00 or so) digital camera that has good Macro capabities as my current digital(Fuji S5000?) has a hard time getting good pics of the plate structure of a tube. As I am familiar with the workings of a Fuji, I was considering a Fuji-S1800 (under $200.00), but when I read a particular review of this Fuji, they recommended purchasing a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ35 (about $300.00)instead,as it is a far superior camera. Any advise on either of these two cameras or another model that has good Macro?? Thanks for the help. regards, Paul
