looking for a 1mp-4mp digital camera for good close up shots.. mostly for
ebay pictures etc.

used is good.... maybe even something off ebay.

I really don't want to spend a lot on it, given the purpose it has to
serve.. so a 1mp is as good to me as 4mp... I didn't have much luck with
the last 2 cameras I bought... they were 1.3mp but took shaky, blurry
closeup shots. so I will try my luck asking here before buying again.

thank you!

Both the coolpix 950 and 990 take excellent close ups, and the price is
right if you look around.

For eBay, though, any camera with macro capability will do an excellent job.
Even a web cam will do the job, frankly, and they are under 30 dollars new.

great info.
thanks!

I honestly did end up with two 1.3mp kodaks in the recent year or so, which
took bad closeup shots. had macro feature, but it was still bad. I assume
its just bad technology. old and all.
the last one I had was I think a kodak dx3215.

so this is why I'd like to make sure before buying.

webcams are good and cheap, but I think I'll need some portability here.

I'll do a search on the models you named me. I am sure they can be had for
little when used. they are not new models of anything, far from it if I'm
not mistaken.

regards
