What is your price range???? That has a lot to do with it.
Again I can't help but point you to Consumer Reports Web site they just recently reviewed cameras and I can't remember what they recommended.

With thanks to everyone for previous recommendations (i love my Garvin 360. It really works great!), I'm asking for another recommendation. I primarily need to take pictures of "things" (mainly antiques which I occasionally offer for sale at local shows). Many close-ups. I need crisp pictures, especially of identifying marks on ceramics and porcelain. I am in the habit of cropping, adjusting for color, etc, using PhotoShop after the pictures have been snapped. I do use a "light box" to shoot most of the pictures I take for my business, but some things are too big to fit into it. A tripod is also available when I need it. And the "odd" family photo will also be taken. I also need jpg images that are of "reasonable" size for uploading to my website and others, therefore the picture files can't be hundreds of megabytes each. My computer of choice is my iMac. (Ok - it's my only computer, ergo my computer of choice.) Any particular preferences? Recommendations? Specifics re. reasons for recommendations are very much appreciated. Price, of course, is an object. (Isn't it always?) But I'm more interested in quality and ruggedness than a cheap price. This camera will replace a Nikon Coolpix 4500 which has been great, but which is getting a bit dated. The Nikon was originally purchased to take close-ups of small items, for which it is great, but I'm interested to know what's out now. Close-ups continue to be needed, so anything that takes close-ups to far-aways would be helpful. TIA for any and all suggestions.
