I'm no shutterbug. I'm using a digital camera that cost about $200.

Is it me, or the camera? If me, what should I do differently? If it's the
camera, what other camera works better?

It's hard to tell what is the matter remotly but my Fuji 2600 macro
focuses at about 10 cm. It's hard to get light on the subject when
the camera is that close. :-) It only cost a little more and has
2 meg pixels and 3x optical zoom. I'm well pleased with it.

Very interesting thread!

No one has mentioned the digital camera I bought a Costco about a year
ago. It is a Minolta Dimage Z1 with a 10X optical zoom and 3.4 meg
pixels. One of the autofocus options allows closeups to about 1.6
inches. I have taken lots of nature photos, as well as similar
closeups for documenting electronic assembly work at the plant.

Also the closeup capability allows great Ebay photos!

My $0.02 worth.
