More Information needed

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Jan 2, 2011 11:58PM PST

Most all of the digital cameras can do what you want.

Shooting pictures up close is called "macro" mode.
And almost all digital cameras have zoom (at least 3X).

The price of digital cameras range from about $100 to infinity.
What price range are you looking for?
Do you have a preference of the physical size of the camera?
(shirt pocket, pants pocket, jacket pocket or too big to fit a pocket.
