......... the one I opted for was the Sony cybershot W7. Its not got a great magnification on the lens but it gives you a massive 7.2 megapixel image. I paid £211 for it,

Wonderful pictures DD.  I am thinking of buying myself a digital camera and the one you have fits the bill.  Do you have a Opteka High Definition 10x Pro Macro Lens for it or were the photo's just taken with the 3 x magnification lens which comes as standard on the camera?  I don't know a lot about digital cameras but searched for Sony Cybershot W7 on E Bay and found the lens for sale.

I wonder if Santa will be good to me this year??  :)

Hi Paulines7,
the macro images were taken with the standard camera in macro mode.
Bought it by recommendation myself and very pleased with the results.
I also own a digital SLR, but its too much to carry most of the time. The Sony W7 is really to use as a holiday and general purpose camera, needless to say have used it most of the time at the moment.
Hope to post some non macro photos asap.

Thanks for your reply DD.  The more I hear about this camera the more convinced I am that it is the one for me.  I would like to take close up pictures of some of the beautiful moths and other insects that frequent my garden.  I will have to pay my £10 then so I can share the pictures with everyone on this forum.
