Default want to spend upto £150.00

I want to be able to take pictures of items to sell on ebay - so I want to be able to take good clear close up shots that can be enlarged without degradation of the image, I only have up to £150.00 to do this.
PS Is it good to have a macro function to do this kind of photography?

Many thanks

DaveB

How about a Canon A60. I'm not sure about the conversion, but it should be around your cost. It's 2Mp's are plenty for Ebay work!

Ebay seems to limit most pictures to VGA size so pretty much any camera should do - even the £15 slimshot from Jessops.

For ebay work, you won't need large images. And downsized, even a 2MP would do just fine. I think a Canon A60 ( cheap ) or an A70 would fare very well for what you require. Macro mode is also very nice on 'em, I think you'd be happy with the results that you obtain.
