Pretty much depends on your budget. Remember you can only post pics here with the maximum of 100k. Thats like a 640 by 480 pic. The key to a good camera is the lens and the key to a good pic is the a tri pod with no movement. Everything else is percs. I have a olympus c-4000, 4 meg around 500 dollars. (450 now) Also you need a macro function to get close up pics. Heres a few I have taken.
