Hey there dakaiets. I work at a walmart so its easy enough to go check on cameras. One of the lady's that works in the photo lab knows ive been searching for a cheap ish camera to take pictures of and I quote (those little action figures I play with) Now she did show me two. Both would work but I don't want to spend the extra 60 bucks on the more pricier one if the less expensive one will do the job. which do you think I should get?

Going to work so i'll check back on this when I get home links are below.

I didn't respond as I loathe Kodak, but this is the one I am looking at personally:

It's a Sony Cybershot W290 and it's got incredible reviews. Ironically enough I've been looking for a camera as well...

EDIT: Thought I'd help you a bit more.

cNet reviews on each:

Of the two I'd go w/ the M340 as it has the best MP rating along w/ the better ISOs.

I have a Casio Exilim 6megapixel camera. Cheap as you like and, if you know how, takes pictures of minis beautifully!

If I had a gun to my head I would choose the EASYSHARE M863 Digital Camera

**chromedog**

I've used an easyshare Z700 (the wife's camera) and it works fine for minis (so anything newer should also work fine. The macro is fine for mini work.

Myself, I only use SLRs as a preference, but that's down to long-term use and general snobbishness towards compacts (I've been using an SLR camera since I was 14. I'm 40).

Check the focal distance for macro (there are some good compacts that will do macro from 10cm away. Others struggle at 30cm).
