What kind of digital camera I need to buy to take good quality close up pictures ?
I bought a new digital camera from Kodak (12.2 pixels and 3x zoom ) but still isnt good enough to take good close up pictures of my miniatures (is like a small ring).Wonder if is it the right camera ?should I exchange it for another ?...Any suggestions are welcome ..Thanks 
Your ordinary garden-variety camera focusses down to about 3 ft. To get closer than that, you need a camera with -macro- capability. Look for that in the brochure or the instructions. Your camera may have a macro mode, but then it might not be quite extreme enough to fill the frame with something as small as a ring. Some cameras have macro and super-macro mode. My camera (Canon) can focus right up to the actual surface of the lens!
Taking pictures that close-up presents certain difficulties. The camera can actually get in its own light, so the subject can be in shadow unless you're careful. And at that close a distance you have no depth of field, so it's hard to get the whole thing in focus. So if you really want to do it right, it would be nice to have a manual exposure mode where you can set the f-stop to the smallest aperture to give you the maximum depth of field. This, of course, requires either much more light or a long exposure, so a small table-top tripod might be a nice thing, to hold the camera steady through a long exposure. You can light miniatures pretty well with a couple of small desk lamps, or on a table beside a window, with a white card or sheet of paper on the other side to reflect some light into the shadows.
