You will need to be sure your camera has a Macro feature. This feature allows for close up shots that are not blurry. Below are a coupld of examples taken with macro on with my camera.

As has been pointed out be sure you get one with macro capabilities. Also, go with a minimum of 4.0 Megapixels. Consider replacement battery and additional card costs.

Just a suggestion but if you have a camera store in your area go in and speak with them. Not Circuit City or Best Buy but a "real" camera store where the folks are specialized. I did that and told them right off the bat I was just looking to learn at the time. The guy spent at least 1/2 hour with me. I then checked around for price comparison and ended up buying from them b/c even the chain stores only had it for $10 less! You get personal service, support a local business and they'll remember you when ypu come back

For my $$ I would go with a Nikon. I have had my non-digital Nikon since 1986 and it is still good as new - never a problem. I love my Nikon digi-cam. Just my 2 cents

A regular lens has a minimum distance you can focus at.
A macro will let you bring the lens closer to the subject and still be able to focus
