# I've got the same, macro focal range that is.
I've got a Fujifilm FinePix S100FS.

Best/cheapest camera I could find with actual manual controls and without a range of ridiculously expensive lenses I would have to buy.

# I still use this old beast
and I'm confident that in a blind taste test it will still produce better pictures than any compact or modern digital below the dslr range.

# Not enough twiddly knobs for my liking.
I hate cameras where you have to go through menus and press buttons to change apeture and shutter speeds.

Trying to find a cheap camera which has manual controls is fucking nigh impossible though, the original one I was looking at getting went out of production in about 6 months.

# actually it's as simple as it gets
buttons all at the easy reach of two fingers and once your settings are set up it's really a case of point, zoom, shoot.
