Updated If you had �150 to spend on a digital camera, what would you get? Must have macro mode, and 3MP, 3X Optical would be good. Image quality is the most important thing though. (sound would be nice, but in this price range i don't think you'll find it... eg SONY P-72 is about �175 minimum)

Thinking the Olympus C-350 / D-560 Review (to americans) would be a good one, only �152 from amazon (with free delivery). Other alternate's are Fuji A303 (�159). Dunno what else for that price... found this new camera, 3mp, 4x optical, video and sound, 1.8" tft, macro Kodak DX6340 �159 inc postage amazon what do you think?
