Hi all,
I need to purchase a digital camera for work. It will be used for 'up close' work (predom. dental), so the ability to pick up ridges, shades and be able to achieve good clarity indoors is a priority. A large screen area is also a must.
I have found the Canon PowerShot range to be excellent (if slightly bulky for a compact) cameras. Great optics and features. If you can stretch to the A570IS even better! That's what I got recently (in the US) so it only cost to replace our A520 which somebody dropped and destroyed...
