Minolta Dimage A1..... 5MP, auto and manual focus, has on board flash but you could use a macro flash unit on the front of the lens if you wanted to, or any other type of compatible flash unit. The camera has an electronic viewfinder and an LCD panel. The lens also has image stabilation built in. Uses compact flash cards... file size of an image at highest resolution and quality around 14MB. It uses 4 AA batteries, but will suck through regular alkalines very quickly. It's recommended that you have 2-3 sets of rechargeables. Not sure if you would be better off with a DSLR and specialty lenses for the macro work, as the macro function on most digi's is not true macro, but is considered close-up.
