Default A nice under $100 camera that takes good bead pictures

We recently purchased a refurbished Samsung S85 8 MegaPixel 5X Optical Zoom from buy.com for $81. http://www.buy.com/prod/samsung-s85-...208288680.html We chose the standard free delivery and had the item in hand in just a couple of days. It arrived in the original box with all the expected accessories. It looked brand new. Our main reason for selecting this camera was the small size, low price and the fact that it had a macro setting. A quick check of cnet http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-came...tag=prod.txt.1 can get you all the details on the camera. Be sure to look at the specification page: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-came...html?tag=mncol It comes with some nice photo editing software. It uses standard SD cards for storage and is powered by 2 AA batteries.

The macro mode is great for photographing beads. My wife took some photos of some test beads and I have one of them below.

My frustration is that I got us a very nice canon camera about a year ago. Spent about $350. She quickly took a dislike to it and has yet learned to take a good macro photo despite the fact that many here love that other camera.
