Camera Question

I should probably put this is the dark room too, but I think more people read these threads. I have a Nikon D90. Seriously all I use it for is taking pictures of beads and flowers. It is acting strange and probably needs some repairs. Trying to figure out what is going on is a trial by fire. I am not willing to put much money into fixing it. So I am asking for suggestions for a good small camera with auto focus, macro abilities and not a zillion bells and whistles. Any suggestions?

Given where you are, I would suggest that you go to Murphy's Camera and look at what is available these days. There are several cameras from Nikon and Canon that will meet your needs (and more). As we are just across the river from you we are familiar with the "above and beyond" service at Murphy's. Take some beads and flowers with you and they will let you try out the cameras that feel best to you.

You might also take the D90 with you and have them look at it. It may be something simple that they could take care of quickly. Or if it needs to go to Nikon they can tell you what the costs are and you can make the judgment as to repair vs replace.

Thanks, Fred. I did take my camera to Murphy's and it was "operator error"...thank heavens! Murphy's is a great store!
