My digital camera won't take good closeups. They are blurry.
I had to use my scanner to get good pics of a coin.
I'm told that when I buy a new digital camera make sure it has a macro mode.
Here is why macro is important.

Your question about CMOS is a good one. There is a diffrence between CMOS and CCD.
Both capture light but CMOS is about 10 times less sensitivity.
Here is a helpful article on that.

thanks for all your good inputs..

it is a hard balance... when you are especially trying to get something like a camera for someone as a gift/surprise..

i have come to see this as a possibility:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2BVCO0/

now this person (male- mid 30s) takes occasional photo graphs with regular digi cams... do you think this camera would be a steep upgrade for someone considered beginner or novice in photo hobby skills.? if you think so, can you suggest something along the same lines but not as advanced from http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/photo/330405011 please?
