Do you have a budget in mind?

For a bottom-end budget, I'd suggest looking up an Olympus D-600L. True SLR 
viewing, so you can put attachments on the end and actually see what they will 
do. Decent macro capability. Point-n-shoot simplicity.

My Dad won a photo club competition with this camera, against the usual 
suspects of 35mm SLRs, with an 8x10 print he made on an Epson CS-800 printer. 
When it was new, it was THE CAMERA for pros to buy. You should be able to pick 
one up today for under $200.

Remember, not all megapixels are created equal. It may only be 1.4 MP, but it 
can still take prize-winning pictures.
