Years ago I used an old Pentax Optio S40 to take some macro pics of various bugs I found around the house/yard. It's a good camera, but not top-of-the-line and not made for these kinds of shots. But I found that, with the right settings, it worked really well. Granted, I was able to get really close to my subjects (most of the time I trapped them under a glass). But I think any good digital camera that allows enough manual control over the settings should be able to take great macro shots.


Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of moths/butterflies, so these will have to do as examples. Sorry.
