Hi all,

I want to buy my first digital camera and really need your advice. Although,
I have experience of working with old fashion floppy type digi-cameras,
somehow frastrating due to capacity of diskette.
- I have heard some of them has video mode, is it usefuel?
- I'm not sure whether need to think about compatiblity of its software with
Windows? Is that a case?
- I'm thinking about something that can take picture of close objects (say
as close as 8-10"/20cm, I guess this means lower focal distance) with a good
quality and also sometimes with slower shutter speed. This is just for fun.
I have a $400-500 budget for something that doesn't force me to sell it next
year.

Thanks for the help.
