Best Macros Point & Shoot Camera around $200 Can someone please point me in the right direction to purchase a camera that takes high quality macro pictures for a reasonable price? I've found educational sites that list units that are not converted to equivalent units on seller sites such as Amazon.

Specs from professional photography site: Continuously-variable focal length – suitable for virtually all macro subjects
45–65 mm – product photography, small objects that can be approached closely without causing undesirable influence, and scenes requiring natural background perspective
90–105 mm – insects, flowers, and small objects from a comfortable distance
150–200 mm – insects and other small animals where additional working distance is required

How can I find a conversion factor when sites like Amazon only list magnification for zoom (which is totally different from macros units? Your help is greatly appreciated!
