<html> <body> Thanks, Terry. That's exactly the type of thing I'd like to have. Very soon! :-) Avery At 04:50 PM 6/4/2006, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""> Close-up - like this? This is a picture of a center pin from a Samick product that had black gook in the bushings - caused all sorts of slow action center problems.   This picture was taken with my Nikon CoolPix 4300 <a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/CP4300/C43A.HTM"> http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/CP4300/C43A.HTM</a>  One of the reasons I bought this model was because it will focus down to 1.6 inches from the subject. I think this model has been out for at least three years now. No doubt there are others available that have similar close-up focus abilities. I have been very happy with the camera. It's all I'll need for a very long time.   Terry Farrell   <img src="cid:7.0.1.0.2.20060604205107.0240b488@houston.rr.com.1" width=631 height=123 alt="[]">     ----- Original Message ----- > Speaking of not having a camera, can someone recommend one that I > could use to take close-up pictures > of piano related things?
