Topic: What Camera should I get?

Right now I have a Handycam and its fine but I can't get as close up to the LEGO guys as I'd like and like really focus in on them. There's spot focus and manual, and spot focus is fine but it cant get very close. Anyone have any suggestions of different cameras?

Heres four things I'd like them to be/have...

1. Not too expensive...

2. Good focus/image quality

3. Able to work with istopmotion/Macs(most do)

4. Have a slot for a firewire(or not if its digital and you just upload the picture.)

Also if anyone has any suggestions on how to use my handycam better I'm all ears! Are web cams better? Cameras just to take pictures with then upload them? Video Cameras?

All suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Ari :)

You Can Get the 'Logitech Quickam Pro 9000' For Mac's.
But There is a tail.
As i remember, The LQP9 Doesn't come, with a software to Mac's.
And 'MonkeyJam' Doesn't seem to work on Mac's, So you can't adjust it that way.
