I would agree with mj, the Canon 400d is excellent, a friend of mine has been showing me his and I am very impressed. But you will find a lot of people also like Nikon cameras too. But I am only a beginner too so Im mainly going on what I have read and friends experiences.

If you just want a more simple camera (i.e. not an SLR) but that still takes great up close photos, i highly recommend the Pentax w10... its waterproof and the macro function is awesome.
I took all of the photos here on my w10... Spring has Sprung.... some garden shots from today!

I'm a big fan of my Nikon D80, but also really like the tiny Nikon dscT10
compact, which has a great macro facility
Would aggree with all above reccomendations, the canons are excellent.
