What kind of digital camera I need to buy to take good quality close up pictures ?

Your ordinary garden-variety camera focusses down to about 3 ft. To get closer than that, you need a camera with -macro- capability. Look for that in the brochure or the instructions. Your camera may have a macro mode, but then it might not be quite extreme enough to fill the frame with something as small as a ring. Some cameras have macro and super-macro mode. My camera (Canon) can focus right up to the actual surface of the lens!

Taking pictures that close-up presents certain difficulties. The camera can actually get in its own light, so the subject can be in shadow unless you're careful. And at that close a distance you have no depth of field, so it's hard to get the whole thing in focus. So if you really want to do it right, it would be nice to have a manual exposure mode where you can set the f-stop to the smallest aperture to give you the maximum depth of field. This, of course, requires either much more light or a long exposure, so a small table-top tripod might be a nice thing, to hold the camera steady through a long exposure. You can light miniatures pretty well with a couple of small desk lamps, or on a table beside a window, with a white card or sheet of paper on the other side to reflect some light into the shadows.

Turn off the camera flash and set up some good lighting. Use the zoom and stay back as far as possible to get the best perspective then try cropping the picture and use the photo editor to enlarge the cropped picture. A camera with a macro lens and a ring flash might work for you but as you get closer with the macro lens the perspective will change.

Without up-grading to a digital SLR, I would suggest getting a canon or a sony compact camera. Both have good picture quality period, where the kodak doesn't. What you would be using is the MACRO mode to shoot close-up. Both do very well in this mode, specifically any of the sony's T-Series cameras. Either brand would be a whole lot better though.

Closeup photography is also known as macro photography. the purpose of this type of photography is to capture close up in great details like butterfly wings or dew drops or wedding rings and blow them up to full size with fantastic details.

Try renting a Canon dSLR Camera and a 60mm Macro lens or 100mm macro lens. this is what the professionals use.
