Recommend a 2 year old camera for macro

Aug 17, 2011

As per the title really. I'm looking for a second hand camera for taking macro coral (aquarium) photographs. So I'm looking at anything released around 2 years ago.

I don't mind if I need to add a Raynox lens. I'm competent with manual functions, but my current 4yo Panasonic compact camera is fine for general use but terrible for macro. Lighting isn't the issue, focusing at close proximity or zoomed in close from 6 inches away is what I am trying to achieve.

I just don't know where to start!

TIA
Greg
