I'm planning on buying myself a digital camera for Christmas. I'm really interested in close up photography.
So my questions are these, what should I look for in a camera for close ups? mega pixels, Zoom at least x3? steady shot?

Yeah, practically cameras supporting .raw files are those digi SLR cameras, and they do cost a bomb...
What do you need the .raw for anyway?

5MP is definitely not enough, though with AutoFocus it should work fine. What brand is this camera?
