Hello, asking on behalf of a friend who asked me for general camera advice. He wants something other than his phone camera (in fact he is looking to liberate himself from smartphone) but not a full-on SLR if possible.
Just general use, he is not a climber or anything, more a "countryside walks with his children" but he's expressed interest in playing with macro, and I have a feeling he'd like to make a few videos of him playing some music.
It strikes me that a CSC would fit the bill - big enough to not feel like a glorified phone, light enough to take everywhere, and can screw a polariser on easily, and (if feeling cheap for macro) a "close up filter".
BUT I was wondering if there is one which has a kit lens with good close focusing (like how the Olympus TG compacts are good for this), or if anyone can recommend a particularly decent macro lens for a CSC. We are probably looking second hand, maybe £300 total budget.
thanks
