Recommendations? New Camera

Well - it looks like my Nikon coolpix 5000 may be in for some expensive
repairs. So while I wait to get an estimate, I'm starting to research a
new camera, in case the costs for repairs is so high that getting a new
camera makes more sense. I have another digital for family snapshots,
travel picks, etc. So this new camera would only be used for beads and
jewelry, so I'd like something with a good macro, and probavbly 5+ MP
just so I can have some flexibility in how I use pictures taken with
the camera..
Any recommendations?

Your stuff is *SO* awesome, it probably deserves a better
camera than I have, but I've been very pleased with my
Sony CyberShot (with macro). Mine only has 4 MP, so you
should check to see what Sony's next generation has to offer.
Just my 2 cents! :-)

I have a little Olympus Camedia D-540 that I use as a general-purpose
family camera, and a backup bead camera when needed, and it does a great
job! Lower megapixels than you need, but I'm sure Olympus has something
else in the same line that would work well. It has VERY nice macro and
the price point is great.

Thanks Kalera. I received some unexpected $$ this week, so I decided to
go ahead and get another Nikon (I got a Coolpix P2) as I have generally
been happy with Nikon's cameras, and know how to use them.

It's an older model, the Coolpix 4500. That's my main bead camera, and I
adore it!

The one that's in for repairs in a Coolpix 5000 - takes great pics, but
almost too many features for me, given my lack of time to RTFM!
