looking for a close focusing compact

[Brachytron]

Hi, I am looking for a compact camera that has a decent close focus preferrably at the tele end of the zoom range. Not worried by MP count, RAW would be nice but not essential. Ideally less than £200. Any advice gratefully received.

Fuji X10 secondhand.

I've seen some excellent Macro results from Panasonic TZ cameras. I think it was a TZ 20 that I've seen, but I assume newer versions will be as good.

It was by far the best Macro from any compact I've seen, and the zoom worked during Macro to get in really close, which some don't tend to do so well.

Fuji X10 secondhand.

Can't remember offhand, but I suspect the X10 doesn't allow macro mode to be used with the lens at anything other than the widest setting. That may just be super-macro mode tho?

But otherwise I agree, macro on the X10 is very impressive indeed.

Thanks for the feedback so far, will look at both options.
