In the market for buying a good digital camera for taking pics of small, detailed pieces - any suggestions?

Hi, I am looking to buy a new digital camera. I will be taking alot of pictures of handmade jewelry, fossils, and shark teeth, but at the same time I will be using it for the family. Mainly because I don't have the money to buy 2 separate cameras. Also, it would be great if the camera was waterproof - you know how kids can be! Any help would be appreciated!!

Answer
Many P&S cameras are surprisingly good at taking macro shots (as long as you read the manual properly and learn how to do it!!).
When you take a lot of those photos, you'll be very grateful to have a camera with a flip out screen (like this: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17630) because it saves you bending down at odd angles... makes life much easier!

That particular camera is actually really good all around - not quite a DSLR, but much better than the tiny P&S cameras in many ways.

Make sure to learn about photography so you can make the most out of your equipment - you'll be very glad you did.
