Glad my original answer was of some help. You didin't state which camera model your wife bought, but for the purposes you've stated, most in the $599 range should do the job. Interchangeable ("removable") lenses are available only on the digital SLR models, and they start in price around $2,000-$3,000. <br />Some manufacturers of fixed lens and zoom lens digitals make auxilliary wide angle and telephoto lenses for their various models. These are lenses that screw on to the front of the mounted lens. They generally run about $150 each. <br />A macro lens allows you to take extreme closeups of your subject. It's a useful capability to have in model photography, although it can be overdone. It might be useful in prototype photography if you're trying to capture very small details for study (such as a manufacturer's initial on a bolt head or something of that sort.) Again, I hope this helps. <br />By the way, the easiest and safest way to store digital images (which can be very large files of 20 or 30 megabytes each) is to store them on a CD-ROM disk. You can do this yourself if you have a CD-RW drive, or you can have a photo service download your images and store them on a disk for you.
