I have an Oly 330 which was real cheap through Amazon.   Under $300
US. I use it almost exclusively for flowers because of the live
view/tilt VF.

 I also have a Pentax K10D and a Pentax K100D.  Both are great cameras
and good adjuncts to the M8.

The M8 is a wonderful camera, but you need a SLR if you are gonna do
macro or tele
