Here's the original post:
"Stumbled on this forum while searching "super macro " ! I've had specific closeup needs for electronic circuits & just couldn't get good results from my usual batch of digitals, since most max. out at a handspan. HOWEVER - the new budget Olympus D-540 (known as C-310 here in NZ) is a closeup winner & it's supermacro goes to under an inch (20mm). Best of all, is that it's CHEAP (~ US$170 ), uses 2 AA NiMH, & is dead easy to drive. Check a sample pix (resized down from 600k to just 100k as well) =>

Just FIY, anytime you need to find something on a newsgroup like this, go to Google Groups where you can search an individual group by keyword. If it's something recent like this thread, you can always sort the results by date. I searched for 'camera' by date and found my thread there. Here's the URL for RCB:
