Ricoh's GX series cameras allow shooting distance alot closer than most.
the GX1000 is suppose to be a great camera for macro...its around 399.99 or so.
The question is what is keeping you from getting into a nice entry level DSLR?
There is alot of added expense since its very hard to get a kit and not want more lenses and flashes and filters and etc......
The G series from canon are great cameras.... I had a G5 and G7.
I love them for take along cameras when you are not trying to "Get your DSLR" on so to speak. When I am taking photos to make great images i always grab my D200 but the G5 is a nice one for when Im going somehwere and I am not sure if I'll need a camera or not.....mostly for snapping and remembering times.
but for the price of a G10 you can add a couple hundred and get a DSLR that can be so much more. add some cheap ext. tubes from ebay and you have a great macro rig. AS long as you have great lighting.
Good luck in your search!
