dpreview.com is fantastic. I found it last year when looking to update
my ancient Canon S10 and found out loads of things I hadn't realised
about that model let alone the new offerings!

It also told me of up and coming models which I might want to wait
for: I duly waited for two of them, tested them in shops (with my own
CF card so I could take the photos home and look properly!) and found
them both wanting. So I've ended up rather seriously poorer with a
model I hadn't even thought about originally. But then again I had a
really nice camera for a once in a lifetime trip to Japan, in a cheap
place to buy accessories

So which camera did you buy for taking gardening photos?
