Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem trying to photograph table-top mechano model scenes, and get the focusing correct, which is to simply keep everything in focus.
At the moment I am without a digital camera, and looking to buy a (hopefully entry level) one.
My first ever digital camera, (entry level) a 1.3 mega pixed Fuij camera (with viewfinder!) did a great job of getting everything in the scene in focus. Whether it was near the camera or further back in the scene. However with other modern cameras I've borrowed and tried, even on the macro setting, they seem to auto choose which distance objects to focus on, and blur the rest.
Is there a camera you know of, that can keep the type of scene I'm trying to photograph, and keep it all in focus? (another fuiji camera perhaps?)
- I've uploaded a photo of a scene I tried to photograph recently, and you'll see the focusing issue. (taken with a Canon IXUS 430)

Now here's a look at a similar scene, taken with my 10 year old 1.3 mega pixel Fuji MX-1200 camera:

As you can see, the second photo taken from the old camera keeps everything in focus, both near and far objects. But I have yet to find a camera that does this. So -- any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
