Most cameras have a mount on the underside for a tripod or stand. You MUST get one with Macro(up close) settings, Kodak has a nice model for about 200.00 that comes with a base that works as a charger and is hooked up to your computer and sends the photos to your pictures automatically when you put it on the base and hey you charge the batteries at the same time. I bought it at Costco last month, Its the kodak easy share C360 and its pretty small so its good for bringing to vegas. fits in your pocket.
Goodluck and remember you dont need to spend over 300.00 on a camera now a days
