I have a Casio Exilim 8.1 with manual focus. Lot pre-sets and manual options to play with. Great Macro if you can get the ISO figured out. May be passible tool with tripod. No remote shutter control.

@ooftaZone Maybe if you figured out a way to create one of those shutter release cables (really old concept) where it physically pushes down on the shutter. I don't know...

@sgtjlopez DXG digital camera, but I don't use it all the time. Only for small projects. I am using a high quality Sony digital camcorder for my Moses movie.
