You can get a ton of information and detailed reviews from Ken Rockwell.

Ken lives near you! He recommends online stores, though you might find one nearby.

I started taking flower pictures with a Nikkormat, and a 55 mm. macro lens as my "normal" lens.

Still taking flower pictures (and more).

I have been using a Coolpix with enormous zoom range for years, and there is a lot to say for a single fixed zoom lens. For wide angle photos, phone cameras do a great job.
