Not really, but I use a Nikon Coolpix 8700. It's just a normal digital cam, no extra lenses and stuff. It's not a DSLR.
Some pictures I uploaded I made with the old Nikon Coolpix 3100, a 3 Mpix camera.
You can find info on this camera here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Nikon/nikon_cp8700.asp
But it's not in production anymore and the newer model (8800) isn't as good at macro.

Wow, that's freaky ! lol

 

We have loads of those here in norway they call them fluesopp, fly mushrooms. Legend has it that in viking times Berserkers used to take it before battle because it gave them extra strength and made them immune to pain. Since taking it direct is deadly they would blend some in with food for a bull they would then wait for the animal to urinate and catch the golden drops to drink. mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

that site is amazing, thank you spidergoat.

Cymothoa exigua is a parasitic crustacean like no other, as it does not just live in its host but actually replaces part of it. First it attaches itself at the base of the tongue of the chosen fish, with the claws on its front three pairs of legs, and begins to extract blood. As the parasite grows, less and less blood is able to reach the tongue, and eventually the organ atrophies and dies, at which time the parasite attaches to the muscles of the tongue stub replacing the tongue with its own body. The fish is able to use the parasite as a fully functional tongue and the parasite survives on food particles, relieving the stress on the host’s appropriated circulatory system.

Ugh that fish looks horrible, cool urchin though !

 

I think the first picture is cooler; imagine a slug replacing your tongue! Pure sci-fi.
