Then, I will check the macro mode, f-stop etc (thank you lardman).

About lighting I will go with Lt faceless advice (thanks!)

I would like to go to a shop but I dont feel comfortably specifying to the employee in the shop the main use of the camera... Fortunately, there is internet...

If you're going for a DSLR then no need to worry too much about the macro mode and f-stop as the camera should be able to do the job as long as you have the right lens (I was commenting more if you were planning to buy a high-end single lens bridge camera). The only thing you might look at is what lens packages they do with the camera and choose the one that will work for what you plan to shoot.

If you want to discuss in the shop I guess you could say you want to take shots of flowers/insects/plants/something else that's about the same scale as a Joe.
