I have trouble getting the orchid in focus and getting the colors looking good (especially the white on Orchids). I have a pretty good Camera (Fuji FinePix S9000) It can take Macro and Raw pictures. I intend to get a tripod but I think if I could get closer in focus by way of my camera (maybe by some sort of close up attachment) and/or by buying another camera I hope I can could do better. Would I be better off with a SLR camera that I could change lenses (so I could get closer pictures ie macro lenses) or would I be better off with a camera like Canon Powershot that can get me good RAW format and able to get me closer to the orchid by way of their 1 CM Macro CM Macro.I am really impressed by RAW format as to what it can do to make the close up orchid picture better than JPG.

You will get better quality pictures from a DSLR. RAW/jpg doesn't make any difference in focusing the shot; those are just two ways of handling data.
My Canon DSLR stores images in jpg and RAW; many of the newer models do.
