Depending on the closeness of the close up, you may want to consider a macro lens. We use 400D's at work (with both the standard 18-55 & macro lenses) and they are superb quallity, I highly recomend them.
Tbh, take your self off to jessops and have a play with one using a macro lens and see what you think compared to the 18-55mm.

Mike,
Canon outlet on ebay can be very good.
If buying new look at these two:
www.warehouseexpress.com - (big warehouse type but very good and usually the cheapest).
www.parkcameras.com - (small town shop mixing it with the big boys and actually doing a very good job at it and VERY knowledgable)
400D's are good. All the current Canon SLR's are to be honest. That 18-55mm lens is a bit of a cheapo bung in the package lens. As said above, look into a specific macro lens - there's no substitute. Many lenses say macro on them, but actually have a go in a shop and get a better idea first.
