Here is a macro taken with an Olympus C4000.
Check out my gallery for some other examples of what this camera is capable of. Tim Oly C4000 Canon EOS 50e http://tim-clay.fotopic.net/ |

![]() Fixed lens digital cameras may take some nice close up images but they may also be limited in functions someone used to using a good film camera with typical accessories is used to. One issue is macro versus closeup. Many people talk macro but essentially just shoot closeup as I am doing herein. Can one force the camera to stop down to minimum aperture aka aperture priority? When stopped down to minimum aperture does a flat target, perpendicular to camera, produce an image sharp corner to corner? In other words does it have small enough aperture to do so? At the normal closeup working distance is the lens corrected for corner to corner frame sharpness? In other words despite the fact the center and corners are different distances. Can one manually focus withthe cameraand if so is it accurate? Major advantage of dSLR versus fixed lens digicam is an image too close to fixed lens camera to view due to parallax between the optical viewer and sensor can only be viewed with the lcd display. If outdoors that may be very difficult to view and focus manually at. An optical SLR view is far superior for closeups versus lcd displays. Is there a tripod socket? Otherwise it is a kids toy. Is there a way to take a shot at any moment without shaking camera ala cable shutter release or more likely a remote control? One ought not have to depress the actual camera shutter with one's fingers or in many situation shake would result. One needs to be able to do so at an instant as a bug will not wait for your timer to tick off nor will a wildflower stay still in intermittent breezes. |

Here's a typical CP990 Nikon hand held capture of a small honeybee - In all seriousness, I could not have taken this image with my $9000 11 megapixel Canon EOS-1DS or any of my other professional digital or film SLR's. Try setting up your tripod, getting down to the bug's level, standing on your head to get manual focus, and asking the bee's cooperation with staying put while you compose and shoot. There is a place for SLR and serious macro work, but in my experience there are far more good macro shots of insects being taken with digicams than with SLR's whether it be digital or film. It's another world you really need to investigate seriously if you are interested in insect macro photography. Best regards, Lin ![]() |

I think the Canon Powershot cams do pretty well with macro shots, too.
I got the A60 and I'm still very satisfied with its macro abilities: ![]() ![]() |
