[bonz]

my choice nikkon. hands down for me

 

[genfranco]

I do like that the Canon uses aa batteries... but ... now im more lost than before...hehhee... ok man so lets look closer at those settings... i just want the best for the money.... 10mp and 18x optical zoom... plus another 10x digital (not that i like the digital zoom)... anyway... from those settings?... I hope your not just looking at name brand diferences.. Nikon only makes cameras ....but then so does Canon... decision decisions

 

[thcheaven]

What do you guy's think about Sony's DSC-h3? 8.1 mp, 10x optical "Carl Zeiss lens" zoom. I'm new to photography, I choose this camera for my 1st serious purchase.

 

[bonz]

i dont pay attention to names.
i feel the nikkon because it seems to have more range of adjustment to play with.
i had a digi canon when they first came out, paid 900 bucks for it and i had nothing but trouble trying to get the charger for it. things have chenged with the batteries but i dont know about part avaliabinlity

well not sure where your gonna find that... it seems it came out in 07... the new sony 8.1mp with 10x optical is 299 at best buy Model: DSC-H10/B and the macro settings are way inferior then the above posted...1.6' - infinity (wide); 2.8' - infinity (telephoto) with my experience with sony cameras they dont do macro shots very well... unless you get the high end stuff..

but it is 100$ cheaper.

if macro shots is what you want..and sony is what you want... then i would get the 399 version.... dsc-h50 it has comparable to the above posted..same price... im gonna compare them right now..

0.4" - infinity (wide); 3.9' - infinity (telephoto)

 

[thcheaven]

I bought it late last year, Macro is fine for what I paid for it....Although, I may be trying to make a loupe attachment, for way close, close-ups....

 

[bonz]

there are lots of home made light set ups for this to on the net. the lighting set up i found realy makes a difference, and a tripod a must have

 

[genfranco]

here are the 3 models in question.... the nikkon and the 2 sony's... so you can compare features...

[genfranco]

I still want the NIkkon....

how about those type of results for cheaper?... anyone?

 

[genfranco]

I bought it late last year, Macro is fine for what I paid for it....Although, I may be trying to make a loupe attachment, for way close, close-ups....

oh sorry i thought you meant that you were going to buy one...hehehe...

Choose vs chose

 

[genfranco]

This thread is dedicated to Macrophotography, anyone feel free to post macro pics of anything. I'm not a photogrpher but have been taking more shots since I started my grow journal. I like it and I had to snap some macro shots of this spider the other day, no tri-pod. I just have a K.M. DiMage Z6, that's all I know

so this is what a 600$ camera can do eh

 

[Seamaiden]

Here is an example of a Jeweler's Loupe macro lens DIY

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - DIY SuperMacro lens for under $10

pretty fucking cool if u ask me. that won't fit over my camera's lens tho. just got an s5is, an hacked it too =D

What's the Old English for..?

You're being watched...

BEAUTIFUL. That's really and truly a gorgeous photograph.

 

[EKIMRI]

Another garden dweller...

 

[EKIMRI]

...And thanks for the compliment Seamaiden, I love spending time in ALL my gardens!

 

[EKIMRI]

Only one more macro in this hard drive I like... Hope you can't tell where I live!

 

[thcheaven]

Ok, So I tried..... LoL Peanuts and my Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula's shedded skin and fangs.

 

[genfranco]

This is the best i can do with a sony dsc-p52 (about 4 year old camera 3.2M)

i cant even say this is MACRO... but here ya go

 

[ethreal]

This is some of my older stuff...Had to sell the camera to pay bills unfortunately. Hopefully will be buying a new one in a few months.
