Advice on buying the best (sharpest) P+S "macro" camera
I need advice on buying a P+S camera with the best possible macro rendering,
i need macro shots that are really sharp and detailed. Currently i own a Canon G6 but i donīt think itīs very sharp in the macro area (for allround shooting very fine though). I have also tried Nikon Coolpix 4500 that is sharper in macro mode, but is has only 4M pix. and a bit noisier compared to current cameras and no RAW format. Some may suggest a DSLR with a macro lens but i prefer a P+S camera for macro because of the larger depth of field. All suggestions welcome, thanks. Regard Stig |

Advice on buying the best (sharpest) P+S "macro" camera
Stig,
for the Canon PRO1 you can buy a macro lens to put in front of the lens. Actually this should be possible for all digicams that would accept srew on filters. However, when you are keen on excellent quality you have to consider DSLRs. There you get specialised 'tele macro' lenses with long working distance. These lenses are optimized for this type of work (correction of aberrations). As for depth of field: have a look at the Olympus 'four three' system (e.g. E-500). The sensor size of these are somewhat smaller than in the Canon or Nikon DSLRs. If DSL is out of question have look at the Panasonic LX1. Panasonics are optimised for high resolution even at the cost of too little noise reduction. Regards, Guenter "Stig Holmberg" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
