I usually check out prices first, the different brand names effect the price. fine pix is easy to use.

I forget is the pound more or less than the Us dollar. just currious If its cheaper to buy from a UK store, I might just as well do that and spend a bit more on shipping, depending on the cost of shipping of course

Thanks

Ahh thanks. Only problem is customs and import tax etc... not to mention warranties that may apply, though I'm unsure with this. £1 is approx $1.6 I think... so the dollar is roughly 62% 'greater' than the sterling


Sorry to be a post-whore, but I don't think many of the 'macro-kings' saw my original question:

Would this camera be suitable for good macro pics:

http://www.digital-cameras.info/fuj...x-s304-zoom.htm

I'd appreciate it loads if any of you could have a quick peek at its specifications and say if you think it'd be a good camera. I have the money from selling a guitar amp...

These are the main spec's:

3.24 million effective pixel CCD
6X optical zoom lens (38 – 228mm, 35mm equivalent)
Programmed auto exposure and aperture-priority auto modes
Stylish finish on the S304 Zoom
Auto, red-eye, forced, suppressed and slow sync flash modes
Movie capture (320 x 240 pixel) movie mode with sound
High quality 1.8 inch TFT (62,000 pixel) LCD screen
Powered by 4 x AA batteries
Voice memo feature
xD-Picture Card compatible
Webcam facility
Extra long battery life


I look forward to competing in the war

I just got a digi cam not to long ago. I was wondering how I would know if i can do maco pics. Do I have to change any settings or anything? or just zoom in? I have a sony cybershot 3.2 mega pixels.

 

[BigSam]

I got the dig camera and way better pics. What do you guys think ??

There should be a little flower icon on the camera. Press that buttom and you'll be in macro.
Also, it might help to read the macro chapter in the owners guide.

with a 6x optical zoom you should be in the market for some serious macro. Id suggest finding a +7 - 10 equivalent set of macro filters. they add up, so a Hoya +1 +2 and +4 is seven. This allows the camera to focus at a closer range or at high-zoom. Also, the higher res = bigger the crop. im not sure of the res on the cam since it is broken. go here for some comparisons http://www.steves-digicams.com/closeups.html

I also might add that a higher aperture = greater focus range. f/5-8 should be fine for really close shots.

wow thanks I am goin to go try to find that owners manual and read up on it hopefully I will be postin some pics soon!!!

 

[LPacker79]

Just checked the owner's manual. This stupid camera seriously doesn't have macro. It's a Sony Mavica model MVC-FD81. My mom bought it in 1997 back when they were mucho expensive. I inherited it when she got a new camera.

These are as close as I can get:

I thought the detail was pretty good on this. I didn't enlarge it, just cropped the excess greenery out of the frame.
