digital cameras ( zooming options ) ?
I am looking for digital camera , doesnt have to be new ..
that can effectively zoom in on details such as pores etc on flowers and give me good quality of picture ( professional ) I dont know if this is possible cheap but I am not well versed in traditional cameras so im sort of looking for a short cut for producing good interesting photos that capture the eye for some artwork.. thanks |

I'll recommend a used Canon DSLR (lots of them for sale and they are very decent) and a macro lens. |

It is difficult to answer without more information. What do you mean by "professional"? I am having trouble understanding what you want when you combine that with the comment about "cheap." True professional quality equipment is not going to be cheap. However, if what you want is good quality with the flexibility and room for growing your technical skills, then you have a number of options. Look for a reasonable quality pro-sumer (i.e. Mid-range price) DSLR. If you want to save money, look for a model that has recently been replaced by a newer version and buy a used one. Invest in a good quality macro lens. I would suggest a combination like a Nikon D70 with a Nikon 60 mm macro. A 100 mm macro lens would be better but the cost goes up. Other manufacturers offer similar combinations. |

Just to be clearer
I am essentially not looking to take moving pictures .. I am looking to take pictures in low light and heard fujii was best for this Zoom in is important so x6 or 7 would be good need something powerful enough that will translate well into poster size if need movie recording is not as important as quality if pics unless its a bonues feature wrote: Robert Haar wrote: On 2006/10/29 3:14 PM, " wrote: I am looking for digital camera , doesnt have to be new .. that can effectively zoom in on details such as pores etc on flowers and give me good quality of picture ( professional ) I dont know if this is possible cheap but I am not well versed in traditional cameras so im sort of looking for a short cut for producing good interesting photos that capture the eye for some artwork..

Take a look at the Fuji S7000. The macro lens will let you get within a centimeter of the flower and the 6 megapixel picture (12 if you let it interpolate) should mean you can crop without losing much detail. It has a 6x zoom (35-210 equiv) which is as much as you need most of the time. There are add-on lenses for wide-angle and telephoto. It is not a true DSLR. The lens is not removable (however this means no problems with dust on the sensor). Also the DSLRs wont allow you to frame the picture with the screen and generally has an optical viewfinder. DSLRs require a substantial investment at the beginning and as you're unfamiliar with many cameras, I'd advise buying the cheaper camera first and the going for a DSLR later if you feel the expense (and bulk and weight) is worthwhile. The Fuji S9100/9600 is similar except the zoom/focus ring works better and it's 9 megapixel. |
