Description
Obvious these damsels were doing there morning gymnastics and not paying much attention to me :). So I had to decide what type of camera I should buy: An all-in-one-zoom cam or a digital Single Lens Reflex camera (d-SLR) with a set of dedicated interchangeable lenses. I once roamed the earth with a slr and a set of dedicated lenses, dedi flashlights and a shoulder statif. On long walks I really got tired of dragging the bulky heavy equipment around and changing lenses all the time. You had to be careful not to drop one of your precious parts by accident. Therefore I decided to buy me a flexible 10x zoom 8mpix zoom camera with image stabilization. The 8mpix I need for cropping space. The good quality of the allround lens cann't be as good as say a (expensive)dedicated macro lens. But let us be honest; shaky hands are much more of a problem on the sharpness of a shot, than lensquality will ever be in the field. Next time last general pro's and cons.

Stunning shot. very crisp and the colours are very rich.........i find it VERY weird that you went from an SLR to a compact, (thats like moving from a ferrari 360 modena and saying you're happy with a ford focus) with an slr as you know you've got SO many more settings you can make ..so much more scope to be creative....... believe it or not the 2 macros i took of the flys were both handheld.... with no Image Stabilisation in the lens (hell they wern't even with a dedicated macro lens.... it was the kit lens that came with the camera coupled up to some extension tubes) it was a combination of high iso speed (800) (gotta be careful of noise with that tho), high aperture value (f/18) (to get good depth of field) and fast shutter speed (1/250) that eliminated the shake...what i do is take only the equipment i need with me...an artist wouldn't take every brush he owns on a field trip, so why take every bit of camera kit with you (take what you need for your intended subject) I had a compact 5mp fuji camera and to be honest it just didn't cut it (a snapshot camera with no scope for creativity tbh) it also died after 2 years because the cmos sensor is constantly exposed to the light, because in most compacts the lcd (cmos image) is your viewfinder... the cmos in an slr will last way longer because its only exposed for fractions of a second at a time.... anyways thats my pennys worth on the compact vs slr debate :)

A DSLR always is better, if you're into nature photography... the auto-focus is much (!!) faster and the quality of hardware (and the pics, of course) is much higher than with compact digitals, no question! Wonderful pic again, maybe I would have waited a few minutes for the typically "heart" formation which even looks more fascinating (see my today upload, sorry I'm not fishing for comments lol). Very nice macro! :o) Regards, Karsten
