Looking for Macro

feeds@yuku.com (LangiB) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 08:31:33 GMT

I'm looking to upgrade from my coolpix 4800 but the one I really liked, the coolpix S550, has pretty bad macro compared to my old 4800. The S600 is the best one I've found so far, I think it was 1.2 inches, which is still not as good as my 4800's 0.4 inch. So whats with the downgrade in macro quality, or will the more then double megapixels make up for it? Which compact camera has the best macro? Thanks!

everyone knows about the Nikon S3 2000

have you heard of this:

Pretty neat but $300 sounds a little steep, considering these cameras sell for around $300 to $400 on the used market.

Two from 1958, Photographs using my Nikon E3 with 60/2.8 Micro-Nikkor

Sneaky way to get a Non-Nikon camera into the Discussion. Two Cameras from 1958: The classic Nikon S3 and the lesser known Kodak Signet 80. The latter is a made in the US camera, and was the top of the Signet line. The two cameras have some common specifications: Both have 1x finders, Coupled RF's, interchangeable lenses, bayonet mounts, lever advance, etched framelines. The Kodak finder is amazingly good. The Kodak's 1958 price with the very good Ektanar lens was $129.50. Maybe a...
