Best Camera for Macros?

I've been documenting my pick-ups for a few months now, but I only have my camera phone (2.0megapixel) and I can do okay macros with my scanner.

After seeing some of the photos on here, I have to get a proper camera because I feel like I'm not properly documenting my nugs !

So, to the cannabis photographers, what are some cameras that will do my buds justice ?

Sony DSC-W55

Just take a look at Lebowski's thread here.

Those were taken with that camera.

if you want to take GOOD pictures of ANYTHING get a digital SLR (digital cameras with removable lens)

if not then just buy some shitty small digi cam because really they are all teh same now
no matter 8 mega pixels or 12 they usually take the same pictures.
the thing that makes the pictures good is the sensor in the camera..theres only like a few kind of sensors

Hehe, thanks phased.

Yeah anything from my gallery was taken with that. I think the average retail price is 200-350, but I found mine on sale at fry's for 175$.

There is one problem with this camera- it only has autoexposure, you can in no way adjust the exposure, it automatically approximates it from what it sees in the frame, which works most of the time but can be annoying for certain shots.
Other than that the macro lens has like a 2cm focal range, so you can get very close.

Re: Best Camera for Macros?

I have a canon 570IS that I got off amazon warehouse for 100. It takes great pics although it doesnt get as close up as lebowskis sony. Ive been looking around for a lens, but I dont know what to get. Anybody have any suggestions? There are so many options that im unsure what would be the best.

Im thinking either:

http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Panoram...395956&sr=1-15

or

http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Profess...396070&sr=1-14

Re: Best Camera for Macros?

If u really want to take good macros u should get a reflex camera and a macro objective. If u'r really only going to use it to shoot pics off u'r buds u will wanna go wit something cheaper though cause i'm talking about + 1500 bukcs here. My friend has an olympus wich takes very respectable macros, i don't know wich model though but i know it's the only model the have wich is shock and water proof.
