which is the best canon digital camera for macro shots?
yes my budget would be up to £300 and fair easy to use!
could someone also please tell me how to reply to questions on here??? i cant find where to do this!! cheers!
The BEST would be one of their digital SLR's with a high-quality macro lens, but I have an idea you are looking to spend less than a thousand dollars. I just posted an answer that is 100% suitable for you, so I will repeat it here.
I suggest the "A" series over the "SD" series for macro, because they will go as close as 1 cm in macro mode and the SD's will only go as close as 5 cm. In a few cases, this WILL make a difference.
I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon Powershot A630 or A640 for myself. These cameras have the larger 1/1.8" (5.2 mm x 7.2 mm) sensor that is nearly double the sensor size you find in many point and shoot cameras and this translates into better image quality. They allow fully automatic use or total user control and offer several stages in between. The only significant difference between these cameras is that the A630 is 8 MP and the A640 is 10 MP.
If you're going to spend up to $250, look at a Canon Powershot A630. My brother has had his A630 for about a year and it's a very nice camera. You can get it at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping) for $192.
If you can go to $350, look at the 10 MP Canon Powershot A640. This is an excellent camera. It sells for $260 and you can add a very nice memory card for under $50.
For either camera, buy a 1 or 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. The Ultra II would be excellent, but if you are really into video, you might prefer the faster Extreme III. These cards cost from about $25-45 at B&H and several other outlets.
Check the sample images on these pages and you'll see some macro shots. My son has the A620 and it does very well with macro work.
