|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Macro Photography with a Point and Shoot? Nick Doan, Photographer, Assistant Scottsdale | AZ | USA | Posted: 3:14 PM on 09.04.09 ->> Can anybody recommend a good camera for macro photography? The last time I did serious macro photography I was shooting plants and such for text book photos using a Sony Cybershot camera in 2003. I found it much easier than putting a 50mm or 100mm macro on my regular camera. Now I'm looking at shooting small mechanical (and electronic) parts for reference material...so any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Easy to use, very sharp. Would work great in a tabletop shooting setup.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

My G9 (similar to G10) shoots nicely in macro. Of course, I can mount a pocket wizard on the hot shoe to fire studio strobes, etc.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It also has a hotshoe and works with pocket wizards. Actually, the LX3 is pretty darn great camera all around!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
