Dazzla, you have Canon A70? What's the biggest resoulution you can get on those? And does it just as good, as those quality?

Macro is usually for close ups like you mentioned. You are the one who decides whether you need it or not. The G5 is a manual capable digicam so its up to you. Flowers, face close ups, coins, anything. Usually there is a limit on how far you must be from the subject; this varies from every camera.

Thanks, I think I was just trying to figure out what's the difference between normal zoom versus macro as I have never used macro before even on a film SLR camera.

Hi Pppl!

I am on the verge to make the dive and get a digital camera myself in the next two weeks. I have been following this post since the time when Keldyn got his digicam and always wanted to buy one myself. I have narrowed my choice to either the Canon A70 or the Canon A80. The Canon A80 will cost me about INR 19000 (43INR = 1USD) and the Canon A70 costs me about INR 15000. I wanted some advice on which to get. Is there a HUGE difference in .8 Mega Pixels? Can i have some sample images taken at those resolutions to compare. I seem to like the sviwel LCD that the A80 has but am somewhat hesitant to get the A80 for that only. Looking at Dazzla's images taken with an A70 makes me feel that about 80$ extra for the A80 is somewhat foolish.

What do the experts in here have to say about this? Any advice will be appreciated before I finally make the dip.

Thanks

I was in the same boat, except the price difference was even smaller. Looking back I still don't know what I would have got but like the tech lust that most of us have got once you get one you want better :D Saying that I'm really satisfied with it and would probably have gone with the same choice. With the money you save you can grab some memory, charger and batteries, case for the camera etc.

Hmmmm,

Thats exactly what I was thinking. But the bug in me says A80...A80 and I have to bang my head with a pan to keep the bug silent :p

So what you are saying is that the .8 MP will make hardly any difference and that the sviwel LCD can be compromised with?

Anyone else has any other comment?

there is quite a bit of variety in this thread. some of us like to photograph our kitties, doggies, birdies, reptiles, rodents...all are as camera-worthy as scenery and kids

[nekrosoft13]

speaking of reptiles

here is my new pet snake

only a baby right now

[Billthy]

that is bad ass nekrosoft13... my sister is getting 2 Red Eyed Tree Frogs when she can find them. every place is out

[nekrosoft13]

if you don't mind driving to Illinois i can get them for you in less then two weeks ;)

i know a place that is open twice a month, you can buy anything there, from 8ft crocks to 20ft anacondas

[Billthy]

ya she was looking around here (20 mins from Detroit) and there are places that carry them but they arent getting shipments of them. She looked online and they are all out too or they are like 50$ with 50$ shipping charge and she wont pay for that. I will have to take a picture of her rig that she has set up for them. I think it looks pretty sweet! ill take the picture tomorrow when im out of school
