BadKarma New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 07:00 am Yeah, after reading several reviews, I kinda got that idea of it being a good way to ease into digital. I always wanted to try macro but with film it can be very hit or miss and film was expensive to blow on trial and error. Anyway, thanks a ton for your help and guidance. I'll be posting more with the trial and error of tent lighting!! ;) Report this Post to the Staff

This all started as a dedicated Macro coin setup, but after reading about the versatility of this camera, I have a funny feeling this is gonna snowball on me!! ;) (is it just me or is my Nikon whimpering?)

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 12:03 pm That's straight out of the camera. I've never used an add-on lens, the reasoning being that it would not only multiply the resolution, but also multiply the optical errors and make it all the harder to get right. "Versatile" is the best word for Canon's whole Sx IS series. Nice cameras. Report this Post to the Staff
