Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/12/2011 9:11 pm I used to use a 25.00 camera that is a 3.3MP JVC GC-QX3HD and I would suggest anyone that has a chance to purchase one to do so because it does really well for macro shots and about the best I have seen of any P&S for showing luster and mirrors . I know Sidekick-CA purchased the same camera and as far as I know he is pretty pleased with his as well. For 25 bucks you can't beat it. If you ever see any pictures I have posted before May of 2011 it was taken with this camera with no special lens or addons, just the camera set to the macro setting Report this Post to the Staff

ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 05/18/2011 8:27 pm Thanks for the comments, everybody. I may have mentioned it in one of the previous threads that I spent my early years as a professional photographer. At the time, I was an equipment hound and bought every gadget that was available for my Nikon. I also had a Hasselblad, a Graphlex 4x5, a Kodak 8x10 view camera (circa 1870) plus a handful of other 35mm's. Now 30 years later, I try to keep things to a minimum. One of my favorite street photographers (Henri Cartier Bresson) could shoot amazing pics with just one lense and it was an inspiration to me to accomplish the same. Report this Post to the Staff
