Hey anyone know of a nice, decent camera, thats fairly cheap, that would be good for taking pictures of the colonies I have? I have a 5 megapixel camera but the zoom is rubbish and I only get blurred pics of the ants :(
I using normal family Olympus FE-115 and it is good ... some cameras making good photos ,but all is also on your skills
You don´t need good zoom for taking pictures of ants. What you need is a good makro or super makro option.
You can usually try out the camera at the photo store. So what you can do is take a photo of some small text on some paper. Then look at the photo on camera display and zoom on one letter on the picture. If the letter is clear and sharp and not blury or without noise than the camera is good. Of course you can always ask the camera salesman, but makro option is not something they know very well.
in deed, you need a good macro option ore even better a good macro lens. If you really want good pictures you need to buy a good camera but they are expensive, so you should find something in between. (Don't now much about cameras myself)
Actually you need a camera with manual zoom control as the auto zoom feature on the digital camera is not that good.
@Verban
I think you wanted to say "auto focus". :wink: I´ve never heard of camera with "auto zoom". :?
Manual focus would be great, but not all small cameras have it. And if they do have it you can only adjust it through menus and not manually on lense. So it is practicaly useless. :(
I have a Fujifilm Finepix S700/S5700 with 7 Megpixels. After activating the manual focus, you can change the focus with the zoom lever.
Additionally you can attach close-up lenses to the camera.
Picture quality at daytime is pretty good, but at night, it is rather mediocre. With an Iso value of more than 400, you'll get lots of distortion.
