Hi Jimmy.
Is use my Kyocera Finecam SL300R (3,2 Megapixel, 3x zoom lens, f=5.8 - 17.4mm ..... i dont knwo what the last thing say but i write everything down displayed on my digital cam).

She is al little bit older and the pictures are sometimes.......bad :grin:
But when you try it a few times then she makes photos. Not the best but she makes some :grin:

You can see some photos from me here if you want.

Sure. When you have to zoom in for a little ant i have to switch to another. But im not an.....uhm.....i dont know the english word :D (für Deutsche: Profipotograph)

nice pictures, I have a medion 6.0 megapixels and a 6x zoom, the pictures are the same like yours but when i want to take a picture of an ant Like Santa Claus the camera is not good enough. :(

Yeah. I think if i have to zoom in for a single ant my camera loose, too.....

But is say to me: good pictures where you can see what you want to show or present others is better than no picture. Like an proverb say: "better THAT than nothing" (i hope the sense is the same like in german :lol: )

Hi guys,

I don't want to insult anybody, but your photos are horrible! :wink: No close ups, they are blury and unclear... My photos are the same. Becuase I too use small camera with insuficent lense for shooting ants. :cry:

What you need for a good photo is a DSLR camera with a macro lense. With 100 - 200 mm for a nice close up. The problem is that you probably need about +2000 € for buying lower medium quality equipment. :shock:

Hmm....i find my pictures (ok the pictures from the Nest is unclear) ok. I cannot make close up pictures but thats ok. Im not an big photograph....

Hi,

I´ve got a Canon DSLR, a EOS 30D with a Canon EF-S 60mm Makro, this combination is good to take Makro´s i think you can by this for about 1300-1400€

a good compact cam for macros is the Rico R5, its around 270€.

i took all of my macros (http://www.heldhome.de/ants) with a DSLR. you have to spend at least 1000€ for a DSLR +lens to make good macros.

greetings

The pictures are REALLY good! :shock:
I think i can youst dream oft pictures like this, because i dont want to buy me a new digicam only for macrophotos.....
Especially not for over 1000€ :grin:

@ Summiter

I'm not sure where did you buy the camera you mentioned so cheep. Canon Eos 30D costs from 1200 to 1400 € and the Canon EF-S 60mm Makro lense is around 400 €.

Maybe I should look some foregin shoops too. I'm sure I could found lower prices but I don't think the price would be lower than 1400 €. :?

@purifier

Look at some really nice photos on this forum then you will know what I think is a good photo. :D
