Canon Powershot A640 10.0 Megapixel Digital Camera
Canon Powershot A640 10.0 Megapixel Digital Camera



 We love this little camera, an amazingly good package for the money, with a 1cm macro close focus distance and a host of manual controls that work excellently.

It also has a fantastic swivel screen (a feature of the A640) which is enormously useful when you're down in the dirt under a bush trying to get a jewel dewdrop on a petal...

If natural colours and a film like quality are really inportant to you when taking flower pictures then we cannot recommend Fuji S3 Pro highly enough. It handles highlights, whites better than any other camera on the market in our opinion, with the closest feel to film that one can get in the digital world.

Yes, the body is slow compared to the competition, the buffer is not great and shooting RAW files tries ones patience if one attempts to shoot too fast but the image quality, THE IMAGE QUALITY, is exceptional and combined with the new Micro-Nikkor 105mm lens we're at a loss for words to describe how great this combination is!

We love this camera! And it sits in your hand like a Pro camera should.


 

105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Close-up Lens

I recommend the longer focal length macro / micro lenses, like the 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Close-up Lens, are the ones I prefer from a creative point of view.

They flattens the background far more than the shorter focal length lenses and if ultra close-up macro digital photography is what you want then the new Micro-Nikkor 105mm lens is one of the greats!

Not cheap but smooth, sharp and wonderful to use. Enjoy!

Why these Digital Cameras?


The digital cameras and lenses we have chosen reflect our views on affordable but good quality digital cameras..Digital Point & Shoot / Digital SLRS with macro lenses as opposed to the best of the best of everything which are out of reach money wise for most people.

Our greatest recommendation to any budding flower photographer is "spend the money on the lens not the camera body" if money is tight. The optics will deliver the results far more strongly than the functionality of the body. In a perfect world where money is not a problem buy both, but start with the lens!
