In Reply to: Best P&S for Photographing Flowers Closeup posted by Albert Klee on July 25, 1999 at 07:19:07:
: I would like viewers' opinions on the following question: What point and shoot 35mm cameras would you recommend for obtaining closeup photographs of flowers? I am an experienced 35mm SLR photographer, and use reflectors/diffusers to add/subtract light so built-in flash is not an issue. Assume the P&S is used on a tripod. I am interested in the greatest possible magnification, using the camera's automatic focus. Many thanks.
I don't know which is the best point and shoot for extreme
close-ups of flowers, but I think with any camera which uses a
separate viewfinder for framing the photo, you will have parallax
problems with extreme closeups; by this I mean what you see
through the viewfinder will not be what the separate lens will be
seeing, hence you will not end up with the photo you so carefully
frame, unless you figure out how to compensate for the parallax.
