50/50 here

( - 12/14/05)

I like the lightness of this camera...I hate the heavy cameras...and I don't like to use or lug tripods around all the time (before you ask, I already invested in a mini tripod) and I have been using the anti-shake mode alot. I find I have difficulty with the macro...I get good shots, but NOT the detail I would like for a macro shot...I want SHARP DETAIL in the folds of flowers, insects, etc. I recently was doing macro shots of bees and by the time the camera (macro mode) focused in...Mr. Bee had flown away. I'll read the manual again and see if I am doing something wrong, but I don't think so. I will have to give credit though, I have gotten some fantastic distance shots, not as close as I would like, and the auxiliary telephoto lens only takes you so far and at times captures more in your framing than you would like, but still good. I think my biggest problem is the delay in focus...and sometimes when working with F stops (A mode or M mode) it focus in, and then goes blank in the viewfinder. BIG question, YES good camera, not heavy, good photos...Focus delay.
