I find the Food Macro on my Nikon will do a max zoom. then I just line up the shot and it will refocus to it. But I'm no pro by any means.

Been playing with the new fixed focal length lens and am really beginning to enjoy it:
Used the auto focus, F1.8 at 1/125 under a dual halogen light source. The only adjustments I made were a slight bump in brightness and contrast in the photo editor.

I used my Nikon D3, on a tripod, teathered to my MacBook with a 15-foot USB cable, and used Sofortbild software to control the camera. The light source is a 300 WS strobe, in a 24X36 softbox. I used reflector cards for fill (two white mat boards taped together). The Camera and flash were connected wirelessly by a PocketWizzard remote system. They make wireless systems to connect the camera to the laptop, but wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost. If I were getting paid to do this shot, I would put a whole lot more time into staging it. I just tossed this together, and I can see all kinds of things wrong with it. But, since I am too cheap to pay myself for my work, fark it. CD |

I really want to get some strobes to start learning that soon. And a softbox or two to go with them!

Dang. My 2 year old Canon S100 decided that the lens doesn't want to work anymore and just 5 days before the extended warranty ran out (good thing I entered the Dagwood TD).
So the Geek Squad just called to tell me that they can't fix it but would exchange it or give me store credit (not sure how much). Since they don't make the S100 I figure a comparable replacement would be the S110 or S120 or I can upgrade to a G16 or G1. Anybody have an opinion or advice on which way I should go or is there a different point and shoot I should consider.

Have you thought about an entry level rebel? On full auto(green) Its a nice point and shoot with probably more versatility than either one mentioned. On Manual, you can have infinitely more control if and when you want it.
Even the low end rebels are great cameras. The trick isn't how nice the body is, it's how nice the lens is. I spend way more for good glass than I do for bigger chips. Now a days, the chips are all too big for practical applications, ESP web. Whatever you buy, don't get hung up on megapixel size. Anything over 10-12 is more than you'll probably need.
