Re: Digital Cameras

Jan

I am very interested in your reply to this query as I too am
'considering' the purchase of a digital but am unsure as to the actual
advantages over my conventional camera gear. I would love to see one of
your photos so that I could gauge the quality of production.

As a separate question: do you know if any digital offers the ability to
undertake macro-photography - real close up stuff such as insects etc.??

Cheers.
