Some of you post amazing close ups of flowers and panoramic views of
gardens. What camera do you sure?
I listened to an experienced photographer some 2 years ago and got a Fuji
finepix 602 but it is incredibly complicated for what I want to do , what
with macro switches, manual controls, close up and fast and slow speed
settings etc. It is also heavy and quite bulky though I have no doubt to
an experienced photographer it is the Bees Knees.

Would like to get a new camera (flog the old one - we're not a 2 camera
household!) something I can use on flowers plus getting panoramic views of
gardens and our club shows etc to put in the newsletter. (As Editor and
printer I have to resort to drastic measure sometimes to get content for
the pages!)

Brother suggest a Panasonic dmc tz3 and the original friend who is also
photographer says to consider a canon umix 750

Any recommendations?

Janet I don't think you need a new camera. I don't know how much mine
differs from yours, but I have the 610 and can do anything with it. Close up
of a Butterfly, long distance shots when I am cruising. I actually bought it
when we went on our Round the World Cruise last year.

I do shots of reunions and put them on the web site and do video as well.

I feel sure it is a case of getting used to it and using it more.
