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

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.

I have a Fuji finepix 5700 and would have to agree with the above, I
generally leave it set to Auto but I use the two macro settings a lot for
close ups and its a lot better than my previous camara a Kodak. Best
thing I did was put a 1gb card in it so I have it on the highest quality
setting and can still do several hundred pictures which means I always
take several shots using different settings and then discard all but the
best!

Hi Janet,
I have just bought a Fuji FinePix 5600 (refurbished --
http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/shop/refurb/shop.php ) for a very good
price.
It is in a different league to my old Olympus C-700.
With the new camera you can use macro to around 5 ft, and wit 10x
optical zoom it's a nice thing, geting used to it before going out to
Egypt and Jordan next year.
If you are havihg problems with your camera why not contact your local
