SP-550UZ Macro shots: Tape measure, Altoids, a quarter, and an xD card, all shot with the lens nearly on top of the item -- which explains the poor lighting in some like the Altoids tin. It's tough to shoot something when the lens is almost completely covering it. The "no-is" xD shots had I.S. disabled; the cropped versions show the difference I.S. makes, as I was hand-holding the camera for all of these. No post processing on any of these, all images shot in "Auto" and "super macro". http://lemkeville.smugmug.com/Photography/Camera-Comparisons/Compare-Macro/P3110111/135363487_pLWbq-Ti.jpg http://lemkeville.smugmug.com/gallery/2571647_j4UHo/ 2007-03-11T15:28:08Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
