S230 is really just point and shoot. The A series cameras have a lot more options, manual settings. The S230 is really a great camera, but you won't take pictures, macro shots, like the one he just posted.

I don't have anything as nice as you do... but here is a few...

Pics (reduced size - server limitation)

 

[samgau]

We spent about $430 in total... Camera+extended warranty ($299+$50) + camera bag ($?) + 8 rechargable batteries/charger (~$25) + 256MB CF card ($57 @ Sams)

I have a g3... with a +4 macro lense... but my macro images suck.. bad. Is it because I need a mini tripod? Or is my camera just not good for doing macro shots? Would getting a +10 macro lense be worth it? I saw one at Lensmate for like $70.

You'll either need a tripod or a lot of light. Without one or the other more magnification won't help.

Alright thanks Lirion Heheh btw your my inspiration for doing macro photography


Does anyone have a suggestion on a good mini tripod? I don't mean to hijack this thread, so suggestions in PM would be wonderful.

Im going to have to tryout my tripod, so far I have just been taking the pics by hand.

I just thought of something, I cant use a tripod for my macro shots, when I take my macro shots the lens of my camera is only about 3in away form the subject.

Nod... what I was thinking, hence my asking for some suggestions on a good tripod ment for macro photography.

 

[imported_Papi]

A40 is great!

 

[Renob]

Ok guys we all know what lirion can do with a camera, but I would like to see some pics from some newbies.

Also if you have any good links for the newb, post them.

 

[elbirth]

If you want newbie pics, then look no further...
I just got my PowerShot G3 today (exactly 5 hours 27 minutes ago )

I've taken a few pics and got them online... everything is using auto, except for taking off flash in a couple.
My Pics

 

[paruhd0x]

Alright here are my newbie pics, I took Lirion's advice and hand held my G3 in broad daylight and came out with some neato pics (well I think they are neato )



[*]Pink Flower
[*]Pink Flower Fuzzies
[*]Yellow Flower 1
[*]Yellow Flower 2
[*]Blooming Rose

So what ya think?


(By the way, I cropped some and reduced image quality so they would not take 10 years for 56k people to download)

Oh, I've had my Canon G3 for 42 days... and I've never owned more then a point and shoot film camera before that. So I'd say I'm a newb hehehe.

 

[Renob]

[elbirth]
