I love all the close up photos showing detail in the clearest form which the camera on my Galaxy S3 just cannot replicate.
My question is, what cameras do you use and can you show us an example photo? |

Cheers LOTABOB lol I didn't know of those magnetic lenses for the phones... I've now been on eBay and bought one! But saying that the iPhone picture quality really isn't bad at all, I got some good pictures! Only thing is I can't just buy one thing off eBay... :/
I do want a DSLR, hopefully the OH gets the hint as its nearly Christmas an all...  |

Here's a link to some photos I've taken today. Some are really bad but there are some scorchers like the plant picture

I've got some good pics but need to get them uploaded.
My budget went out of the window and I bought a Sony NEX 5N but it's worth every penny. I just got to get to grips with all the settings now! |

cash converters is a good idea, I'd cry if I took a new camera down a drain then dropped it! :D |

I dont think it really maters too much, most use different cameras and take cracking shots. |

Cash converters sounds good, but I want to buy all new and shiney :-)
I'm stuck now as my manager is heavily into photography and said stay away from Olympus and go for Sony NEX series |

I shall give you the secret to cheap Photography equipment. I studied photography and found a little known gem for picking up cheap photography kit.
Cash Converters!
When people get skint, lenses and cameras are easily put up for money, they are sold for a song. If you have one local go have a look at what they have, its second hand but its all good stuff as they dont give money out for tripe. |

From a brief look that doesnt look to bad to me interchangeable lesnes are always a bonus as like previously said lenses/lighting make all the difference and having maual/macro settings are good but would be interested to find out what the shutterspeed/ appature settings are.However i dont know much about Olymous (ive always used nikon) i know their cameras are meant to be good quality but not sure about lenses, ydo u know if other lense can be used or if have to be olymous.. However if you looking at that price would still recomend getting a DSLR, it would be a bit more but far more versitile...something like this is good (but shop around) http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-canon-eos-1100d-digital-slr-camera-body/p1523929.
IF you can it worth trying the camera out first before u buy as well so u can see what the pictures are like:) |

Oh and totally agrea with what others have said..it is more about the lense and lighitng than the body..just make sure got decent pixle count..also if you can and have time to shoot in raw mode then get programe called adobe lightroom..fa ntatsic programme makes alot of difference to pictures. |

I have a DSLR, a nikon D80 and wouldnt be without it (however, i do photography as a hobbie and have a as level in it so i need a dslr really). I love DSLR's as they are so versitile and would always recomend them. However i know how annoying i is carrying aroiund so much in a bag (i want to get a rucksack for them which are really good).
You can get some smaller versions of DSLRS if you look around and with regards to cost check out ebay argos and also warehouseexpress. can get some decent small DSLRS for about £300. |

I use a nikon D60 (its an older model) and its just an entry-level SLR...
Its more about the lens and the light tbh rather than the body of the camera (I've found anyway..)
