thanks a lot Peter. many photographers i trust, say the lighting is extremely important when it comes to jewelry photography.

The lighting is EVERYTHING. If you have enough good white light, then a compact camera will do. However, a used DSLR would save you some money.

What Would Ansel Do?

Now that we know he is going to use this camera for online images, he could even buy a used older camera like a Nikon D1 and a manual focus 55mm f3.5. This could be cheaper than a new point a shoot with MUCH better images. He could get a free version of Capture 4.1 to process the images too.

But for the web, it wouldn't show up much when the images are 800 pixels across. Only photographers would notice the difference.

thanks a lot man!

i love your scenario but i wait for feedback for the fz35 i need to know if i can get the same performance as with your fuji and the flicr doesnt helps much cause most of the impressive macros are shoot with extra lenses

best regards!

I saw the new about fires in Greece. Hope you and your family are safe and sound.

Meanwhile, I'll be interested to see some FZ35 pics. I'm sure the quality will be as good as the Fuji.

Best regards,
Jim

Photographers take pictures, not cameras.

sorry seems i missed some interesting posts from other users and wanted to thank them for their efford to help me!

when it comes to the fires, they are taking place in the mainland very far away from me and thanks very much, i am safe but they remind me the last years fire which was so strong and burnt more than the half of my islands forests.

there are no casualties so far but many families have lost their homes and our stupid government (probably the worst of the last 50 years) does nothing
