Re: SX720/30 optics compared with SX710 for macro?

So sorry Gerard for not seeing your post for a while (I hadn't subscribed to email updates).
I take my pictures hand held and almost everyone is of live insects, like the fly in the sample.
I have perfectioned my settings and they are almost always the following 9 (I have to count them or else I forgot something...):

flash on

DIY flash diffuser

-2 dimming on flash (usually)

fixed speed choice (Tv mode)

1/400 speed fto avoid trembling

0 exposure correction

2x digital zoom (not to be too close to subjects)

macro setting

ISO 80

However the quality I get is meant to publish on the Internet, not to print them. See below more samples.

I'd love to know about your experience with your SX720...

Cheers from Rio,

Roger
