Re: Small sensor Powershot for macro photography

I have no hot-shoe on the S120, and have never used flash in any of my macro photography. Instead I use constant LED lighting, typically with home made diffusers over the lights. It's an effective workaround and I currently use a pair of Q8 's for static subjects (this means I always have a pair of really powerful flashlights around the house, too!). These lights have variable-output switches which makes for very interesting lighting possibilities. I mount them on mini Pixis from Manfrotto for table-top work. Other lights can be used similarly, obviously.

Some of the coolest things in life are really, really small.
