Re: macro ability of sx620 and sx720/30/40

Imo u are going down the wrong path looking at these models for macro especially at night. The 1/2.3 sensor is not what u want. My sx730 does ok in very strong light for macro but there are much better options for macro. Look for 1” sensor models or larger with a good lens. I pasted some examples from my g7xii for examples below.

If u are really planning on shooting at night you might also consider a used full frame dslr plus inexpensive used macro lens. That may be out of your budget though at around $700.
