Cross posted on the Macro Forum, but wanted to post here to show my my old G9 still does a pretty good job.  Stormy morning so I set up the light tent. Here are some close up firearm details. All shot with my Canon G9

That Canon still delivers the goods...as does the XD! I'm old school with revolvers, but have a Buck Mark and a Colt Match Target (.22). Cheap to shoot, very accurate.

A Buck Mark like this one with a Damascus barrel.

Very nice and the first time I've seen a Damascus barrel on a Buck Mark. Special order, approx age?

My Buck Mark.

Production model at the time, but rare. I've had it for 9 years.

Re: Firearm closeups

Nice shots Chris - just goes to show oldies but goodies with the Powershot G series.

I think you won't get any better close ups on the current crop of G7x's and G9x nor G5x as their lenses won't get as close.

Also they wouldn't give you equivalent DOF all other settings being equal with their lenses.
