My 5 Minutes

Technology seems to have gone in leaps and bounds.

This morning I was playing with a Canon PowerShot SX100 that we got for someone at work to take quality assurance pictures. They were specifically looking for Macro shots and this seemed to be about the best in the batch of "point-and-click" type cameras we looked at.

At a price tag of R2.5k it's not particularly expensive but damn this little thing does well!

Check out a couple of these hastily made macro shots for an idea: (click for bigger)

Pretty damned good neh? And the macro focus distance is around 1cm or less
