<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zekeguzz, post: 749088, member: 15455&quot;]I just finished using my son&#039;s Canon powershot S3 IS for two weeks. It is a fine camera with macro and a thousand other settings. What I found out was the proper lighting is critical. Also I didn&#039;t have a tripod or any stable non vibrating setup so it took many tries before I had a fairly clear, clean photo. </p><p>I still not sure how to really use the macro setting because the focal distance becomes so close it shuts out all the light. So I ended up taking normal shots and used the zoom to see if I got a nice steady clean shot. I think I got one in about two hundred tries. I used everything from books to boards but nothing worked for me. </p><p>So lighting, tipod and patience are what I need. I reccomend the Canon S3 IS to anyone looking for an all around good one. Batteries are regular AA, or AAA. I think the Canon PowerShot S3 IS goes for about $300.</p><p>zeke[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
