Martine goes macro
I have a Konica Minolta Z6, a camera that does a great job in his range of digital cameras. Two of its options persuaded me to buy it: it has an incredible optical zoom (12x) and a very nice macro function. I just looooove both those options!
The zoom is very handy for making pictures of people without them noticing it because you do not stand very close to them. Unfortunately, but understandable, the StutterShutter policy (no recognizable people in the picture) prevents me from posting a picture like that. Luckily the macro function can often lead to StutterShutter suited pictures, like this of a beautiful butterfly!
