Hi Ivan.
How well I understand your desire. I think about this too. And my heartfelt congratulations to you with this new excellent assistant.

I am sure the camera is great for some tasks and you have proved it perfectly. Great close-up of top quality. Details, sharpness and clearness of the colours are superb as well as the subject is amazing. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hi Ivan,
in terms of image quality, it's pretty impressive it has to be said! Which camera is it, may i ask? Colours, clarity, detail and sharpness are all very good.
Personally i would never stray away from my 10-20mm for landscapes, as it allows me to get as much detail and information of the scene in as possible. I normally go out to shoot with something in mind, with the right lens already fitted for the job and a second one close to hand should i spot something of interest. I guess it's a matter of personal preference at the end of the day, but i think this shot here is good enough...do you??
Hope you come to the right decision,
Paul

Extremely impressive with such a small sensor. My wife is looking for a macro setup. Maybe this might be an alternative for her? Please keep me posted on your further eperiences!

Here you have virtually no noise, great sharpness, colours and DOF. Amazing for such a small sensor. I was quite disappointed by the S3.

You have to ask? Ha! It's super. Cannot imagine how much clearer one could expect? That's a fine combination and perhaps even one of your latest best shots Ivan.

Hello Ivan,
You call this a test shot. I call this a great shot.
I read your pro and con DSLR argumentation. I was a bit surprised to view such a quality image through a Powershot.
For instance I do like the highlights in the image. And noiseless. Wonder if you used Neatimage software...?
Well done
TFS

Hi Ivan,

I have always been impressed with Ulla's G7 and if I were to get another camera it would be the G9. Of course I would never get a shot as amazing as this one of the Hoverfly. Colors are wonderful - sharp sharp details - wonderful sparkle on the wings and petals. I imagine the camera passed your test.

Test super! Anch'io uso solo le riprese macro con teleobiettivo (300 mm con il sensore Nikon D70 = 450 mm) ed è una limitazione per la maggior parte delle macro. Eccellenti POV, DOF e composizione, formidabile definizione dei dettagli, fantastici i colori con un'ottima resa di tutte le tonalità. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hola Ivan, bonita toma de gran nitidez y preciosos contrastes.
Respecto a tu viaje a Lleida ya me avisarás con antelación ya que por mi trabajo no estoy siempre aquí. Tengo dos problemas: no soy experto en aves y no se hablar Inglés :-))
aunque mi Toyota avensis es un corredor de fondo !
Te envío una web turística de mi Provincia:

Hi Ivan

Superb detail and exposure - I think I had better get one (I usually come back from a holiday with a bad back)! The focus and exposure here are great. Is the fly on hosta flowers?

Wouwwwww... Ivan my dear friend!
I do not think so taht you need any testing to take such perfect and glorious macro my friend! You are already an expert in both photography and wild life knowledge. 1st number shot as always!
TFS and warm regards,

Bayram

Good advert for the Canon PowerShot G9 Ivan. I have seen excellent shots with Canon 30d, etc with Kenko extension tubes.
But I understand what you mean, as I find just changing the lens a problem, without adding the extensions.
This is very good - very sharp and clear - I wouldn't mind it myself!!
Go for it

Hi Ivan,
After reading your notes I would say that the powershot is the answer for you. If changing out lenses and/or carrying the extra weight is not for you, the G9 is the perfect solution..I'm listing the 400D on Ebay this weekend, haven't used it much..and with a quality point & shoot, I'd be more apt to always have a camera with me wherever I go..I've missed opportunities because I left all the gear behind on short trips..Too much hassle.
Excellent hoverfly BTW :)
Have a great weekend,
Howard

I agree with you, Ivan.For someone like me, lugging all those lenses is absolutly out of question!
but why do you fault this shot? The G9's done an awesome job with you!This is as good as it could get with any other lens! What say you?
