I shot this to show the capabilities of the Oly SP570.  This was shot with no extra lenses or attachments (except tripod) on black velvet.  The actual feather size was about 1 inch.

Good job Gary

Nice detail.  Good focus.  I like this one good work!

Thanks!  Believe it or not, I was just playing around.  I had just received the Oly and was just pointing and shooting stuff.  I thought, "Hmmmmm... wonder how close I can get to that feather".  So, I stuck it on a tripod, set it to super macro and clicked it.  The REALLY funny thing is:  It received a "Photo of the Day" on Photographer's Voice.   

Good Work!

Some really nice light on that feather brings out the detail well.

Whoa, that's awesome.  Looks like it was under a magnifying glass!

Thank, Kelly.  Much appreciated. 

Great photo Gary! A good example here to show how important lighting is. That is a awsome little camera.

Thanks, Don.  Good lighting and a tripod! 

I've been agonizing for a couple years now on whether to go dSLR or not.  But, it seems each and every time I'm ready to take the plunge, I am reminded of a couple of my friends lugging around all their lenses and other accoutrements and puts things into perspective for me.  I'm a hobbyist.  I don't NEED the big guns.  I really like this camera.  It's one step below a dSLR and continually surprises me with it's capabilities.  It continues to rise to any challenge that comes along and that's all I can ask.  It does have it's limitations, of course.  But, I accept them and work around, through, or with them.
