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.

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. ;D
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! :thumbsup:

Thank, Kelly. Much appreciated. :thumbsup:
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.
