Sorry I used European names - American names are 450 D (C 900)
and 620 D (1400 L) !

Thanks for your answer !

I have an Olympus D490 and I find it excellent for LEGO pictures.

A key feature is a "macro" focus mode.  This allows you to take really • clear
pictures super-close.

Make sure it has mechanical zoom as well.  The electronic zoom stinks.

The overall quality with the D490+(built-in) Flash is far better than I • got
when using an expensive Nikon 35MM camera with flood lights.

Here are some sample longshots (all of which had their resolution cut in
half for easier web viewing - The original quality was twice as good!):

Here are some sample LEGO shots (again after cutting the quality by 1/2):

You might try sending this to lugnet.publish for better response.

Hi all !

Need some help !
I'd like to buy digital photo camera to finally make pictures of my
creations .
I think I'd buy either Olympus Camedia C 900 Z or C-1400 L and acutally
I can't decide ... Does anyone know which one - of this two would be
better to make good pictures of Lego ?

Many thanks !
