I'm very interested in your photography techniques!

What are the zoom and macro capabilities of your Nikon, if I may ask?  I'm
looking for a good digital camera that can handle objects closer than the
standard 10 inches.

Well, I went out and got a digital camera today...finally. It came down • to
the Sony Mavica FD83 and the Nikon Coolpix 800.  (Castle readers, don't • worry,
there _is_ a reason this is in the group.)

Both cameras were great - the Sony especially is very friendly and easy • to use
- but I decided to go with the Nikon's higher resolution (1600x1200) and • a
feature set that was more likely to be useful to me.

Anyway, I'm very pleased with my choice, and I've put up a couple of • pictures
I took tonight at my LEGO site.  (The address is in my .sig.)  The pics • are of
some modified minifigs I made a month or so ago, inspired by the Final • Fantasy
series of games.  (I figured Castle was the most appropriate LEGO theme.) • I'm
really pleased with how they turned out (both the figs and the pics.)

On the page, I included some basic information on the photography • conditions -
lighting and such - is this sort of stuff helpful to people?  Should I
continue
to include it in other MOC sections I put up?  Or is it just more useless • info
cluttering up the page?  Is there other information that would be • helpful?
Distance from camera to figs, ISO eqivalent of the picture, that sort of • thing?
If there is, let me know.

(...) Well, let's see...the CP800 has a 2x optical zoom and a 2.5x digital zoom. When I took those pics, I was basically holding the camera about 4" away from the 'figs. I haven't really checked exactly how close you can get and still focus, though. (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I have the Coolpix 950 and love it. It does 3x optical zoom (and some sort of digital zoom, which is mostly useless unless you're really short of space on your memory card and need a cropped shot) and the macro mode is 0.8 inches to infinity. (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.publish)
