>>After seeing a few super crisp close up pictures on one of the forums I started reading about cameras and techniques on this and other photography forums. I even drove to a couple of the big retail shops to get a feel for a few.
>>
>>The problem is now my head is spinning with all this new information and or misinformation and I am having a tough time sorting it all out.
>>
>>So I am hoping; no praying that you all will point me toward two or three cameras to choose from.
>>
>>Here is what I would like to be able to accomplish with my new camera. I understand that a big part will be me learning the techniques and developing the skill.
>>
>>Take professional looking close up pictures of my herps and their offspring to place on my web site.
>>
>>Pictures will be taken indoors and out.
>>
>>Accurate color representation is important, speed is not.
>>
>>I am a little shaky when I am excited so Image Stabilization is a must for photographing births/hatchings.
>>
>>Size and weight is not an issue as I am not looking for something that will fit in my pockets.
>>
>>I am a novice so auto functions with a little room to grow would be nice. I am to old to start a new career, so I don't need to much room.
>>
>>I don't have a specific budget and like everyone would like to get the most bang for the buck. I would like to stay under $750. to start.

Does any one have any first hand knowledge of this camera in relation to herp photography? Would I want a macro lens for quality shots of hatchlings? If so which would you recommend.
