Finally say... Lot can shoot with well functioning camera.. right...!!

Oh thank goodness! :)

Well, at least I like the camera talk. :-)

My two cents on non-DSLR macro-shooting: for the price, it's awesome. I prefer to use my non-DSLR set-up because I actually get a better depth of field with it, and that's such a big issue in macro photography. Many people have been impressed with the images I get with my S5 and the Raynox DCR-250. If anyone would like to see what that combo can do: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zxgirl/tags/dcr250/

Its related to non-DSLR Macro shooting information.

Micheal I continued this chat here for let users know camera information... like me... :)

Looking at that, I'm pretty sure it'll work - there's plenty of "inner lip" on the end of the lens for it to clip on to, so long as the diameter is within range.

This place says it'll work - other sites came up in my Google search as well, backing up the theory: http://www.digitaltoyshop.com/RAYNOX_DCR-250_MACRO_CONVERSION_LENS_Sony_DSC-H2_t820_4944_1 Raynox makes some other lens attachments for telephoto, wide angle, etc. While they're not DSLR-quality, they'll certainly get you closer for considerably cheaper! And I've gotten tons of compliments on the macro shots I take with the DCR-250, even from folks with DSLRs. I'd recommend it to anyone with a camera it'll fit. NOTE: it works with the zoom function (or a telephoto lens), not the macro function of the camera.

It has spring-loaded clips, so it fits pretty much anything with any amount of inner lip. I've clipped it onto the end of my telephoto lens for my DSLR. The description says, "includes a snap-on universal mount suitable for 52mm to 67mm filter size".

Heather - sorry we've thread-jacked you here with our camera discussion! Ashish - it's great, and cheap - you just clip it onto the end of the lens and it rides out there as you zoom. I took this photo of a 4mm mite with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zxgirl/6220258405/

Like to know Raynox DCR-250 lens. Is it fix or adjust on SX30IS?

Me too buy the Canon SX30IS... :)

Yeah, you can't get birds with an iPhone! I just picked up a Canon SX30 for its far reach. I can't afford to buy the equivalent (840mm) lens for a "real camera", and it does well enough. Also quite good at macros when combined with the Raynox DCR-250 lens. For several years prior to this I used an S5, which I was quite happy with but it didn't have anywhere near this reach. Both excellent for macros when combined with the Raynox, though!

Ashley thanks for sharing experience... Before August 2011 I don't own any camera, spottings done with most of SonyEricsson K790i, C903 handsets. But then lacked birds shooting.... Now have Canon camera. Love to shoot anywhere any time... :)

Understandable! Even my p-a-s that I use to take macros isn't the smallest. If you're going to get an iPhone, that should take care of it; it takes surprisingly good macros.

Ashish and Ashley, I ride a scooter to and from work/school. Space is a premium, as is theft concerns once I park. So, my big camera stays home unless I"m going to shoot pics. But...I could and should stick the little point and click in the bag...But, this might all be for naught...as I have plans to get an iphone or similar in a few months. :-)

I carry mine with me most times, too. :)

Hehehe... I started carrying camera in my office backpack on daily basis. Its a good opportunity to not to miss any good spotting meets accidentally... It is happening with me almost daily...!!

I have a good camera, but I only had my cell phone on me at that location. So, we got a fuzzy cell phone shot. Most of my pics are good camera shots.

Welcome Heather.. I stopped Cell phone clicking as got new camera. I find due to cellphone shooting we approach close to such Organisms and they get disturbed. With better zoom lens camera such shooting is very simple and get bigger images.

Thanks Ashley and Ashish. I appreciate the ID help. It was a horrible cell phone picture. I might be getting a better cell phone one of these days.

ID must be Leaf footed bug.
