heh... not many people are determined enough to take a close-up flash-photo of their own eyeball. i had to do about 20 of 'em before i got one that i thought was good enough to use as a reference for this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2788796/

hehe. yeah. Wasn't exactly easy. Had to angle it slightly so that the flash would actually get where I needed it to be. But thankfully, Canon cameras are pretty great with its macro capability. I can get some seriously close in shots with it. Currently using a Canon PowerShot A630. Really need a new one though. The flash isn't wanting to work a lot of the time now. I'm assuming it's a loose connection or a problem with the capacitor. But either way, I don't know enough to fix it on my own, really and it's not worth it to spend the money to fix it.

my current one's a PowerShot A1000 IS. it's pretty good, but it only does 4x optical zoom >..<

i'm definitely gonna get the 12x optical next time >..<

I know what you mean. I'm likely going to be getting a superzoom camera next when I can afford it. Somthing with at 'least' 20x zoom. If I had the money, I'd go for a dSLR, but even entry level models are at least $500 without the lens. And while I 'love' the quality a dSLR has to offer, I just can't afford one of those right now. At least with a superzoom, I get the range and some functionality of a dSLR and still have 'decent' quality for a good price.

can't agree more. i'm prolly gonna have to ask for a new camera for my next hatchday >..<
