Getting the perfect picture is very hard to do. Steady camera and good lighting is essential. Most of all a good camera that has excellent macro ability is a must have. The camera I use is a old Sony with excellent macro with 10x optical zoom. Same camera the local phoenix police used forever for their forensics shots. And you will find it even more interesting this camera's maximum mega pixel capability is 1/3rd pixel yes that is not a type-o it is 1/3r of 1 pixel. This makes the pictures very light on email attachments and web page image loading makes it perfect for forum use. The best thing I can tell you is take many many pictures of the same thing until you get just what you want. Then if need be use a simple picture editor to crop, change exposure, contrast, sharpen or degassed if it has a lot of digital noise then resharpen it again. I am a over the top perfectionist and am never happy with my pictures but do the best I can with what I have. I have a excellent new Panasonic with huge mega pixel rating and 12 times optical zoom I never use it as this Sony works fine for internet image uploads.
