Ill be taking a lot of close ups and pictures of distant and small objects. What kind of camera do I need?
First off, consider a camera with higher resolution, because as you close in on objects, they generally lose clarity. Also consider a camera with a zoom lens. A traditional zoom will help you close in, and a digital zoom feature does pretty much the same with the help of software, although it “cheats” and crops away the unintended periphery of the image without raising the resolution on the featured object, thereby sacrificing some clarity. To help in clearly capturing small objects, look for a camera with macro capability-this feature will help tremendously and lessen the impact on resolution.
