Was hard to shoot with good lighting, so this is the best I could get.

I have a PS G7 and I am surprised and then again not surprised to see that it held up this well in the close up of a hover fly. Amazing what that little camera can accomplish when in the right hands. :D

Thanks guys.

Haha, thanks Ken. It is great fun to use, and I am always being suprised by the pictures the camera can take.

Thanks Troy - yeh, I was surprised by the detail in the crop. I posted it as the original image is only resized, and it would be a fair comparison to the image.

Thanks for the nice comments! :)

Nice shot, looks like it's lost a few eyes too...

I did indeed. After seeing your superb shots with the MSN 202, I had to get one. :)

MM did you get any of the other raynox or just the 202 as the 150 is good for larger insects as is the 250.

I have had the DCR-250 for some time now, but it is not great for larger insects like butterflys, because it magnifies the shot too much. I may consider the 150 as it sounds ideal for some of the larger bugs that are about in the summer. :)
