Just wondering if the G10 is any better or worse than the G9 in macro mode?

Cheers

G9 with closeup lens 250D

Very nice. How do you like the closeup lens, and how did you light this coin?

I have two of the 250D and one 500D. I mix and match them to get the best effect for the conditons. I really just play around with them and dont take notes. Sometimes I wish I did.. LOL

I believe I just used a common incandescent lamp to light that one up. Depending on the combination of the lenses I can get farther away from the subject to provide better lighting. In fact now that I think about it, I may have possibly did a combo to get this shot with this lighting. I appologize for not being certain.
