I am finding that the Sony RX10 is also filling the gap left by (the bad move) I made trading in my D300 & 18-200 DX lens when I got my D800. The above flower pix is amazing quality from the Sony and part of the reason is the Zeiss lens is pin sharp even at f2.8 but also macro photography as we know is very hard to get enough depth of field. The depth is amazing in this pix but the 8.8mm lens is a great help and f5.6 is giving all you need. With my Nikon D800 and 105mm Macro lens I would have needed to use f22 or f16 for the same shot! I think Sony have been able to do a lot of R&D development work with small CMOS chips in their very high quality pro and high end pro/am range of camcorders. They are now using this in the new range of compact and DSLR still cameras.

For a long time I used a good compact camera for macro work precisely because the smaller sensor gave greater depth of field...and frankly adequate images compared to my DSLR. My wife takes flower macro shots on her video camera, specifically because of the margin for focus error she gets with the enhanced dof of these even smaller sensors.

Funny that... Occasionally I even go to the extent of using my 300 f2.8 wide open to reduce the DoF, I usually seek to isolate the flower from it's surroundings which sometimes requires a short DoF.  Eric wrote: Graham Whistler wrote:

Surroundings yes...but I prefer to see whole blooms in focus rather than a couple of petals. That needed f8-11 on the D3/105mm. With DX and compact size sensors that could go to f5.6. Robert wrote: Funny that...

The Sony,s chip is quite small at 13.2x8.8mm but this still gives 20.9 Megapixels and produces images like this! Attachment: PoppySeed0110.jpg (Downloaded 57 times)

Other info for above: 1/320 sec (windy day but full sun) f7.1 at 47.9mm (in 35mm 130mm) ISO 200 image size 5472X3648. Exposure with this camera: matrix meter is spot on 99% of time. This pix is almost as shot but some unsharp mask was used. Auto focus was aimed 1/3 way in. At A3+ image is pin sharp and I would be hard pressed to see a better print from any Nikon DSLR! Sorry to go on about this but this is very much what is going on with new lower end cameras today.

I am enjoying some very good weather in Provence in the South of France. The little Sony is doing well but you will be pleased to hear I am also using the D800. This view of the dramatic Nesque Gorge is with the Sony at full wide the depth of field is very good. Attachment: Nesque0154s.jpg (Downloaded 40 times)
