Last night, I downloaded garden photos that I took over the weekend from my Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital ELPH, and was disappointed at most of the photos… most of which were of Coleuses. The photos were either blurry or the colors seemed really flat. I’m not sure if my camera is dying, if there was not enough light or if I was out of the macro focus range.

I’ve done some research and decided to buy a new camera with better macro capabilities. I came up with the Canon PowerShot A610. It’s minimum focus distance is 1cm, as opposed to my SD100’s focal range of 10-47cm, so hopefully I can get really close and capture those fine details. Plus, I won’t have to fix most of my photos in Photoshop before posting.
