Best type of camera for taking up close pics of grows?? My iphone does not capture the tricombs very well but a lot of you do so what should I buy to get some good shots, budget 300 or less.
Thanks

are you looking for a simple point and shot or something a lil more advanced that will also give you more options down the line like a dslr ??
you can get a quality dslr for around $500 or maybe a lil less like a canon rebel, and can even update to much better lenses and stuff at a later time if you really get into it and want to get more advanced.. with a point and shot, what you got is what you got, even though you can get decent quality pix from a top of the line ...

if you just want a camera to take bud pics you can get one of those usb cameras. they sell them cheap at places like radioshack. maybe $50 for a decent one. you want something that is like 15-85x. that will let you take nice closeups but also zoom out a little bit to get full bud pics. won't let you take plant pics though. you need a computer with a usb port. some of the nice ones you can take pics with the camera and then hook it up to the computer.

Going to get a tripod as well for sure but realy just want to be able to post good photos and save good photos for my grow logs. But for sure I want to be able to zoom in on the tricombs and get that sparkle look.

canon powershot.
its awesome for taking pics of pot with the macro feature. and canon lenses rock. 80 bucks or so will get ya a pretty sweet one, and leave ya with cash in your pocket. get one, a bigger memory card, and your set. im on my 3rd powershot, they kick ass for most photos, easy to use, and good warranties.

what i did was look around at some grow journals on this site for pix that catch your eye, and when you find what you like, simply pm the poster and ask what camera they're using..
i found that almost everyting looks good on google or amazon or w/e you are shopping, but the real proof is in the pudding so to speak..

also by looking at grow journals on here, you get a good idea of how the camera will work in the same kind of environment for the most part as what you'll be using it in and also the same images for the most part..
some camera's are say better at landscapes or outdoors or vice versa, so by seeing how they take pix of ganja, you'll get an idea of how they will work for what you intend on using them for imo..

Another good point, closed in room with hps or t5s depending on the cycle, also only green light bulbs for normal light in that room so my pics look weird. The green light bulbs is for when I get too stoned and leave the lights on in the grow room. lol

lol, i know you never do that...
I go in there to say good night and sometimes hang out and talk about their day and mine, one thing leads to another, maybe read them a story and the next thing you know it is morning. Easy to do when all is well.
