To all sifus,

I am wondering what sort of camera & lens are needed to achieve 200X super macro shot like the following photos?

http://amuletinfo.netfirms.com/naturcrk.html

Is the any compact camera in the market capable of capturing 1:1 photo?

Thank You!

Hi!

Those macro photos shown on the site are 200X magnified I think?

Thanks!

Canon MPE-65 can do 5:1 meaning magnifying 5x

i don't think the website is showing 200x

below is a sample which is only 1/3 of the ori file size from my 1:1 macro lens, cause i resize the photo
