Taking pictures

[Tripe46]

I was actually just about to start a thread about this, good thing I looked first. What kind of cameras/settings are people using? I have a Kodak 7mp thats a few years old that is horrible at taking close up pics especially of the frogs. Most times my iPhone works better but compared to a lot of other pics I have seen here mine are pretty bad.

I use a fairly old Kodak digital camera. My pics aren'tprofessional quality but I think they look ok

I wondered that too about the flash bothering them. Maybe since my tree frog was wild caught, she just thinks its lightning! I have an Olympus FE-340 but I dont particularly care for the quality of the photos. I take a lot of pictures of birds and havent been impressed with the outcome. I would like to get a Canon powershot after seeing some of the pictures on here using that camera.

I try not to use flash, but mostly just because I think the pictures turn out better that way, especially if you take the picture inside the terrarium. A strong overhead light is better, I think. I have a Nikon D40 SLR, but I used to have a Canon SD750, and I think it took just as good, if not better, close-up shots when I used the digital macro setting. That camera stopped working shortly after I got my SLR, so I didn't replace it, but I'm thinking I might get another, just because it was so good.
