Apr 7, 2013 at 9:16 comment added user2719 "Macro" means more than just 1:1 reproduction; it has historically meant the range between 1:4 and 4:1 (where "micro" takes over). And even that meaning becomes fuzzy where small sensors are concerned; pedantically true macro on a 1/2.3" sensor would be silliness for its own sake. (And let's not forget that ISO 1600 is pretty much just another setting these days, not a tragedy.)
Apr 7, 2013 at 3:16 comment added Joanne C Either that or you should break this into two questions.
Apr 7, 2013 at 3:16 comment added Joanne C My feeling is that the answer might be different when you discuss true macro subjects as opposed to flowers. When you're going 1:1 or better, light volume becomes much, much, more important. The title seems misleading in that respect.
Apr 7, 2013 at 3:13 comment added damned truths JoanneC: Yes, lots of the time. I also do use other subjects.
Apr 7, 2013 at 3:10 comment added Joanne C Not sure I'd call this macro if the focus is flowers. Are you working with 1:1 sizes?
