How can I take clear close up photos using a canon powershot digital camera?

I used to have a Vivitar digital camera that took absolutely pristine, crystal clear photos of small items such as postage stamps & currency. I now have a canon powershot a480, & no matter what I try, the close up shots are just not clear. I've tried using the Super Macro setting to no avail. Is there some setting I should be selecting? any help is truly appreciated. Thanks


Answer
Make sure the lens is the proper distance from the object. most cameras macro setting requires a distance of 1 foot or slightly more. My sony is 1.3 ft. Then use a tripod for really good ones.

Canon digital camera and other non canon lens?




Ms.Matashi


I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and I was wondering what other kinds of non canon brand lenses can I use with my camera? Currently I use a Canon 50mm 1.8 and the 18-55mm kit lens.


Answer
Some lenses to consider are those from Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina. On average, each lens does not do as well as their Canon or Nikon counterparts, but still get the job done. If you want quality, get Canon lenses. If you want a cheap alternative, go to the third party brands.

As for specifics, I use a Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 at the moment, but am going to upgrade to a 70-200mm VR once I save up enough money. The Tamron is good for the money, but slow to focus. I hear this also plagues the type with the built in motor.

The type of lens you want depends on the type of shooting you're going to do. If you shoot landscapes, look into a wide angle lens, such as the Sigma 10-20mm or Tamron 17-50mm. For telephoto zoom, the 70-200mm f2.8 Tamron would be a good option. I don't care too much for the Sigma, because there are issues with the outer coating. For portrait work, I've heard good things about the Tamron 90mm macro, or the Sigma 70mm macro. I have not used Tonkina, but some people say they are good, while others do not. I guess the same goes for Sigma, but not so much with Tamron.
