Macro mode
We changed our Macro test. The subject is no longer a flower but a electronic component board. The photo is made without flash and as close as possible depending on the camera’s capabilities. We include the extract below without resizing.
Acer CR-8530
Acer CS-5530
Canon Ixus 50
Casio EX-S500
Fujifilm Finepix Z1
Kodak ES-V550
Konica Minolta Dimage X60
Nikon Coolpix S1
Olympus FE-5500
Panasonic DMC-FX8
Sony DSC-T7
Canon already provided great results for speed, but the macro mode is even more impressive. The image is extremely precise and an exceptional result. This is followed by the Acer 8 megapixel, proof of the manufacturer’s fast progress between the release of the cheap but not very interesting CS-5530 and CR-8530,
once again – the Fujifilm Z1,
the Olympus FE-5500,
the Panasonic DMC-FX8.
One step behind are three cameras; the Konica Minolta X60, Sony T7 and Kodak V550. Those left behind are the Casio EX-S500, the Nikon S1 (again) and the Acer CS-5530 (even if it is a little better than the previous two).
