Dear members I already have a sony alpha 100 DSLR camera with normal 17-72 lens, a telephoto lens 72-315 with macro which brings it to around 1 m and I use for focussing flowers on trees. For general habit and group photos I use Digicam Panasonic DMC Z53 Lumix 12X, 25 wide angle and HD movie which I use for group photos, general habit of plant, and shooting movie scenes. For photographs of twig I generally use Sony DSLR normal lens and for close ups in absence of a good macro lens, I use extension tubes 36 mm + 20 mm + 12 mm which I use in different combinations, but still miss the sharpness of macro lens. I feel inconvenient to shift between normal lens and normal lens+extension tube every time, and plan to buy a new good DSLR camera with macro lens. Could you suggest a good camera with better features and within manageable budget. Please suggest a few good one to choose from.
