My lumix has a macro setting, but the results are definitely unreliable. That's why I started looking into this, I have to take 25 pics to get one that is usable. So I figured a little intel from the gals of beauty tech might help with the decision. I felt that the dslr canons were too much camera for my limited knowledge, but the newer compact pros like the Nikon 1F1 might be the step up from point and shoot. Part of my problem is getting the lighting right and I think the lens options are supposed to make a difference with that.
I find on my fb page that I get really good activity when I post a great pic. So that's my goal. I would really appreciate hearing more opinions.
