ANOTHER new camera? What is this new one? It certainly has great sharpness in macro mode.

Buzz, It's a Nikon D7100 and it is beyond belief; the lower of the two butterflies was shot at ISO 1250! And the top image ISO 6400!

I just got the camera yesterday so I'm still going through the menu items and setting. I'll probably post more shots tomorrow.

They all seem to have a very narrow depth of focus . It is impressive to be able to defocus the backdrop like that .
I thought that high ISO numbers were only for low light conditions ... but I guess they also permit rapid shutter speeds .

Petey, The shallow depth of field enables the subject to "pop" out at the viewer. It's true, the high ISO settings allow the sensor/or film to gather more light in low-light conditions, but, the higher settings also allow for faster shutter speeds -- a real plus when taking wildlife shots and i.e. your trying to stop the fluttering a a butterfly's wings.

The disadvantage of using the high ISO (ASA) settings has always be image graininess (noise), but some of the newer technology incorporates algorithms to minimize that.

Superb, AMac! I was going to guess another Canon...the greens always seemed to be the way I could tell the difference between the two cameras. At any rate, I love the color hues.

They are beautiful. Have plenty of them in my garden. Another reason to be happy to come home
