Hello,
I have a G12 and Inon D 2000 strobe;good-even very good ones can be made with this set,but…it has its limitations,among others,for good macro/supermacro (Unfortunately I discoverd Lembeh and am just totally bewitched by criTters)Hence,the temptation to upgrade is very strong;what could i buy for a reasonable budget for that purpose?I can figure out a Canon SLR with a macrolenses+housing and decent strobes.I am happy to pay the right price-but not at a medium sized car tag!
Can anyone help a (in hte future poorer) diver?
Thanks in advance

Good point Kathy, although in low light you can get away with TTL in aperture priority mode for macro. Alternatives like the DX-2G have TTL in full manual and better macro capability out of the box.

The problem with the S90 and all of the compact Canon cameras is that it will not support TTL when you use the manual controls. This is not a fatal limitation, but for many who want to shoot on full manual (especially for macro), the loss of TTL reduces the odds of getting that great exposure for every photo.

What do you think of the Olympus EPL-1 in an PT-EP01 casing? I need to shoot super-macro (need to get photos of the polyps of soft corals). Do you think the system is ok to do this?

Dear Scott , I would like to thank you for this useful reviews

Thank you very much for your help
