Budget Camera Recomendation

<< < (10/13) > >>

Electro Detective:
I didn't want to get into the reverse ring and lens thing, or close up lenses, tubes,
bellows and adapter size to size, lighting and vignetting issues

I assumed OP wants a fast cheap fix for reasonable close ups and standard photography, which is what I use as previously commented,

and I leave the 'better methods' for when necessity arises and set up time permits

admiralk:
This is the Video I watched.


He uses that same barrel in one shot. If I need to pick up a few doo-dads, which I most likely will, I will probably throw in a ring to give it a try. I think for now a good clear closeup is all I will need.

magic:
By the way, I forgot to mention the following regarding output formats:

JPGs from cameras are maybe 3x to 4x smaller than raw files. Not much loss of information.
Uncompressed TIFFs are 2x to 3x larger than raw files. Definitely waste of storage space :P

Depends if you need the extra channels or not.  A camera can save each colour channel separately for example.  TIFF does also support compression. 

It's more common in post-processing allowing you to save multiple channels/layers and processing information with the file so that changes can be undone later.

admiralk:
My theory is that you can always make it smaller, but you cannot make it bigger. For example, I record audio at 24/48 into separate channels. After mastering, I render it to 16/44.1 stereo for playback. I am going to have to process an image anyway; crop, resize, whatever, so why not start with more than I need.
