I just got me a little $74 Kodak 14mp and decided to try it out. I was very surprised at the results. The subject I started with was a box of assorted insects that I threw together a week or two ago. At first glance, the photo looked quite presentable.  then I zoomed it to 100%... (I had to resize this one to make it acceptable for posting) |

I decided to crop it down to the individual bugs to show the level of detail I can get with this relatively inexpensive camera. First up are the katydids   Even these images are cut down more than 50% which lost a little of the detail. |

Next up is the spider.  I am an arachnophobe so pinning this guy was a very difficult process for me. |

When I swung my net at this little guy, I thought he was a dragonfly. It wasn't until I got it into my kill jar that I saw that it was some sort of wasp.  I didn't even have my "poor man's light box" put together to take these images. I realize that the quality of these images is not something that many of you would consider that great, but these are the the highest quality I have ever achieved. That and the fact that it is with a camera that cost less than $80 has me ecstatic. Oh, I just did a full size crop of some of the detail of the spread katydid...  |

I just realized that I forgot the cicada...  This is a little guy, maybe half the size of my others. |

The value for money even the smallest digital cameras present these days is nothing short of astounding
