agreed with those who said that this is jus a phone camera. even with a DSLR and a stock lens wun get you anything at 3cm with poor lighting... u're jus pushing e lens too much. manual focus might help but not for e kind of macro shots tt (i believe) u expected.

i'm not a professional camera-user, but a normal casual one. i mean, i know about dedicated pro-camera equip (like macro- or zoom-lenses), but i didnt know that expensive (semi-)professional cameras need to have extra equip for macro (and propably for other features as well) and are not capable of these things from start.
but i guess thats normal because that makes those cameras so customisable.

you cant get closer than 45 cm to take sharp pictures?
this cant be right. your camera is a semi-professional camera, isnt it?
i have a samsung wb550. the closest distance i can get to is around 4 to 5 cm. when i get closer, the camera doesnt focus and the pic will get blurry. but on around 4 to 5 cm, the pictures are still dead sharp.
and my camera is very old top of the line pro model and the objective is "classic normal objective", aka the most common build and magnification value to slr. it was brought up just for showing the perspective. so if you buy 5000eur frame plus 2000eur objective, you cant shoot what you can with.n900's camera. (of course with post processing you know why you used your 7000eur.....)
