Or lack thereof.
My usual Canon SD800iS point & shoot camera is in my daughter's hands, using it for selling off some junk at my mom's home so we can put in a second bathroom that house has long needed.
I used my old Nikon D200 digital SLR with the Micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8 macro lens. With the larger imaging chip and longer focal length lens, you get that. Exposure was 1/80trh sec @ f4.5 with ISO set to 800 in high res JPEG mode. Anything less it would be a blur, as my tripod is at the shop and I shot it at home.
Newer DSLR's can shoot at much higher ISO ratings without noise, and would be capable of greater depth of field from a smaller f-stop at the same shutter speed.
I need to start using that thing more, and perhaps upgrade to a newer camera body that can take HD video.
