Thanks, i have heard the Panasonics are not bad, bit grainey in macro and low light i hear.
JDM what is you cannon like for macro? the olympus has a super macro function, 3cm i think.
Does anyone no what has replaced the olympus 8080?
I am trying to decide on what camera to buy. I have looked at heaps and come up with my top 4.
Cannon Powershot S3IS
Olympus SP510 uz
Sony Cybershot DSC-H2
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7
Would be great to have some feed back or other camera options. My top pick at the moment is the cannon.
Looks like the magnet has completly gone?
There other metals in magnets that could cause problems.
Here are a few types.
Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB or NIB)
Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
Alnico
Ceramic or Ferrite
Not sure what magnets eheim use, maybe an email to them is in order
