\"\"The best macro camera will not only be able to deliver jaw-dropping detail close-up but will also feature good telephoto zoom capabilities. It often serves as midway between a dedicated macro lens and a zoom setup. Despite the wide angle covered by most zoom cameras, some exhibit macro capabilities which are second-to-none. Here we\u2019ll be taking a look at a range of cameras with excellent macro shot modes. From point and click 4K cameras to highly configurable professional quality options, we\u2019ve covered them all.<\/p>\n

Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 4K Point and Shoot Camera<\/h3>\n

\"Panasonic<\/a><\/p>\n

For a point and shoot 4k camera which can handle any subject in gorgeous detail without needing to swap lenses, look no further than the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 4K Point and Shoot Camera<\/a>. It has 20x zoom, 4k video with outstanding sensors and post focus, and maintains sharp macro shots with support for a range of density filters and long exposures. This is a point and shoot unlike any other. Here we\u2019ll be taking you through a closer look at the Lumix FZ2500.<\/p>\n

One cannot fault the impressive features exhibited by the FZ2500. It is far more portable than anything in its class while remaining superior in terms of versatility. The body could easily be confused for a DSLR, clearly hinting towards the quality of this fixed lens camera. Professionally it is known as a bridge or mega-zoom camera, sporting dual control wheels, countless shortcut buttons, a mode dial, burst mode, and a zoom ring. Controls are conveniently situated atop the camera for the most part, while each of these seven function buttons can be completely customized. The FZ2500 also comes with a hot shoe for those who would prefer an external flash.<\/p>\n

At the rear, a flip-out tilt screen gives easy access to all of the onscreen controls, while the electronic viewfinder works equally as well. Seven frames per second are given in burst speed shooting mode with autofocus continually on, and you\u2019ll capture a minimum of 30 RAW files or 100 JPEGS before pausing to process them.<\/p>\n

With its 20x telephone zoom lens, the macro mode is nothing short of outstanding. The camera has quality good enough to shoot the fine detail found in snowflakes. It lets you focus on objects which are as close as 1.2-inches from the lens at a 20x zoom, and a maximum of 3.3 feet away at max zoom.<\/p>\n

When you combine the great lens with the reliable focus and a feature termed Focus Stacking, you get macro shots which are among the best. This innovative option combines multiple images taken at varying focal lengths. The merged image is far sharper but has a wider depth of field.<\/p>\n

Both amateurs and professionals are capable of vivid macro images thanks to this and the brilliant sensor capable of working perfectly in bright and low-light conditions. The Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 4K Point and Shoot Camera<\/a> comes at a premium price, but if you can afford it, you’re guaranteed spectacular shots and long-lasting service.<\/p>\n
