No problem, Just get that D40 from Magic Pie (not to be confused with the Canon 40D) just so you don't get confused. Confused? LOL.

Here's more inspiration. Just to show you what a good macro lens can do. All you need is a dSLR and a macro lens (Sigma has one for Nikon mount also for $230ish), which is just as good as the one I'm using).

Scary!

I thought you where referring to live view in just the lcd screen, you know since lack of pixels and small screen, make focusing critically nearly impossible
Live view on the LCD allows you to zoom in. Not the same as doing it on a PC due to the lower pixel count, but still fully functional, especially for macro since it doesn't take much to make a shot out of focus due to the limited DOF.

^^ oh, I see. Maybe its just me, but I've never found much use with liveview.

Well heres my pics, about 100-115mm focual on the subjects. I cheated a bit and used a halo light around the lens(or whatever those circle flahes that mount around a macro lens are called). No editting

EDIT--well looks like server is still messed up, am at the airport now, I'll have to repost them, when I get back.

I also have 2 other lenses for it but that will set you back $8K

bad news its a four-thirds camera, and variety of lenses is limited and very expensive.
good news, I like it better then my nikon and canon but its not to say its truly better

Damn, that thing is Magnum XL.
