    I shoot with a Canon Rebel 450D XSi but the quality comes from the lens. I have a Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO HSM DG Macro lens that is quite sharp, has good color rendition and is designed for macro images.
    Always get the best glass (lens) you can afford, an expensive camera with a cheap lens will still produce mediocre images. Get good glass. Thanks.
