The wide-angle property of Canon HV30 is virtually absent, macro shots are actually impossible. That's why I had only considered me for certain purposes a good photo SLR (eg Canon EOS 600D) if I grow, the course provides a better picture quality with appropriate lenses, but also some costs and heavier and larger than the HV30. Did I speak on a trial basis this property from Minadax ordered and find this lens bundle very interesting, also because I rarely feel like a lot to drag ... Above I've posted two customer images, using the Canon HV30 with the macro lens: Steinway Resonatorschraube and mountain bike tires.
