Sveta – this is classical example, that not always expensive cameras needed to take a good pictures, (red) – is my old camera Canon PowerShot S3 IS (6mp), green bud -taken with replacement this year ( 10mp) -Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, with proper source of light they fork just fine – no differences from DSLR for this type of shots
