Here is the close-up, without any enhancement. The image was taken from about 8 feet away. You will notice that individual hairs can be seen.

The image was captured with the camera on a tripod, ISO 100, natural light from a patio door with a white reflector to lighten shadows. The patio door was opposite the sun.

The color temperature was arrived at by using the camera's white balance custom setting. This can be done by holding a white sheet of paper in front of the lens in the white balance 'set' mode. This feature seems very useful in a setting like my 'photo-studio,' where there is too much colored light bouncing around - yellow from the floor, green from the walls, red from my bad temper. I can imagine the color would be even better in a neutral setting. The color has not been adjusted in any way.

The review at the link above covers most questions about this camera. If there is something I can answer beyond that, please send me a note via email.

Aside from the battery issue, I think I will be very happy with it.
