wow, that Sigma does produce some sharp pictures! I should have a look at that! I'm Canon D40 man and was looking at the Canon macros.
To pick up from watercooled: The D80 has a silent mode for macro, i.e. keep the mirror lifted, so the cam doesn't make much noise?

yes mate it does but i never use it for macro work, just keep the flash on even in daylight and make sure the exposure is fast
Re: Bugs (up close and personal)
wow, impressive stuff! :) (that moth seriously scares me though, it looks like it's eyes are made out of hair!) these are probably the closest i've got to bugs...

Re: Bugs (up close and personal)
Wow, those are some really, really impressive photos. It almost makes me want to go out and buy a super expensive camera... but I'm sure it'd end up in a cupboard somewhere within a month... gathering dust ;)

do what?!
mirror lock-up is so the camera doesn't shake during long exposures.. not for silent shooting!
once the mirror is in the up position it blocks the viewfinder...
and thats 40D!
you don't really need a Macro Lens to produce Macro Photographs..

Yeah, I meant to just write "delaying mirror/shutter return" instead of "lock-up". SORRY, SO SORRY!!!
And yes, it's 40D and I was also wondering whether the 80D has such a feature. You seem to be in the know, so does it?
Re: Bugs (up close and personal)
the D80 does not have Live View, the 40D>D80
Re: Bugs (up close and personal)
what kind of distance were you from the bugs with that 150mm lense?
