Need info on Nikon Coolpix P4 Please
Hi All,
Is anyone using this camera? I would like to hear general feedback on it. Do you have an underwater housing for it? I am particularliy interested in hearing how good the vibration reduction is. Also, what's the story with this aperature control thingy that allows for depth of field control? Do you have trouble getting it to focus on what you are looking at when taking macros? Thanks, Kevin

This Reefkeeping Magazine article discusses how the aperture affects the depth of field- give it a quick read and you'll learn a few things hopefully.
Depth of field is very tricky with extreme close-ups. The closer you get to the subject the lesser your depth of field... so you have to use smaller and smaller apertures to get decent depth of field the closer you get. Holler if you have questions
