Advances in charged couple device (CCD) design, low cast processor power, cheap memory and dropping prices of digital cameras over the last few years have made the CCD digital camera art attractive alternative to the film camera for many imaging applications. This is especially true in macro imaging where it appears likely that digital cameras will replace film cameras (curiously, Long (2001), says otherwise). As will be described here, a digital camera equipped with a quality macro-zoom lens, generates images with a depth of field (e.g., Fig. 1) that greatly surpass images produced by a film camera with a comparable lens system.
