I just ordered my first DSLR (was an old school film SLR guy with an AE-1 that I still own). With a film SLR, you'd need a macro because blowing up shots from a longer distance would often cause graininess. But, with a 24 MP DSLR, I would imagine (though I'm no expert at all) that you'd have significant ability to zoom in without needing to get too close for the shot. I'm assuming that if I'm shooting in RAW mode, that I could get a pretty good closeups (granted not 1:1) from a couple of feet away and perhaps a better depth of field.
The only thing I can think of (and again, I'm the resident photog idiot) is that the geometry of the lens might produce some artifacts at the edges.
So, help a DSLR newbie and explain why I'm wrong (and feel free to make fun of me in the process, wife loves reading those posts).
Thanks.
