Thank you for adding your notes, koraks.

Here's a very short video by Alan Rockefeller that will allow photographers to understand basic settings and gear.....





I don't take pictures this way anymore - now I open the aperture all the way and use the focus shift shooting feature to take a bunch of photos, then combine them with Helicon Focus.  Some cameras call it focus bracketing. 

What this does is take the image as a lot of thin slices which are then reassembled digitally. 

The wide open aperture makes the background blurry so the subject stands out a lot better, and combining multiple photos allows me to have infinite depth of field.

If I don't feel like doing this, I just use my cell phone.

For those of you who have not truly seen his awesome photography, you should really look at it using the following link:

https://mushroomobserver.org/observations?by=thumbnail_quality&q=1oIG4





Those type of links where it doesn't link to an account but instead links to a session (the q=1oIG4) are only valid for 24 hours.

A link like this is valid forever:  https://mushroomobserver.org/observations?user=123

Pick the camera with the smallest sensor that still yields the image quality you require. Smaller sensor = larger depth of field (for all intents and purposes; we can get complicated if you want), and especially with smaller species, you'll find yourself running out of DoF a lot of the time. Especially since you're often working in low-light situations.





I think it's best to get something with a sensor as large as possible so you get the blurriest possible background - assuming that you don't mind focus stacking and choose a camera that can take a series of photos, changing the focus a little bit each shot.
