I went to a local wood twice, to compare using my FZ330 bridge camera (with two Raynox 150s stacked) with my G80 and 45-175 (with two Raynox 250s stacked), to see which handled small subjects best (in terms of usability/success for capturing images, and in terms of image quality). Here are some of the test images, the first two from the FZ330 and the others from the G80. They had my usual processing. There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album and this album at Flickr.
I was hoping to find very small subjects, like springtails and mites, but had to make do with somewhat larger subjects. Image quality looked (so far as I could tell from non like-for-like comparisons) like a draw to me. Usability/success for capturing images favoured the FZ330.
