If I had 20K for a diamond camera - infinite focus.

I saw these guys at a conference a couple of months ago and their photos are beautiful!

The image processing software takes care of the depth of field problems faced at high magnification

Their website is a bit cruddy: http://www.macroscopicsolutions.com/blog.php

$20k ish for the setup and for every 10 they sell, one setup gets donated to a school.

Can you imagine how cool our sparklies would look?

Vendors: Better pics?

Cool, but you don't need $20K to get 'infinite focus'.

Photoshop, for $699 IIRC, does what's called focus stacking.
You take as many macro pics as you want, each focused at a different plane of the object.
Then Photoshop digitally 'glues' them together for astonishing depth of field.

AFAIK, Photoshop does not do the 3D thing.
I do not have Photoshop.
