The Neowin Digital Photo Gallery

Macro is usually for close ups like you mentioned. You are the one who decides whether you need it or not. The G5 is a manual capable digicam so its up to you. Flowers, face close ups, coins, anything. Usually there is a limit on how far you must be from the subject; this varies from every camera.

Thanks, I think I was just trying to figure out what's the difference between normal zoom versus macro as I have never used macro before even on a film SLR camera.

Hi Pppl!

I am on the verge to make the dive and get a digital camera myself in the next two weeks. I have been following this post since the time when Keldyn got his digicam and always wanted to buy one myself. I have narrowed my choice to either the Canon A70 or the Canon A80. The Canon A80 will cost me about INR 19000 (43INR = 1USD) and the Canon A70 costs me about INR 15000. I wanted some advice on which to get. Is there a HUGE difference in .8 Mega Pixels? Can i have some sample images taken at those resolutions to compare. I seem to like the sviwel LCD that the A80 has but am somewhat hesitant to get the A80 for that only. Looking at Dazzla's images taken with an A70 makes me feel that about 80$ extra for the A80 is somewhat foolish.

What do the experts in here have to say about this? Any advice will be appreciated before I finally make the dip.

Thanks

Sumit

I was in the same boat, except the price difference was even smaller. Looking back I still don't know what I would have got but like the tech lust that most of us have got once you get one you want better :D Saying that I'm really satisfied with it and would probably have gone with the same choice. With the money you save you can grab some memory, charger and batteries, case for the camera etc.

Hmmmm,

Thats exactly what I was thinking. But the bug in me says A80...A80 and I have to bang my head with a pan to keep the bug silent :p

So what you are saying is that the .8 MP will make hardly any difference and that the sviwel LCD can be compromised with?

Anyone else has any other comment?

Just retuned from Rome. Shot taken at St. Peter's Basilica (Canon G3)

that, is an awesome picture. ive got a similar one i took on a 35mm when i visited rome.. that looks brilliant though.. i wish i had a digital camera back then

has this turned into a 'cat' thread? or does it still have VARIETY???

there is quite a bit of variety in this thread. some of us like to photograph our kitties, doggies, birdies, reptiles, rodents...all are as camera-worthy as scenery and kids

ya she was looking around here (20 mins from Detroit) and there are places that carry them but they arent getting shipments of them. She looked online and they are all out too or they are like 50$ with 50$ shipping charge and she wont pay for that. I will have to take a picture of her rig that she has set up for them. I think it looks pretty sweet! ill take the picture tomorrow when im out of school

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
