rollinup Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) There's a new member in my little tech family. I (along with 1 more person) am a proud owner of a Nikon D70 :D There's now a whole room upstairs we call the "studio" as it has everything we need for basic picture taking, editing,printing, scanning etc. Here's some pictures(Just a note, these were taken with our old camera, a Canon PowerShot A520): Damn I'm happy :happy: Edited March 5, 2006 by killer043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollinup Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 I did some testing I just went for a walk and took some pictures near my house as well as some pictures from the 2nd story. Also, there are some pics after my dog went insane for some reason and tore up some garbage in the backyard, it adds to the effect. The pictures aren't THAT great but hey, I'm still just testing this little guy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted March 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 8, 2006 the more you play with the toy, the more you get used and shoot better pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoneAvail Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yeah, make sure you can open NEF pictures before you shot Raw pictures. My uncle has the same camera... Buy Extra batteries.. It's a really good camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Extra batteries? What kind of CF card do you use? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted March 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 8, 2006 well, only if you use continous shooting, buy highspeed card 60x+ (sandisk ultraii is well known) Otherwise, don't waste money on highspeed card and buy a 2gb at regular speed to store more photos. If you shoot in RAW or RAW+jpeg, you'll find your big card usefull Extra battery is very useful. The nikon one is very expensive but you can buy some on ebay. I bought 2 for 20$cad shipping included. (the shipping cost more hehe). To open raw, there are plenty free app to open raw including microsoft raw viewer (search on neowin forum, there is a link somewhere) there is also xnview that open raw file. But you will soon buy a good picture editing software also.... you will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerm Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Just got my 350D and im giddy as hell. It was between that or the D50 almost identical to yours. Can't wait to get out and practice. I haven't got a CF card though, only a 32MB at the mo until i buy a 2GB from ebay, so it's like 10 pics at a time, :rolleyes: Congrats. We'll have to compare in a few weeks, lol.

I doubt I could with 4GB either. what eat more battery is when you use LCD to watch pics. You can shoot a hell lot of pictures during a weekend with only 1 battery. I'm pretty sure you can fill up a 2GB card with NEF pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
