I purchased another Fuji camera, I love the lens they use.

This one, an S5000 upgraded me from the 3800. The S5000

is a little more on the "prosumer" side than a point N snap.

I like the 10X optical zoom, RAW mode, and some manual

adjustments of shutter speed etc. The only downside is

that when you shoot in RAW mode, it sucks up the memory

card like a big dog since it's the raw data from the CCD.

In what is called 6m mode (3.1 megapixel + 3 interpolated)

I can shoot just over 80 pics, in RAW mode I can shoot

only 9. Soon as the XD cards come down in price (which

should be soon according to some camera sites) I'm going

to be getting a 256 meg. In RAW mode, that will give me

36 exposures, which, unless I'm at an airshow should be

enough until I can dump em off onto my PC.

I'd really like one of those $5000+ digitals like my cousin

has (he's a NFL photographer) but they are coming down

in price it seems evey 6 months. Won't be long until

the 6megapixel cameras will be down in the mid 300

dollar range

Wow - nicely done Keldyn (Y)

A while back I mentioned I was getting a Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) - well, I got it, and have been playing with it a bunch. Still have tons, and tons, and tons to learn. Plus, I need to work on my post-processing. Here are a couple I've taken (and the first I've posted to a website anywhere - heh, too intimidated to post on Fred Miranda's site or dpreview...)

As some of you may know, I'm considering buying a Sony DSC-P52/72 (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=108932)

Will I be able to get anything like the kind of quality pictures you guys are getting with your cameras ??? (I know some of yours must be at least 2/3x the price)

If anyone has either the P32/52/72 (only difference is the zoom on them) could you post some pics?

andrewfee.. theres no reason why that camera couldn't take the same quality photos. its a 3.2mp. i know thats not everything, but as long as you can adjust settings manually (which is what most of these have done i'm sure), then you're good to go.

i can take similar quality pics with my 3.2mp canon a70 with manual settings. that canon EOS digital rebel though is in another league altogether. you should be able to match keldyn's quality with practice. he's a good photographer :)

Ok, cool I'll try to get the camera then. I've not really done any photography before so it would take me a while to be able to take good pics, but I did expect that - I just wasn't sure if I would be able to take great pics like those without spending huge ammounts of cash.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
