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.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
