the good thing about these cameras is they make it easy for an amateur to take good pictures. all mine in this thread were lost unfortunately, but people were making nice comments saying they were good, and in all honesty, up until I bought my a70, I'd never really taken many photos before. so you should be fine :)

BroChaos - yeah, those were all with the Kit Lens. Only lens I own right now :/ Need to get a tripod first, then I'll start looking into other lenses. So much to learn...

AndrewFee - that camera should serve you well. 3.2 MP is quite a lot. There are lots of debates between prosumer point and shoots versus entry-level dSLR (which is what the EOS Rebel is) - I think though that just as much comes down to your own imagination and what you can do with the camera - I'm sure Ansel Adams (or whoever) could take some disposable camera and produce qualities better than a lot of "professional" cameras. In terms of the picture quality of every shot though and things like color, clarity whatever, you should certainly have no problems with that camera. But, read photography forums on it and see what people say/have said. That is your #1 source of information right there...

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?

You might consider an extra 128mb memory thingy or 2...other than that you should be fine (Y)

We'll expect pictures, ya know..... :yes:

thats the exact same camera I got for my bday, I love it. Quality is superb. On my 128 stick I can take 82 pics on 3.1/Fine, which is highest setting.

If you want Ill e-mail yeah some pics, too lazy to post cause my pic server died and Im limited to 250kb on the board.

We kept it at "Keldyn buys a digital camera" because it's recognizable. It may have started out as Keldyn talking about his choices and asking for opinions, but now anyone who is interested in a digital camera can come here to ask their own questions, get opinions, and see what people have and how their pictures came out. Just because the topic has evolved doesn't mean that the title needs to be changed.

Niagara Falls, Ontario

i used "one step photo fix" in paint shop pro 8 on this one just now before posting.. the day was very overcast and hazy, plus there was lots of mist from the falls... so this makes it a bit more clear but exaggerates the colours a bit.

What a nice Photo Gallery!!

You deserved such a good camera, Keldyn, and you Spyder get killer shots!

You should share your photo techniques with neowin, I want to learn!

I have also a question: Is it possible, lets say, to take a readable picture of a document (with proper distance of course) in a complete darkness? I mean with flash and so...

I ask this because one of the latest Sony Pro Digicam has a Holographic illumination system which says it allows to take such pictures... what do you say? Any demo you could do for me?

Thanks in advance, and keep the photos coming!!

Yes. It is quite possible. Set to macro mode and you should be good to go. The flash may reflect and cause some glare but i imagine it would be ok.

Spyder: Nicely done man. Glad to see you reposted all those nice images! Mind posting that shot of the lake for us? I think it was a panorama shot. That was my fave :D (Y)

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
