Keldyn buys a Digital Camera

[Spyder Veteran]

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.

Shouldn't this topic be renamed to "submit your photos" or something similar? I think this topic has out grown simply "Keldyn buys a Digital Camera".

[Spyder Veteran]

a renaming would make sense but then people wouldnt recognize it. maybe a new title with a subtitle of "WAS: keldyn buys a digital camera"

[aem4162]

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.

[Spyder Veteran]

the recognizable thing can be solved by using the subtitle as per my previous post

anywho thought i'd up some pics that i had previously that were lost. here we go...

[Knight']

Well it is the logical thing to do, and people will recognise it, you could put a note next to it though "Formerly 'keldyn buys a digital camera'"

[Spyder Veteran]

this and the above were night shots

covered bridge about 20 mins away

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.

another night shot

[Spyder Veteran]

[Spyder Veteran]

i'm picking and choosing here out of my photo archive lol anyways this will be the last one .. i dont know why i like this one but i do

[Teknomatrix]

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)

[Keldyn]

yea the one iwth the tram i think it would look very nice

Well.... if you would like the full size image you are welcome to give it a try. I'm no good at that kind of thing, myself. lol

I'm curious to see what you come up with!

[Spyder Veteran]
