Photography

[Alan]

Anyone want to discuss photography here? I have a pretty good background and can answer some questions. If we get enough response, maybe we can get a photo album started here.

Sounds like a great idea KoH.

I have been experimenting with my husband's newest toy, a Panasonic digital video camera. The pictures from the Roundup were taken with his camera. I like the weight and the feel of the camera. My favorite features are the zoom and the fact that I can snap a picture while filming video.

My avatar is one example of the capabilities of the new camera. I can post more pictures if you like.

Panasonic is always in the forfront with their equipment. Their mechanics have always been sound. From what I understand, their lens system is much improved and you can get some great shots. One of the most important things when looking for a camera is to get one that fits. The better they feel, the less jerk to your camera. I am thrilled that you enjoy the camera.. Do you have photos posted anywhere?

The weight of the camera is really good. Not too heavy, not too light. I will let Nathan know that he made a good choice.

Those are my pictures from last Sunday. Mostly being a Disney Geek. The castle ones are quite fun. The pictures taken on Jungle Cruise were taken while I was shooting video.

For most people, 3.1 is fine. One of my first cameras was 3.1. Kodak use to make some really bad cameras, drop them and throw them away. They have put a lot of work into their digital line. What do you use it for mostly?

Very nice photos. The camera handled some bad lighting situaqtions handly. What recording format does it use?

[mamabot]

Some sort of card. I can't think of the media off the top of my head. Scan Disk maybe.

The camera does not have a flash, which might explain why the outdoor pictures are much better than my interior pictures. The main priority for us is to get a back-up battery.

I've just got a Canon PowerShot A70, and I'm very happy with it! 3.2 megapixel, with a 3x optical zoom. I also just bought an additional telephoto lens for it that brings it up over 7x optical. I can actually see Sorcerer Mickey in my Fantasmic photos now!

I'd love to get a DSLR, but it's just not in the budget at the moment.

I enjoy shooting on film, and printing my own photos in a lab. I just love the smell of developer. I know it's freaky, but the smell makes my creative side shine through. Much like a Denny's sampler.

I agree. If I had access to a darkroom I would shoot mostly in black and white. Photoshop can do the same thing, but I really miss the darkroom.

I grew up sending them out.. and using a digital camera.. currently i am using a Nikon coolpics 4300 Camera.... Not bad.. (for being out dated/obsolete..) (it is broke somewhat and needs to be serviced...)

Not bad camera.. could use a better zoom... but shooting with the largest setting and editing it down isn't hard.. 4 Mps i think.....

I am working my hardest to get a new camera for graduation..... and not let "Any One" get ahold of it this time and mess it up...

I :love: my Canon S45 that I've had for almost two years now. I took this and this early last month (I also :love: vegas even if I'm not old enough to gamble ). This is my first camera ever (aside from disposables) and I would LOVE to learn more about actual photography, maybe even take a class or two. This reminds me though, I do have to get new batteries for it, and a bigger memory card would be nice (currently stuck on a 256)

I have a Sony cybershot 5 pixel which I love!

I would love to see pictures in an album... I could look at photos all day long.
Lets start a photo album!!

I'm going canon when I upgrade my digi cam. I prefer SLR's over point and shoot. I already have some lenses for it...so it makes since for me to stay with canon.. However, the digii cam I have now is olympus and I LOVE it... I still like SLR's better though..

Are yu crazy???? I think that was the worst thing about the whole preces. I mean, I loved my 23c and te creative things I could do in the lab, but after 8 hours, it stunk, I stunk and my eyes were burning. I fgured, that is what they built custom labs for. Now, everything I did in the lab, I can do in my puter and generate a photo that was just as good. I do admire you for sticking with it.

This is where I am going next Canon Digital Rebel. I. It is just the entry level camera in the Digital SLR line, but the specs are really especially the 6.1 megpix. I figure, it is not that pricey and as the technology improves, I can move on to the better cameras.
