before any of you laugh your brains out i would likle to tell you that i got my G2 from the USA (my friend got it for me), even if i need to get a DSLR now i would have to ask my friend to get it for me. so you see at my place i will not be able to go into a camera shop like in the US and check out the cameras. so if any of you have got access to both the cameras, could u take the same shot with both cameras and post it here? i know its comparing oranges and apples, and the 50mm will be very sharp, i am just interested to know how sharp, and would my unsharp mask on PS help me get that sharpness with a G2 shot.

i have a canon G2 with a 420EX speedlite and an omnibounce attached

to the 420EX. i have seen lots of photos where the background is a

very bright white, but the subject/model is tack sharp and not

overexposed as the background. now how is this achieved? when i try

taking photos, the white generally appears a bit dull and not the

milk white that i am looking for. looking forward to your suggestions

with my limited setup.

could someone who has the canon powershot g2 and a canon eos digital

with the 50mm 1.8 lens give me an idea of the difference in sharpness

of images of both the lenses? this might sound funny but i want to

upgrade to a digital SLR and i was wondering if someone could help me

here. thanks in advance.

hi, well yes, dust is a problem in these parts of the world, but what you seem to be talking about are the metropolitans like chennai and bangalore where the dust and pollution levels are high, to see the real india you need to see thanjavur, rajasthan, chandigarh, valparai etc they are nature at their best.

hi guhan, good to hear from you, i had a distant friend by the name guhan :) hes from coimbatore in tamilnadu, will definitely work on starting a club here. keep in touch.

i was just curious to see so many south indian names in the forums,

is there someone in this forum from chennai, tamilnadu india with a

digital rebel or a canon 10D, maybe we could start a photography club

for canon users here in chennai :) looking forward to some responses

hmmm i am just more sure that i will definitely go for an SLR, as Yakim says, an SLR is an SLR, even if u give a compact camera with an L lens in it, its i guess like riding a cruise bike compared to a sports bike :) (doesnt make sense to me when i read that again :)). Any case, i have believed in n-1 technology, and i got the G2 when it sold for half the price it was launched at, guess i will do the same with the digital rebel or the 10D too :) happy shooting.

the other thing that we need to note is the 1.6 cropping factor, today we need a 19mm lens to have an equivalent 28mm on the rebel and 10D, so its high time that canon get out a replacement for the 10D which has a cropping factor far less than the 1.6 today. maybe the 10D mark II is one of the 13 cameras to yet be released this year by canon.

canon has launched 7 of their promised 20 cameras for the year just

before the PMA in a few days. The new powershot Pro1 has an 'L' lens

(28-200mm), now this has a better range than anyone out there buying

a canon rebel with a good lens in this range, and with the pro1 u get

this range for around 1000$, now why would anyone who does not have

any EF lenses already with their film or digital EOS go for the

digital rebel now? what is canons idea behind this? to confuse

consumers more? given a choice what would you go for? the pro1 or the

rebel with good lenses? (assuming u dont have any lenses already)

thanks marshal. well i am planning to get a digital SLR (rebel) this year some time and wanted to know how i could justify getting it over my G2, what would be my advantages and disadvantages, i am sorry if i posted it in the wrong forum, and as u say, the ones at the critiques gallery never is noticed, anyway that was not my main objective anyway :)

hello

 

i have been having a canon G2 for quite some time now and am very

excited about photography i recently took a photo of a leaf with my

G2 and i wanted to know if the DSLR with a good macro lens, would

they be able to take better shots than this ?

 

i would appreciate comments on this photo of mine, and whats right

and wrong with the photo and how i could improve my skills, thank u
