I have both a G5 and a Sony F828. The Canon G5 is a good camera, however, the F828 is definitely and without a doubt an upgrade from the G5. The F828 has a Carl Zeiss zoom that is unmatched by another digitcam I know. The pictures are razor sharp, the color is just great. The flash is way, way better than the G5 for indoor or flash fill conditions. The auto focus in the 828 uses the Sony infrared diamond pattern recognition that is even better than the ones in my Canon 20D or my Fuji S3 Pro. For under $1,000.00 you can't go wrong with the F828. The only negative aspect on the 828 is that ISO 400 and higher is useless due to the noise. But it does have a very fast lense with a large apperture. Good luck.

Subject: Konica Minolta's New 14 Megapixel DSLR -- 9D Pro!

Hi all,

 

just for those who are crazy Minolta fan like me. The following

Chinese PC site has leaked the info. on Minolta's new 9D Pro DSLR,

it's a 14 Megapixel camera! On the same article, Canon is also

mentioned to have a new Rebel 350 DSLR. The news was based on UPC

codes (merchandize barcodes) found on some shipping company's UPC

database.

 

see link,

 

http://www.pcpop.com/dc/05/2/61991.shtml

 

It's in Chinese, but the pictures of the 2 barcodes speak for

themselves!

You see what I mean about Rob?

Jason,

 

You don't need to apologize to Rob, he may be very knowledgeble, but he really is a major A-- Hole at heart. Just take the camera back to the store and exchange it for another one.

Rob, You did not read all of my response. I know that leaf shutters can sync at high speeds. If it was just an issue of adjusting the sync speed, then I would have not recommended that Jason take his camera to a repair shop or return it to the dealer for an exchange. I believe that there is a mis-sync between the shutter switch electronics and the curtains. If a capacitor in the timing circuit had a cold solder joint, the RC time-constant of the delay would be affected, thereby result in a mis-sync. If a resistor was the wrong value, that would also result in a mis-sync, etc. Hope that clarified my response.

OK, at lease you have a sense of humor. I believe your built-in flash is not properly synchronized with your shutter, assuming it did flash. If you shot that photo in the programmed mode, the camera assumed the flash was working so it picked a combination of ISO, Aperture opening and Shutter Speed. The way to verify the improper sync is to shoot 2 pictures consecutively and on the second picture, cover up the flash with electrical black tape. If the 2 photos exactly match, then there's the problem. I truely think your camera needs to go into the repair shop or returned.

Did you take off the lense cap?

Hi Van:

 

You should look into the Nikon Coolpix 5000, it has superb optics and fully manual exposure option and also ISO 100 selection. You should be able to pick one up on Ebay right now for $202.50 at:

Good Luck!

"WHY would you sell an item for $1129, when you could sell it for $1478?! "

 

Why? because of competition. If you have a huge stock of 20D's on your self and can't get rid of it and know that there is a newer model coming out next month, you'd get rid of it quick and make a tiny profit or at least break even with a 20% discount. However, anyone that offers a 75% discount on a new camera is a MAJOR SCAM, that's for sure.

The non-U.S.A. models cameras will go for substantially less than the USA models. I was tempted to buy a Fuji S3 Pro for $1299 instead of $2599, but then after checking, I found out that the $1299 model was not the USA model. The difference is that there is no USA warranty and the software is different. The operations manuals are not in English, etc. Beware of great deals and remember the famous quote: "Anything that is too good to be true is usually a scam", you can bet money on it and win 99.99% of the time.

I have an idea for taking unique pictures at your rave party. Get some duct tape and tape the S2 onto your head and then get on the stage with the rockers. Put the S3 in continuous shooting mode and have a remote in your hand. Then jump off the stage into the mosh-pit while taking continuous photos in auto bracketing mode and hope the crowd catches you on the way down. You outta get a few good pics worth publishing.

A CCD or a CMOS sensor records light the same way that film does. If there is no light reflecting from people's eyeballs, the CCD / CMOS sensor will not make up sparkle as it pleases. Please post a couple of photos so that we may all know what it is that you are referring to. If you look at the millions of photos in the gallery at this PHOTO.NET website, you will see that no one else seems to have that problem and I believe everyone is using digital on this site.

Hi Ron:

 

Sorry I can't answer your question, but you gave me a great lead on the batch conversion freeware "Ifranview". I have been using "Ulead Explorer" and thought that was great, but Ifranview has some great extra stuff that Ulead doesn't have. Really appreciate it.

David,

 

You're a great Dad, hope you print this thread out and save it for your son when he becomes your age. I'm sure he will appreciate it.

Make sure you don't get him a DSLR yet. It's like hiring a hooker for him when he's only 17 years old. What are you going to do for him when he's 18? Kids need something to look forward to.

I would highly recommend the Canon SD10, it is a 4.0 Megapixel camera and takes very good photos and extremely easy to use. The flash is very bright for such a tiny camera. It comes with a leather pouch that slips on the belt. The only negative part about small compact cameras is that it will give red-eye in indoor shots, but that's true for all small cameras due to the proximity of the flash to the lense. However, Canon supplies red-eye elimination software in the package which works very effectively and automatically during printing to fix it. I believe the SD110 is obsolete now and is replaced by the SD220. I don't have a SD110 or 220 to comment on. But the SD10 is available for only $199.00 at bway photo: http://www.bwayphoto.com/product.asp?id=cnpssd10bl

 

It is one heck of a good camera, great color, good strong flash. Much better flash than the Sony T1. Take a small SD flash card into a store and take some pictures with it to see if you like it first.

Or the choice of scenery in front of the Lens.

There may not be a simple way of preventing your camera from being stolen, however, perhaps someone can develop firmware updates for the various brands of SLR's to automatically dial out of the thief's computer (as soon as the thief connects your camera or CF card to his computer) to download photos and call your home computer supplying you with his phone number and/or ISP so that you can report it to the police. I think they already have that software for computers when they are stolen and uses a different ISP or phone to surf.

Yes, Imran, I found that out also. Post processing is required on the Canon 20D camera. You need to go into Photoshop and use the Sharpness Filter and also adjust the Contrast and Brightness to get a great image. Most of the time the auto contrast should do the trick.

Here is another photo right out of my Fuji S3 Pro for your evaluation.<div></div>

I'm color blind and so bought a Fuji S3 Pro after I got a Canon 20D. I can't do any post processing at all, so I got the Fuji S3 because I was told that I didn't need to do any color adjustments. I didn't really believe it, but now I am a believer. When I take the same photos from both cameras, everyone tells me that the Fuji has the best and most realistic color. Here is a portrait right out of the camera, Hope the color looks OK to you folks who are not color-blind.<div></div>

I see. OK, here's an unprocessed 100% crop of the fur section right out of the camera without any sharpening or adjustments.<div></div>

Here is a 773KB size photo of above. Cropped photo. Built-in flashed was used and the flash exposure was compensated by +1.0ev because my flash photos all came out too dark. From what I've read, the SB800 is a terrific flash for the S3 Pro.
