I already have a DSLR, a Nikon D100. I'm just looking if there is a camera which has most of

my desired features, has a good quality and is small enough to easily carry around everyday.

Thanks for your comments! The Fuji S9100 and Sony DSC-R are both too bulky for me. I like

that the 5400 is relatively small. And I sure can live without one or two of my 'required'

features. Iguess a tilt-swivel lcd screen might not be as needy as they were a few years ago

(viewing angle and increased size ar better now). But the wide angle and manual controls are

essential. What about the Ricoh GR (no zoom, but 28mm equiv, RAW and manual settings)?

My old Nikon Coolpix 5400 serves me quite well, but it's starting to feel a bit old and tired lately. I am

looking around for something new. I've been a Nikon user for over ten years now (801, F70, F80, F3, D100

and CP5400), so these cameras feel very comfortable for me.

But...

if I replace my 5400, the new camera must have some of the 5400's unique features (no, not the slooow

image processing ;o)

-wide angle lens (at least 28mm)

-tilting LCD screen

-manual aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc settings

-RAW capability

-built in flash with (limited) manual adjustment

I've tried searching a few sites, but nothing really came up. Does anyone has some good advise regarding

my search? As I said above, I am a long time Nikon user, but my new camera doesn't have to be a Nikon.

Thanks a lot!

Great shot. I don't thonk the window is too busy. Because the

rest of the picture is empty and quiet there is a nice and beautiful

balance between inside and outside the shop window. I love

shopping strees and shop windows, because of the

mannequins and reflections of people on the street: this is a very

fine example of <i>shopping street photography</i>.

<p>

I've done a slightly different <a

_id=136318">series</a> of a shopping street in Amsterdam.

What I've heard about Steve McCurry's work, is that he doen't

always shoot his subjects in a <i>few minutes</i>, but that he

sometimes comes back a dozen times, once he found an

interesting person or subject... So, I guess a big part of his

portraits are of people he is geting to know a little, and he might

be searching for a good location (=background) with his subject

in mind. But that info is also in his book <i>Portraits</i>

<i>Have you at least notified the photographer of the "image your

never going to make," that you inadvertantly STOLE his image?

</i>

This is NOT stealing... It's like sitting in a class room, a bar or

whatever, discussing wether is't possible or not, or how to

duplicatie the picture that's in the magazine David brougtht. Only

this class room/bar is online and in cyberspace, so David

scanned an image and put it up, to show what he's trying to

achieve. How could we help him without the example? It's

perfectly legal to show images (with maybe a more complete

creditline) for learning purposes

Wow! What a great photograph... It has the feeling of travelling

(it's the rear view mirror in a car, isn't it?) and yet an intimate

atmosphere of the two women.

... and I always love car pictures!! maybe because I don't have a

driving license ;o)

best wishes,

Rolf

... and $550 for a signed print isn't very much! I've worked for the

Magnum agent in The Netherlands, and we couldn't ask for prints for

private collectors below $1000

If you have the money, get your own Martin Parr today ;o)

Well, that is <i>People Photography</i>!

I'm a big fan of his work, and it's amazing how he does it. Being just

a friendly photographer, interested in people and in the mean time

creating photos like this...
