Digital Camera

[Skip]

I have just got my hands on a Olympus C-5050z and I can say with truth, that the pic's are really quite good, and the things it can do for a small cam are mind blowing. I current own a Cannon EOS 5 and EOS 3 along with all the trick gear and have been taking photo's for the last 5 years. But this little digital cam holds it own, that's for sure.

It's not on the cheap side mind you (£550), but one of the big advantages is that it takes a whole host of memory chips including the IBM dive (512MB to 3GIG), and it also takes AA bat's or recharge job's. And it comes with the recharge jobes (1500mA). And the light meter is bang on target, I tried it just hours ago in low lighting, trying to pick up the sun set, with no flash, no tripodm, just holding the cam in hands, and the shoots were great.

I don't want to confuse the issue, but for a little more brass, you can get quite a few extra's and at 5.0 megapixel you can't go wrong. All most forgot, the Macro setting on this cam, can do things that I've seen done before, with a Zoom lens.

Here is a Shot

Simon,

My youngest is a professional photographer. She's going to give me a few lessons for the complete idiot user (ie me !).

What photo shop are you using Skip ?

 

[Skip]

Well to be very honest with you this is my first digital cam, and have only had it for a week, so very new to the digital game. I have photo shop 5.5 but have only been using it for about 12 hours and that photo by the way is of stupid himself, mind you I did play around with it. Any tips??????

Excellent price for an excellent camera. Work paid for mine so I don't care that it was close to £600 last June.

Canon A40 Powershot

Finally bought one and entered my first foray into the world of Digital Camara's...................dinosaur,I know.
Went for the the Canon A40,however when I got round to buying one,I found it had been discontinued...........doh,back to the drawing board,although it was only 6-8 weeks ago I started researching in earnest.
However I went into our local quality independant camera shop in York yesterday to quantify another option and they said that a new A40 had arrived this morning(although they ordered 20,but only 1 turned up) and they did a good deal on it,together with some accessories.
BINGO..........one happy GS'er.
So I bought the Camera,plus
2x 64mb Cards
Lowe Alpine Case
Charger and Ni Cad batteries
Card Reader
for £300.
Have I got all that I need or can you recommend anything else to go with it.
All in all I thought the deal was ok and I'm glad I got the camera that most people recommended on the Camera sites,you guys recommended.
Thanks for your tips,expect plenty of pics from forthcoming GS Club events...............you have been warned......!!!!!!!!!

John, its one of those techno things that the day you buy it, its out of date.
I bought a Konica KD400Z last month, 4 megapixels (whatever they are) and a top reting.
Great tiny camera thats stainless steel and fits in even my jeans pocket. Tries it on 4 meg, way too many KB s for normal use/printing, took 100 snaps on my BMW off road course and then ahd to butcher them all to publish the pics on here because thye wer all in 2 meg mode, now i use a 128Megabyte card on 1 meg resolution and can fit 1000 pics on it!
New battery ordered and will jig up the charger and ac/dc inverter to sit in my tankbag and recharge batteries on the move.
Best bit of new technology i've bought in oooo errr a week or so.
Save me a bomb each year with the 0 plus films i normally use with having kids/getting away alot etc.
Lifes too short and all that.
