Hi nick
If i was to by a just point and shoot camera i.e one for idiots like me what would you reccomend :embarassed:
-
What sort of budget you got mate?

How about this bad boy?

Would be ideal for you left on full Auto but if you fancy it it allows you to go beyond that and start to fiddle with Apature Priority mode, Shutter priority mode or even fully manual. THese are features that my SLR has and the ones I use. So you could use all that and find you canget really creative or you can leave it in auto and find you have a brilliant point and shoot.
Hope that helps!

nick
Between £250-300
-
Ah OK so £140 is well within budget then!
At that sort of budget you can go pretty mad and look at "Bridge" cameras but I don''t really think that's what you're after.
Whatever you do don't get mugged into thinking it's all about most mega pixels, it's a marketing lie. Infact too many picels on a small senser results in aweful images in low light due to digital noise. Anythng over 8 is a waste unless you plan to print stuff on A2 or are cropping a lot of excess shot out.

Thanks for your help Nick at the moment i have full use of a powershot A640 its a work's camera given to me to take pics of twain twacks :rolleyes: i find if i take really close up shots of foilage and a like they come out excellent but if i put it on auto and just shoot the quality level drops
really sorry for hijacking your thread :huh:
-
Don't worry about the Hijack, it keeps my pics up at the top of the forum, ha ha.
I'm surprised you've found the A640 lacking, but that could be due to the large number of pixels on a small senser.
The only realy way to pick one is to head down to a shop and have a fiddle with a few and find a few you like then check out the reviews online. I would say stick to brands like Nikon, Canon, Sony and pentax as these guys all make high end cameras and the technology filters down not to mention they all make good glass and nothing makes more of a difference then decent glass. For instance the one I gave you above has the Digic III processor in it which is in the newer Canon DSLRs, my 400D only has DIGIC II!!!

Excellent photos! Wouldn't mind being able to take pictures this good myself..
Can you provide some info on how you took the pics? Are you using an external flash for these? Lighting? Positioning? What kind of shutter speeds/aperatures did you use?
Cheers :)

Now worries!
All I think were shot at ISO 800 with a reasonbley fast shutter speed and at f8. The flash is mounted on a tripod and positioned wherever will give good light and fired with a radio trigger by the camera. I took most of these on a -1EV to get the nice dark skies.

Thanks for the info :)
Is the lens vignetting photoshopped in?
Think I'll have a shot with my new remote flash trigger some time this week :D
-
re-hijacking, if the man's spending as much as he says he is - why not get a DSLR?
If I'm honest I don't touch the capabilities my 400D has, but I still get a much better result than if I was shooting with a compact. The colours are so much richer than a compact and they catch the action exactly when you want - I've found with much better definition than a compact, too.
Unless you want something you can slip into a pocket without creating an unslightly bulge (matron) then DSLRs are where it's at, whether you're using them stoopid like I am, or in a very involved manner, as Nick is.
Corking photos as ever, Nick - your shots have come a long way in a very short time. :cool: When are you changing your username to Rankin2? :grin:

Yes mate, it is indeed. Good luck with the flash trigger, did you get an eBay special one like mine? I tell you it's the best £20 I've spent on bits for my camera so far, love it!
Cheers Tom :-)

I did indeed! It doesn't seem very sturdy when connected to the stand though. But it is very fun!
Haven't had a proper go with it yet, just messing about :)
-
Try packing the mount with 1p pieces. I use mine mounted on a tripod fro direction rather than the rather flimsey mount. Mine also has a lose connection which causes it not to fire if it's own mount is not fully upright.
Get posting up some results!
