The *Official Photography Thread*

yep because theres NO options between a $400 s100 and a $7,000 Leica lol

EDIT: read my edit on the quoted post

 

I know, I was just joking around

you said you wanted a small camera with a big sensor

 

well i dont need a full frame sensor, thats what my D700 is for...

i just dont want a tiny point and shoot sensor..

but ive been reading a lot of reviews and looking at a lot of sample images... i really like the X10

 

im strongly considering a nex 5n also.. APS-C sensor. good price. 1080p 16mp 7fps (i think) image quality is awesome. and interchangeable lenses...

 

Panda I know you're way out of my league in photography but I just got my Lumix LX3 in a few days ago and I really like it so far I know it's a little older but I got it for a killer deal and just wanted an upgrade with some added features.

Here are just a few pictures messing around.

 

x2!!!!

 

Yes, but where?

 

You buy it online from Adobe/wherever. When you run the install, it will figure out where the original is and install it there.

Hey Jake. I think you are over analyzing your pocket camera requirement
Lot of pros using s100 like cameras-not saying don't. Just don't get too hung up on the specs/sensor size.

 

Oh got it. Thanks.



I just didn't know how it would know if you already had LR3 or not so you don't wind up paying full price.



Actually, it wouldn't even matter. Upgrade is $79, and Student Edition is $79.

 

LR4 in 12 minutes

 

well im thinking im not going to do the x10, because of the "light orbs" problem.. but IDK UGHHHHHHH i have time, im not going to make any crazy decisions yet im gonna go test out and stuff

 

Thanks for the input guys! Wow, I still have my Acer..haven't opened it yet. I MAY have to go back to Frys tomorrow morning and get a refund, assuming Bestbuy has the laptop Jake posted in stock.

I have yet to watch your tutorial video Jake..I will as soon as I open a laptop I buy Getting lightroom 3 for now..will upgrade when I feel my editing skills is up to par with you guys.

 

Good plan.

BTW, one thing I thought I'd never want (in a P&S) was a hot-shoe. Turns out that's kinda useful. Nice to have but useful. For example, I used the G10 to do some test shots using a PW. That worked pretty well. Plus a 430 works way better than the on-board flash. And I can use a remote with the G10.

Not to add to the confusion...

 

BTW, AMD processors totally rock. They run various Linuxes better than their Intel equivalents-faster, cheaper, better bang for the buck. With over a 1000 CPUs in the cluster, maybe 1/2 were AMD and the failure rate wasn't any different than Intel based product. Most were in blade racks.

 

so i just looked at the NX200......by samsung..... i never thought i would buy a samsung camera.... but DAMN. i will save up and get an NX200 and the 30mm f2 lens. its stull under the price of an x100 by fuji. and the UI of the NX200 looks AMAZING.

20mp APS-C CMOS sensor

1080p 30 fps video

amazing UI

really sharp and supposedly amazing in low light

 

thoughts?

 

Nice shot dude!

 

gracias senor

 

I wanna say there's a review in this months Shutterbug. I think. Seems to get decent reviews too.

But why would you want that camera as a smaller P&S style camera? With interchangeable lenses, isn't it almost the same as carrying an SLR with all of its accoutrements?

 

First time really messing with CS5.
