Well i finally managed to buy my new!

[nautifish]

Well as some of you may remember i asked about cameras. and i just want to say thankyou so much to all those that took the time to reply and give advice very much appreciated sincerly.

 

Well i have yet to buy my SLR i really am having a hard time in decideing witht this camera. Because they are such big money i really want to make sure i get the right one for me.

 

But anyway i did pick up a new camera for my every day shots and video's. I am happy as larry with it.

It is a Canon powershot S3IS that i picked up last week. Now i am still getting familiar with it and playing around with it but having fun with it also. but so far i am very happy with it.

 

These are just a few pictures i have shot of birds in my yard and a few down by the lake here in port dover over the past weekend.

They are still a little grainy bud but i think thats me not the camera. There are so many different functions and settings so like i said still playing and learning with it....& yes it was actually really nice too see her out on the water yesterday. You know summer is just around the corner.

[tjsa]

An SLR, or an SLR digital, I am assuming the latter, lol. Huge difference in price, I can't get more than 50 bucks for my Canon AE-1.

[nautifish]

No i am looking at the digital SLR Tjsa. I know there is a huge difference in price. I was out again last week shopping around. Could not beleive the huge difference in price between a digital SLR & A film SLR.

 

sadley the digital SLR do not have the option of movie footage yet. I am hoping sometime down the road soon they will also have that option with the digital SLR.

[nautifish]

Here's a pic my son got with my Sony camera DSC-H2. I took over 2000 pics in BC.

My camera stopped working. Sent it out and was fixed under warranty by Sony.

Hopefully I get a much longer life out of it now. Great pics with the Canon.

[Heybud_e]

Sony is good about their customer service, i have a sony handycam and for some reason it stopped working, they sent me a new one to my place of work (we deliver sony products to the sony store in niagara falls) no shipping or handling fees.. just a quick exchange.. i have no probs with this one.... Bud

[nautifish]

Beautiful shot deano.........

 

Now if i could just figure out the right settings on my cam for them very same shots.....lol

I would say it's a great camera, very nice clear shots.

[nautifish]

Thanx GBG

 

I am hopeing as i get to know the camera more though that the pictures will get even better.

Enjoy the new toy!!! Canon makes a fantastic product. My old EOS 650 that's 20 years old still looks like new and more importantly, still takes awesome pictures. I loved our old little Canon digital but alas, after dropping it twice in the boat and then getting it wet, my wife killed it. Now we have a Sony but I liked the Canon more. Practice makes perfect in photography, keep at it.

Thanx alot guys....the camera is 12 x opitical Zoom so i am going to be buying the extra lense that will give me 24 x optical zoom. They did not carry it it in the store so i have to order it on line.Go figure.

[bigfish1965]

Using a long zoom in low light gives you the grain, nauti.... at least thats my experience. On sunny days it ain't a problem.

Happy as larry, huh? Crazy Dover sayings....
