Dude, bdo your research before you start spewing fallacies.

Sorry. Cnet said no 1 gig MS until late October and all my prices were pulled off of newegg. Newegg didn't have any 1 gig MS cards listed.

I dont know much about photography so I will be on all auto settings, and want to point and shoot. Also I plan on taking pictures at 1600x1200.. i think any more then that is a bit overkill though i could be wrong.

Shoot at the highest resolution you can. Then resize it manually if need be.

1536 x 2048 compressed (jpeg) is 1.3MB. Example

you should take pics at the biggest possiable resolution and then make them smaller because thats easy, makeing them biggter is a pain cause they start looking like crap

Jeez you guys, Memory sticks aren't that expensive anymore. Take a look at this 512 stick for 109 and this 1gb one for 164

Get the V1. Well, don't, cuzz I like to be special and I'm planning for it to be my next camera. 🙂

Ahh I see. I guess if i get a 512mb CF/MS, I would just take the largest pictures possible and then do resizeing.

I was looking on amazon and they have the new model to the DSC-V1, the DSC-W1 anyone have any expieriance with it? it boasts a 2.5inch lcd..

Image Resolution, size, and compression: What does it really mean?

If every single picture you take is going to be a candidate for 8"x10" prints, go ahead and shoot at 5MB per image, but the recycle time for uncompressed images is unbearable to me. I save that for images I KNOW will be printed full size. I shoot a LOT of images quickly all the time. You know, snap shooting?

Manual mode, 33% flash, Flourescent light source, Neutral color, CWA, manual focus @ 45cm

Here are a couple more A95 shots. I was just playing around with different settings.

No Flash
With Flash

 

[Ornery]

Play with some settings where it's somewhat dimly lit.

Hey Brunswick, ever wonder who makes the CMOS sensors for high end cameras?

Ever heard of Carl Zeiss? Guess who uses those lens on their digital cameras?

 

[Anubis]

does sony pay you Ornery?

 

[Ornery]

Listen meathead, I haven't heard you make one disparaging remark about the incessant Canon fanboism around here. Why is that? I've owned a Canon, as well the Sony. Bang for the buck CLEARLY resides in Sony's camp!

 

[Anubis]

what??!?? can you read, im one of the biggest ANTI CANON people here

 

[dartworth]

:yawn:

 

[Ornery]

So, what do you recommend for Brunswick?

Edit: Nevermind, I see the Fujifilm FinePix E550 Zoom, which is $330.00. No hotshoe, Infrared Autofocus Assist, but otherwise decent specs.

Hey Ornery, ever wonder who makes the engines for high-end mid-sized SUV's?

Ever heard of Honda?. Guess who uses those engines on their SUV's? :laugh:


But per your request, I'll try some low-light shots.

all under 500$

Fujifilm FinePix E550
Olympus C765 UZ - the C770 has a Hot shoe prob find it under 500 as well
Nikon Coolpix 4300
Minolta DiMage S404

 

[Ornery]

Relax, I doubt Sony makes your Canon's sensor. (But, you never know)

Nobody cares about little wienie SUVs, even if Cummins makes its engine!

Not bad, but $359.00 shipped still looks like the best all around deal to me. Personally, I'll sacrifice portability for an even better, larger camera, but I know I'm in the minority on that.
