Steve's Newest Camera
Skhilled:
Been playing with it for a week now. The battery life is amazing! So far, it has only gone down one bar out of 3!!! I may only need to recharge this thing every other week or once per month. :2funny:
But I am loving this camera. I do need to get used to it cause it is very different than a point and shoot. Focusing is on the lens, automatic and manual just like the old film ones. I won't need a new body but will only need to change lenses...when I can afford them. :bigteeth:
The macro mode is excellent even though I was not using a tripod and not using a macro or zoom lens.

All I can say is, "Wow!".
The quality on that image is really way up there. :2thumbs:
Skhilled:
Those leaves (big ones) are about an inch long. I looked at those leaves with my eyes and cannot see the level of detail in that shot. LOL

Here's some photos taken with the new camera. The first one is good. The rest, I took at ISO 1600 which causes graininess in the photos. Luckily, I could easily removed them using Lightroom. ;)
Some plants...
Sprouting flowers from a Spider Plant on a table in my kitchen in macro mode.
A daffodil near the swans but not in macro, just a close shot...

This bird (I think it is a Warbler but not quite sure) was sitting atop a short lamppost I happened to park next to. I actually took these 2 pics sitting in the driver's seat of the car! :2funny:
It would sing for about a minute then fly upward and hover right about the lamppost for about 5-7 seconds then land right back on top of it. It did this for about 7-10 minutes! On a hunch. I decided to focus on it and wait until to rise and take a shot. Hopefully, I would capture it in mid air which I did! :yahoo:
If you download these and open them in a program that will zoom in you'll see the detail of the wings as they are spread out.
