A Great Little Camera , with alot of Features !
I Saw this Camera walking the Streets of NYC at a Camera Shop and Fell in Love with it ! I have Been a Film Guy for Years and Just Purchased a Digital Camera a Year and A half ago , so this digital Stuff is All New to Me . I have Made My living with a Camera and My Cameras were always Canon . I used Canon A-1s up till a Year Ago, Could No longer Buy the Film I use ,So I Bought a Canon D-20 , its a Great Camera, I Do things with Digital I Couldnt Get Away with on Film ,But its a Big Camera and sometimes , I dont Feel Like Loading all the Gear . Camera Bag , Lens and so Forth , thats were this Camera Comes in ! The Reason I Bought this was so I can Always Have a Camera on Me at All Times , The Best Shots Always Happen When You Dont Have A Camera on You! Happens Everytime !Now I Have seen some People Saying this or that , You have to look at the Facts , 1st it is What it is , Meaning its in between A Point and Shoot And A SLR Camera , there is a Trade off for Everything , Here You Get Alot of Camera in A small package .Some Examples of this , It has a Manual Mode , I use this Just Like A 35mm Film Camera , I love that and You can Set the ISO like on a Film Camera , Now also the Lens is Equal to Lens from 36mm to 432mm ! This gives You A Wide Angle Lens 36mm ,a Standard Lens 50mm , A Portrait Lens 100mm , A Telephoto Lens 200mm And a 300mm and 400mm Telephoto Lens , All On one Camera ! Think if You had to Carry all That ! I usually Do ! Now with a 4GB SDHC Card You Get About 768 Pictures ! Thats 21 Rolls of 36 exp Film !Have You Carryed 21 Rolls of Film or Tryed Loading a Roll of Film in Cold Weather ? I Have , its not Fun to Be in the Middle of a Shoot and You Run Out of Film ! Also The savings alone of Not Buying Film anymore Will Pay For The Camera . The One Draw Back to This Camera is You Cant Store The Pictures To Raw Data , But Again the Trade off is The Size of The Camera . if Your Doing Blow-ups to 8×10 the Quality of The Pictures are Great , Meaning its Better to Have A Smaller Picture then No Picture at All ! The other Draw Back is The Manual Focus , But Again Thats one of The Trade-offs . Now this also is a Video Camera and with 4GBs they claim 1 Hour of Video with Stereo Sound ! Try that with Your 35mm Film Camera !There is Alot to this Camera and for Me , it will take awhile to Learn each one , But thats Part of The Fun of it !No Camera will take Great Pictures , The Camera is Just a Tool , its The Person Behind the Camera That Creates Great Pictures , This is a Fun Camera and if Your Having Fun , You will Take Great Pictures ! Cheers
