Digital Photo Quality....
« on: April 10, 2006, 02:06:00 PM »
I was totaly shocked last year when I got my Canon PowerShot S70.  I had NO IDEA that a digital camera could take pics this sharp. Thought I'd pass along this info for those that haven't made the switch yet.

 Here'a a shot I took in TX...its a bit oversized for the forum....but I want to keep it the original size so the quality of the photo can be seen.

This is a 7.1 mega pixel image....and it even clearer when projected on my monitor straight from my computer....and the print quality is perfect.

Yep, digital cameras have certainly gotten much better with the years!

I have a nikon D70 and have prints made up to 20x30 that look great.

Very nice Terry!!! That gets me pretty pumped! I have a new Nikon L1 ordered, I think it is a 6 megapixel, but it's supposed to take good shots as well!

Great Pic!!!!

I hear ya! I haven't burned film in years. Digital cameras have come a long way! I started with an old Casio digital camera (back when digital cameras were very new on the scene!) and it recorded in it's own format, took pic's like it was shooting thru the bottom of a coke bottle! Man that thing was a joke but it set the hook on me. I just picked up a Canon Rebel XT (8.2 Meg) DSLR a couple weeks ago and have been very pleased with it's performance. Now I need and external flash, massive bigger,brighter len collection ($$$), ect,ect....

Does it ever end? I'm just glad I already have a pretty nice selection of bows to shoot...

I sure like my 8 mega pixel Sony and I have yet to use it to it's full potential. I have a Panasonic GS250 video camera and it takes 3 mega pixel pictures. I was very surprised how well they turned out for a video camera.

I've seen prints made with a 4MP and 6MP cameras that were outstanding at 20"x30".  Given good light, the quality of the lens means more than the number of megapixels. Given poor light the quality of the lens means even more.   :)
