the Moon!

[clivvy]

managed to take some pics tonight, im learning how to use my camera, so nothing professional!

this is how it looks from the garden...

and this is full zoom...

both images are direct from camera. not too bad, i didnt play too much with the settings as it was a bit cold, but not bad results.

I'm impresssed, i want a new camera now!

 

[clivvy]

hey I tell you what Plank, its not the best camera ever, but this Fuji HS10 cost me £269 at Argos, bought it using the card, so its buy now pay later. for what you get at that price, bargain, its a brill camera.

worth a peak at that price. its a Bridge camera, but seems to me to lean more towards SLR, due to the super 30x zoom lens (i tell you, its flipping awesome), it will still take filters etc so quite versatile. it doesnt have or take a remote though, but thats no big deal. its got all your usual point and shoot stuff, plus, its all manual as well, including focus. oh, and the zoom is manual as well, which takes some getting used to but its faster than electronic! powers up quick, and dependent on chosen settings, pretty quick between shots.

my fav feature, is "motion remover", lets say youve taken a picture of a right nice building over the road, and a bloody bus drives past....it will remove the bus....:lol

I bet you are over the moon with that one Clivvy.:lol

I used to use an Olympus OM20 SLR, brilliant, still have it and all the lenses etc, but the cost of developing and having to wait is a pain.
It's a pity they don't do an electronic conversion.

I have a small digital camera at the moment but I would prefer a mid range digital SLR, now they are getting cheaper for high resolution.

i've got an OM10 with plenty of lenses and filters etc. I have often wondered (and asked) if there is a digital body that would accept the lenses :nenau

i've been looking around and from what i can see they should fit other olympus cameras, not 100% sure tho, take them to a camera shop and ask them.

on the lens interchangability thing i just found this thread:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100413073633AA2uhfR

looks possible, but the body they suggest is out of my price range

you should be able to pick up a e420 body reasonably cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympus-Camed...Cameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item3f05e99a46

They do fit, but thats only half the story....the problem is that you lose virtually all of the automated functions, from autofocus to exposure.....you have to do the whole thing manually. In addition, the resolution never seems quite as good.

I've always used Nikon and still have a thirty year old FE that still easily outperforms even the best digital SLRs in terms of picture quality, yet if I put the lenses on to my D70S, the results are never as good as with the dedicated digital lens.
