David's Page: New Photos

Monday, March 10, 2008

I shot a few more photos to test out the new camera yesterday. This one was lit with the on-camera flash.

Edgar and Mary relaxing after a long day of gardening and digging in the yard.

Setup a Sunpack 120J on barebulb to light this one. The camera performs best at low ISO settings for sure.

At 7:56 PM, David said...: So far it's more of an "eeh" than a yea or nea. It's no Nikon D2X for sure. The shadow detail is not great, I took a photo in real hot light of a building today and it's over-saturated in the highlights. The noise in the photo of Mary and Edgar is kinda troublesome.
But with good exposure and low iso it's great. I guess the raw images don't have the latitude of the D2X raw files. But it cost 439 bucks and the D2X cost 5 grand. It's a little shy of what I might really want for a trip to Italy, but it is going to be awesome for a backpacking camera. lots of cool features like a built-in neutral density filter. I wish it was easier to change exposures. It won't work with my new wide-angle lens(thanks Sam!) that works with my G3 either, it isn't compatible. I'm going to carry both cameras on the trip.
