Point'n & Shoot'n at DHS

[Gdad]

Was a nice day on Saturday- thought I would share a few pictures. All taken with my wife's new Canon PowerShot SX110 IS- who needs a DSLR anyway?

 

[RCDisneyFan]

Very nice!

Great shots!! I wish I had a better p&s.

Great shots Jeff!! That's the camera I'm looking at buying DW here soon. I assume you like it then? And what mode were those shot in? I know, I know; a lot of questions. But GREAT SHOTS (in case I forgot to mention that.)

Pay attention students and novices! What Jeff is saying but is too modest to say is, it is the skill of the photographer more than the ability of the camera to take a good or great immage.

Jeff's skill is certainly responsible for these photos, I am sure. Just wanted to clarify that when I said I wish I had a better p&s, it's because mine just stinks in low light, and I'm envious of anyone who has shots taken in moderately low light that aren't filled with noise. I realize you may not have been directing that at me, but I wanted to clarify what I said anyway because I think Jeff is a great photographer!

Gdad,

Great photos! Even if they didn't come from your D700!

The Canon does seem to handle the low light pretty well. If you don't mind me asking, what, if any, post processing did you do to the shots?

Must be nice to be able to slip over on a Saturday! I am so envious!

I am in awe of your photography skills, Jeff. Great job, as always.

I didn't really think that. No worries! But I reread my post afterwards, and I didn't want it to sound like I was attributing the quality of the photos to the camera rather than the person behind it.

I just wanted to point out that the Canon PowerShot SX110IS is by no means a "low light" camera, even by p&s standards.

These megazoom PnSs are certainly hard to beat for getting really close to your subject. 624mm effective focal length on some of the new ones? Yeesh!

Jeff, went and had a peek at your EXIF. Did you shoot these in aperture priority? I'm seriously considering buying this camera to toss in my purse. Would you mind giving a little review?

edited to add: The pictures are FAB btw!

 

[Gdad]

Thanks all!

LOL- Maybe so but I am not trading in my D700 any time soon.

Not very much- I think some noise reduction on the B&B shots is about it.

Uhmmm- I think aperature priority- at least on the B&B shots. The rest I think I just left it in some auto-mode that seemd to make sense at the time.

Overall I was happy with the camera except for when the kids were running around playing hard- then the auto focus was just not fast enough to get many keepers (blame the camera! ) so I shot some video clips instead which I was actually impressed with the quality of.
