Hi there, I passed my PhD exam the other day and as a present my friends gave me a voucher for Currys (.... always lowering prices hehehe),
although I dont' like curry that much - if you eat one you end up smelling like the cooker!
(just kidding) -
I am really exited about this...
Now... I have a cell phone... Sony Ericsson K800i, it comes with an excellent camera Cyber-shot 3.2 Mega Pixels!!!!
Yesterday I took this picture with my K800i:
Can you see the man sitting on the balcony??? Can you recognise the shape of a human being there?????
Of course you can't!!!!
Well, there was a man there reading his newspaper... I tried to get a good shot from where I was.... about 100mts, but I couldn't.
pd: just in case you were wondering why I took a picture of a man sitting on a balcony... no comments.
I know I am being picky and that a 3.2 MgP camera is more than excellent for a cell phone anyway... but I sometimes I want to take better quality pictures from longer distances.
Conclusion: I NEED a new digital camera with a higher resolution, more effective and output pixels ... I guess I'll have to read a bit about sensor design, interpolation algorithm, lenses, focal length, focus distance, aperture, scene contrast, and stuff... but who cares if the camera looks nice and takes descent pictures??
Reflection: following the advice of some friends, monsters, freaks and geeks I have decided to not go for a (semi) pro camera... - they say a pro is too heavy. And actually that is a good point because some times you want to take spontaneous pictures and people don't want. I have more chances with a smaller camera! I hate when they make me wait to pose in an unnatural way! Or when they say I don't want the tree behind me, or I don't want cars in my photo or lets wait for these (thousands of) people to go. I rather have more natural pictures. People, cars and trees are part of 21st century landscapes.
Well, I just like to buy the PENTAX OPTIO T10
What DO You THINK???????
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
I have already bought a camera.
Pentax Optio L20
7.0 effective Megapixels
3x optical zoom
4x digital zooming
2.5'' non-glare LCD monitor
16 shooting modes and 15 playback modes
23MB of built-in memory + 1GB Memory Stick
It is beautiful and slick. It fits into the palm of the hand and its mine!!!
