Marty_d Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 My first digital camera was an Olympus with a big lens - it was only 2.1 megapixels but took better photos than any high-mp phone camera I've had since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 In what way ?. Long telephoto or superwide apature. Or just Chunky . My 5 Meg has 480 telephoto & macro lens , With a 1,4 equivalent apature. Should have been better . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreground and background were clearly different - colour was better - I don't know, just in general the photos looked better. I'm not into photography seriously so I can't help you with F stops or how wide the aperture was... Edited June 28, 2023 by Marty_d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) A DSLR by no means a guarantee of a good quality image... But a general guide on the size of the sensor being important rather than just the megapixels is here: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-image-sensor-size-affects-the-quality-of-your-photos There are plenty of online resources about how to take that "perfect" photo for the given circumstances/subject.

spacesailor Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Like a " Leica " lens . But the problem remains, the time the shutter works after the Button was pushed. To capture a bird Taking flight needs a fast engagement of the shutter . That phone camera's don't have . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Maybe that's why the US police say "Freeze" so their body camera images come out more clearly. Nev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 I have a good DSLR camera, but it's quite a while since I've used it. A bit bulky to carry around all the time. I like the camera in my iPhone 6 and use it daily. Email my photos to myself, download them into a folder called iPhone Pics, and edit them from there. It's a bit annoying sometimes when you try to take a photo and it rapid shoots half a dozen or so. I was surprised today when I was in J.B. Hi Fi, to see that you can still buy a Kodak Film Camera. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Those film camera's seem to be making a comeback. Should I put my ' enlarging & processing ' equipment up for sale . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post willedoo Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 I was looking through some files and found these photos of the last place I worked before retiring. It's in the vicinity of the Juniper oil field north of Innamincka. From memory, the camera was a compact Lumix and a lot lower megapixel rating than today's equivalent. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Willie, they are great photos of the interior. I had no idea the country N of Innamincka was that beautiful.

Bruce Tuncks Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The Innaminka pic and the first one with the water reminded me of how you found out if the water was too deep to drive thru... you first send your woman to walk it. If she disappears, then you don't drive in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
