Stefan's garters

[Stefan-A]

Thanks.

How many MP is your cam?

Only five. I've been planning to get a new one, but a good camera costs too much.

Here's just the face, original size:



Very grainy.

I have been stuck with a 3.5 MP for about 4 years now, for exactly the same reason.

Sure they have inexpensive upgrades available now, but if I am going to spend that money, I rather pay a bit more and get a REAL camera.

Thanks for posting up that face shot

Back in 2005 the local newspaper sent a reporter out to do a story on my race track, I want the canon camera the reporter had, it was amazing, when he clicked the button, it shot frames as fast as any 35mm I have ever seen.

The reporter was really cool, he snapped 85 photos, only 4 made it to the paper. He was nice and let me copy all 85 files off his memory card to my PC before he left

When he took pictures of the guys slamming machines into the mud bog at speed, his camera captured every droplet of water suspended in the air, sort of "Matrix" looking style.

When I asked, he said the camera was thousands of dollars to buy

That's right. I would need about 1000€ to get a basic DSLR and a basic macro lense. Unfortunately, there's no class of cameras in between the one I have now and DSLR cameras.

That's where I'm at, too, Stefan. Mine is 7.2, crisp & clean, but just too slow. I've had this one for a year and a half and at the time the next step up was a rather steep one.

You should have heard that shutter click on the news reporters camera, I'd bet 3 per second or more would not be any exaggeration.

The big difference is CPU and buffer RAM speed, His memory card was no different than anyone elses...

The 3 things that contribute to cost.

CCD (the optical sensor behind the lens) - Higher quality silicon chips are needed to make the best ones.

CPU - That's right almost everything these days has a CPU, and top technology costs.

Buffer ram, that is your image capture speed, more ram = faster snapshots and more of them.

Sorry Stefan, I didn't mean to turn your Garter thread into a camera discussion...

Sorry Stefan, I didn't mean to turn your Garter thread into a camera discussion...

It seems to bother you more than it does me. But you can always start a new thread or pick up an old one if you don't want to talk about cameras here.

[infernalis]

Im happy to talk anything anywhere, Just attempting to be somewhat respectful.

I just recently bought a Sony Cybershot 8.1 MP, only bad thing is the Optical Zoom, is only a 3X, it's got a touch screen, very easy to use & I love it!!!

Stefan, you have some awesome garters...

[adamanteus]

Stefan, you have some awesome garters...

Ain't that the truth..... and his photographic talent/abilities show them off to their best, despite his less than perfect camera.
More recent photos please, Stefan..... how's the tetra doing these days?

Mine's a Cybershot as well(DSC-H5), but has the 12x optical zoom. I love everything about it except the delay
