New Digital Camera

Feb 23, 2009

I really like my a new camera. My old one was the pits! I even went back to film because of that old piece of junk.

I purchaased a Canon EOS 50D digital SLR camera. It is really a significant upgrade. 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor so you can make tremendous print with little degradation. A 3″ LCD” view-screen so you can clearly see the images and settings. I got the package with 18mm to 200mm zoom lens. So it zooms from wide-angle to telephoto. With an aperture of f3.5 to f5.6 it’s not the fastest lens but it really is very versatile. What I am really crazy about is the low light performance. I have been shooting in very poorly lit rooms and I’m getting really great photos (photos posted later).

The 50Ds controls are quit complex and I’m still trying to figuer it out, so more later.

I found many GIMP tutorials on Youtube. If you don’t know about GIMP it is a great image manipulation (like Photoshop) program that is very powerful and absolutely free.
