What Cameras .....

Do you guys have ???

I have a Nikon Cool pix 4300 4 mp and just bought a Nikon D40 6 mp.
I wish I had the $$$ to get a a 8 or 10 mp but no such luck. My new Nikon does a great job. Here is a photo I took Saturday morning at Cutler Marsh with the Wellsville mountain in the back. I printed this in a 8.5 x 11 and took it out side in the sun and you could not see any dots on the print. I had to use a magnifying lens to see the dots. I was very impressed with my camera and printer. :thumb

Nice picture. Don't underestimate a 6mp camera. I have a 16x24 I had blown off a 6mp file and I could go a bit bigger. I don't know anybody that can look at a 4mp, 6mp, 8mp or 10mp 8x10 and tell you which is which.

I am mainly shooting with a Pentax K-10 right now(it is a 10 meg).I will use my Panasonic FZ-20 while hunting because it will fit on my side were the K-10 is SLR so it is much bigger.The fz is only a 6 meg but takes awesome pics.

This was shot with the K-10

The k10 is very very sharp !!!! :thumb :thumb
I could see a big difference just going from my 4 to a 6 mp.
The prints from my 4 mp are a little grainy and in the sun they showed up like a sore thumb !! I thought it might be my printer But after printing a photo from my new 6mp I realized it was the camera. :>/ I think the next time I go out I will take both cameras and take a photo with each and see what happens. :-k


What lens did you use ???

The Fz has a fixed lens of 12X and 4 Digital (I never use the digital zoom)
The pic taken with the Fz was about 20 yards.

The pic taken with the K-10 was a 100-300 lens (Sigma), and I was about 35 yards away.

BTW.............. Very cool picture you took UtahRob!

Also when you go out and shoot with both your cameras make sure to shoot off a tripod so they both are really the same picture any movement will compromise the clarity,even just pushing your Shutter button. but you should see a little difference in the two but not a whole lot.I had a Coolpix 4300 as well a few years ago and I think it took better pics than my Coolpix 7900 and it was 7 meg.That 4300 really takes good pics for a older 4 camera.

This was taken with my 4300 in 2004 and probably 80yds.
so you can really see the difference in how good a picture will be, using any camera the closer you get the better the pic will be, I could not get very close to these Goats so they are not great.

I just recently bought my wife (and myself :thumb ) the cannon xti 10mp camera, love the pics it takes but a bit on the bulky side for packing on hunting trips, so i also have my trusty pentax optio sv 5mp camera.

Love the photo of the marsh. Okay Okay you don't have to twist my arm, I will come duck hunting with you next year, you don't need to ask again. :)

Well I took my Nikon D40 6 mp back after having trouble with it focusing.

So I just Ordered a canon EOS 20 D 8.2 mp. I have always been a Nikon guy but after having to return the last two Nikon's I have decided to try canon. There is a web site that I have been looking at for the last week that shows reviews on camera. I thinks you might enjoy it. It also has a forum for just about every camera . Here it is !!
