Geforce 4

我比较喜欢摄影，因为手头的钱不多，刚刚买了fujifilm的s7000。很想向大家学习～
希望下次能和大家一起去摄影，学习学习～
谢谢～

能否多贴一些你的作品，给大家学习学习?  :rolleyes:

真想看看你的Canon 3拍的照片。在我的印象中，Canon 3 是仅次于Canon 1的相机，是非常高端

的相机。相信你一定有佳作吸引大家的眼球。:p

Hi, blackball,
什么时候用我的佳能3和你的D100比试比试。 你的两个尼康头是尼康的名头，看看我的佳能和你的差多远。顺便对你上的两张图乱说几句。 那张黑白的曝光有些过，使得亮区的细节损失很多。尼康头反差太大，照这一类图片是否加柔光片好一些。你的彩色那一张真是好片子。完全拿得出手。如果硬要鸡蛋里挑骨头的话，好像有一点跑焦。照人像焦点都对在眼球上，你的这一张似乎偏离了一点点，也许是人物不是静止的缘故。佳能机有对动态目标自动判断的功能。在曝光前的最后一刻，对焦点做出最后调整。D100也应有此功能。
说了这么多，完全是因为不希望摄影的话题因为灌水不多，被别的话题给压没了。不论我说什么，你都别介意。

用CANON3 跟我的数码比？？？！！！：）要比也跟我的F100比啊。
那张照片原片反差没这么大，在PHTOSHOP中改的黑白，同时增大反差。看过柱壮图，基本在三区，所以曝光应该不会太过。

From a specification / features point of view all of the cameras provide a very good range of photographic control and features. If we were to pick out one or two cameras I would probably put the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2, Nikon Coolpix 8700 and Sony DSC-F828 at the top. I'm also a big believer in the significant advantages of mechanically linked zoom rings and the DiMAGE A2 and DSC-F828 are the only two cameras here which offer that.

One camera appears to shine through from a performance point of view and that's the Sony DSC-F828 which was almost always responsive to use and delivers a more 'real time' photography experience. The Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom also performed very well, its sub one second startup time is a real eye opener.

It's interesting that the cameras from Nikon and Canon both delivered an average performance and the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom comes through strong with low noise, good white balance, good image processing and a quality lens which exhibits virtually no problems. The Sony DSC-F828 and Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 performed the least well, although the DSC-F828 delivered good results in most of the tests its strong purple fringing issue can't be ignored. The DiMAGE A2's 7x zoom lens is showing its age and really can't deliver consistently high resolution to this tiny eight megapixel sensor.
