I just bought the 20D myself... I love it! Totally off topic, though...

20D rules! Use C1 Pro for RAW processing.

FikseGTS & Joseph Dell, can either of you post a picture of your camera please? And how many megapixel is the 20D, judging the GIANT pic about 8?

 

[Simms]

Great shot, and car!

 

[Neil - UK]

that high res pic is sweet i now need a new camera

 

[FikseGTS]

ab, the specs on the sony look great.... this is a digital SLR, so it's tough to compare....

here are the specs on the 20D, it's 8.2 megapixel:

of course, if you really want to spend some $$ you can go with the new 16.6 megapixel, Canon 1Ds Mark II.... let's see... supercharger for the viper or a digital camera....

Fikse: GREAT looking car, what a difference the wheels make ! ! (outstanding pic and camera angle also...)

 

[Go Fast For Life]

What an awesome camera. I have been thinking about buying one too. Which lens did you use for this pic?

 

[FikseGTS]

thanks for the comments.....

Go Fast For Life, It's been great so far....

I used a Canon 50mm 1.8 for that shot.... I have quite a few other lenes for all kinds of different shots.... my normal everyday lens is the Canon EF 28-135mm IS....

check out this shot I got with the Canon 100-400mm IS:

Awesome pic Fikse, That car looks beautiful.

Ab I too have the DSC-F828 and if you really learn how to use it especially in full manual mode, you can pictures that are pretty close to as sharp as that. The problem is that (and I don't know how well versed you are in photography), most people, myself included when I first got the camera either go to shutter priority or aperture priority and then let the camera do the rest for them. If you really want professional looking results with the F828, you gotta do EVERYTHING, spot metering, evaluative white balance, continuous AF, and full manual mode. Also, DSLR's are in a completely different league than fixed lens cameras when it comes to picture quality and Depth of Field within photos. Sorry for the HiJack

Cool looking pictures. And I thought 5 mp was a lot for cameras.
