congrat~! on new camera! take some pics and post'em up!

 

i will when it get here... i had to order it online


did the express ship... it gets here Weds

 

Great camera, I have the A100 and am well happy with it. 10-20mm sigma lens is great for car pics too!

 

You will have fun with these cameras the only bad thing is how expensive the lenses can set you back. I already got close to 3K in lenses alone not to mention the camera body. On another note are you still on Xbox Live?

 

i am.. but not with my SD Zdori tag... it exp so i use my roommates MTN13...

but yea the only problem i have is lenses .... ever time i look i cringe. I'm try getting some of the Minolta lenses 1st when the time comes... for right now this should be good.

I have had about 500 clicks so far on my buddies A100... but i never had the time to just spend a day with it messing around with settings.

 

maybe look into getting a monopod if you're going to a drag strip racing event...

 

eh.... i like to be low.... these off a a100...

 

how much did u get it for?

 

500 for the camera
230 for the lens
70 for the 8gb card

 

Lets see what you can do with your new toy.

 

battery is on the charger right now... i need go to the store and buy a bag and tri-pod.... but i can't wait...... NO MORE CYBER SHOT, NO MORE BORROWED CAMERAS

 

well just took a few snaps, only really played with the shutter speed.

tomorrow i'll prolly take a walk to the park and practice with all the settings.












i'm already in love with this piece.... a very improvement over the A100. the controls are alot smoother, not so notchy. Even tho the made it a lil smaller it still fits perfect in my hands, extremely comfortable. The speed is so fast, you can take pics fast enough to make a lil flip book, very nice.

can't wait for tomorrow .... just wish my car was running so i could do a lil photoshoot.

 

some more practice.... full manual

 

Looks great!!

JC take the long shot of the street and make it B/W. Would make a kewl shot.
