Digital Photography (2nd Edition)

Does the sharpness/quality/whatever of the picture have something to do with the camera being an SLR? Because this is what I've noticed in most photos here. If this is the case, then I will definitely have to buy a digital SLR (Sony Alpha, Canon EOS, whatever) once I get a work abroad. Hehe..

I have this photo I took last week using a point-and-shoot digicam (5 megapixel at 35-220mm zoom or 6X). But I have noticed that the picture (especially the edges) are not very sharp. Overall the picture itself too is not fine, it's kinda grainy with some spots.

Does my photoeditor also have something to do with downgrading the quality of a picture? (I'm currently using photoshop) Also, what do you recommend when resizing a photo (like the compression, etc..etc..).

Compared with Vangogh's photo:
(very fine, sharp, and focused)

@Arnoldsa..your obeservation on P&S foto quality is just typical..you can't expect a detailed and sharp output from a P&S since the sensor used on this cam tends to be smaller than their DSLR counterpart.

bigger sensor=bigger pixel coverage=better image =)

btw, alpha is going for around 51k ( i can get u one if u want) but i hear it isnt that good daw.
i think EOS parin would be a good buy. 400D is due to be out next month (september 8 in other countries and expected end of september sa pinas), so expect many 350D users may what to upgrade therefore slightly used 350D pickings should be a lot, hehe or if you want brand new talaga, the 400D will be less than $900...very affordable for that it offers. again, i think this will be another best in market product.

i think i'll go for this new canon model ... canon xti-p aka 425D canon's latest dslr camera phone, dungan ni sila ug release sa canon xti aka 400d, pero kini nga model specially made for the philippine market kay grabe kuno ang celphone market diri hehehe

by the way, dont worry about accidentally pressing the key pad of the phone, this has a keypad lock option too
and you can answer calls thru the shutter release button and activate a bluetooth headset that comes with the package.
text messages can be displayed in the viewfinder... but this will be available once the hack firmware will be out
a battery grip is also available

joke joke joke  :mrgreen:
