Kodak Vs Panasonic Cameras?

Question by michelle: Kodak Vs Panasonic Cameras?
I’m sorry but this is going to be long…
I have Kodak EasyShare Z740 (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/z740.html) and I can’t stand it! :c( Has anyone else had problems with their pictures coming out with flat, abnormally bright, almost cartoonish colors when printed at a store? If I’m looking at them on my computer they are fine, it’s just when I get them printed.
I had Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC33 (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/lc33.html) before this and I LOVED it! The pictures came out awesome! They were crisp and the colors were vivid but natural looking and looked just as good as my Canon EOS slr. My Kodak has a higher megapixel rate than my Panasonic and my Panasonic still came out better so please don’t tell me that it all depends on the megapixel rate. I’ve tried touching up my Kodak’s pictures and it gets even more cartoony. Does anyone have and suggestions??? I get my prints done at Walmart. Could that be part of the problem? Where does everyone else get them done?
Unfortunately I had my first Panasonic in my book bag one day with a bottle of wine and my roommate dropped the bag on the floor and the camera got soaked. It was going to cost me more to fix it than what I paid for it.
Has anyone used the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 6MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/fz7.html)? I’m thinking about switching back…
I’ve looked up the reviews for it I’m just looking for personal experience. I think that people who have always had a Kodak might not have a comparison for picture quality or they aren’t printing them out and that’s why its getting such great reviews
Would you chose the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 or the Kodak EasyShare Z740? Any comments/advice would be more than welcome! Thanks! :c)

Recommended D-SLR Cameras?

Question by Stephanie C: Recommended D-SLR Cameras?
What brand would you recommend? And why?
Don’t worry about price differences. I’m not too worried about that. But I would like a high MP camera that produces great pictures.
I was thinking about gettting the Canon Rebel XTi. Has anyone used this camera, and would you recommend it?
I’m open to just about anything, so let me know what you would recommend. =]

An added bonus: if it takes great pictures at concerts. That’s one of my main troubles in finding a good camera…because the one I have now doesn’t work all that great at concerts.

Best answer:

Answer by Cherish F
I just bought a Canon Rebel XTi last fall and I freakin’ love it, love it, love it! I have had a great time playing with all the manual settings. You SHOULD be able to get some great concert photos out of it if that’s what you are looking for. I have done many, many shots in mixed lighting atmospheres including concerts, xmas lights at night, the solar eclipse etc. etc. It took me a while to learn how to get my setting the way I wanted them but that all depends on the person – how much time you have to play with it and how specific you want to get! lol So far, I have not come across anything that my camera has not been able to photograph beautifully! The auto settings work pretty good but of course you will get better results if you read the user manual and use the manual settings.
So far I haven’t printed any photos larger than an 8×10 but they are crystal clear, just like a regualr 4×6.
I hope you get some great advice here and find a camera that is right for you. Of course, I would try to promote you to go with the Rebel, but that is because it has been so good to me (I’m a photography student)! lol

Is there a direct process for making color transparencies from a D-SLR camera?

Question by byecel: Is there a direct process for making color transparencies from a D-SLR camera?
A friend of mine wants me to use my Nikon D50 (d-SLR) to make color transparencies of her jewelry. Can I do that? How many steps to this process?

Best answer:

Answer by MARCO C
Polaroid used to make some kind of device that enabled you to make 35mm slides from images stored on a PC. I don’t know whether they still make it, but my guess is that if they do, it will be expensive. A pro processing lab may able to make 35mm slides for you from digital images – pro labs tend to be listed in photography magazines in the back pages.

You’re probably asking about how to take picture with a shallow depth of field, yes?

In that case, read this: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.htm

It’s not really what your camera can do, but what your lens can do. Cheapest way would be go and get a 50mm f/1.8 EF lens, it’s so cheap every Canon shooter should have one in the bag, unless you want something better.

Digital Camera…canon sx110, sd880 or panasonic tz5?

Question by Mom of 4: Digital Camera…canon sx110, sd880 or panasonic tz5?
I have always had good experiences with my Kodak cameras however none of the newest models appeal to me, so after reading so many reviews on how great CANON cameras are, I thought I’d look into a few of them.
I really like the 10x zoom on the 110 and tz5 and the 28mm wide anlge lens on the 880 and tz5. however i have read the tz5 does not produce good pics in low light situations, which is my primary background of indoor shots of my 4 kids. i like the playback feature without powering up the camera on the 110, but i read the flash recycle is a bit longer than the 880. any help or suggestions?

Best answer:

Answer by Saxeli G
sd880 or if you need high quality zoom option then sx110
