niiiiiiice
It’s quite a bit heavier than the Nikon setup I had prior to it, deanobruce! But it’s been an absolute pleasure to shoot with.
All of my Nikon lenses were Polycarb, too. The L series definitely make for a more detailed shot.
ha ha, i use a 7mp fujifilm point and shoot, and have just been asked for some of my photos to be sold through a few surf stores on the coast here.

judge me.
Really don’t understand why people would?
Choosing to use that camera is no different to someone choosing to use a Holga, Nikon F4 or a Canon G11.
Just bought a new camera for snowboarding. I looked for “tough” cameras, because one time I borrowed a friend’s and the lense cracked when I fall. I ended up with Olympus TG-805. Anyone has any experience with this?
That camera does look hell strong though!
judge me.

looks pretty good to me….I’m no photographer though. I find it more interesting that so many people are willing to shell out so much cash on cameras and most of them have as much idea as me. which is none. Is it the camera or the photographer that makes the shots?
the camera can make any shot look sharp*, but the photog needs to know what to shoot/how to shoot
*there are many variables but you get the idea
It’s totally who’s behind the camera.
What’s that old saying, “Don’t blame the tool’s for bad workmanship”
& grahamgee, If I could “choose” a camera, I certainly would not be using my fujifilm, I’d have a mad dslr setup with a case of lenses for every occasion, however I do not wish to spend $2000 and up on a camera when I can get just as good, or even better results with a point and shoot.
I know a few guys who have gone and brought expensive canon 5d’s and what not, and always complain about how they can’t get good shots, and how do I manage to get better photos than them as if somehow having an expensive monster of a camera makes you a professional photographer.

This is why the internet is great in 2011.
I wasn’t having a dig at you at all, for any reason apart from stating ‘judge me’ at the end of your post. As I still think it makes no sense. You’ve obviously ‘chosen’ to stick with your Fuji, whichever way you look at it, you’ve got a choice not to, ultimately, don’t you? Not that THAT matters at all.
My view on this is neutral. If it hasn’t come across that way, I’m pointing it out.
I don’t see why, to the client/customer, it should matter what what device their service is being provided with (notice I said WITH, not BY).
Bottom line is whoever is behind the camera needs a keen eye. Sure, sometimes capturing a great shot is being in the right place at the right time (usually nature stuff) but at the end of the day you need to know how to operate whatever it is you’re using.
I’m still learning new things with my unit that I was quite comfortable with doing on my nikon.
I have been in situations where guys around me have had the whole kit and have turned around to ask me how to operate it. I’m not claiming to be a professional by the trade OR by the equipment I have worked hard to purchase on my own accord.
Also, I have found that in many cases, “better” photos are highly dependant on personal opinion and taste. A lot of people are absolute rubbish at taking constructive criticism and take it personally instead of taking it on board and learning from another’s perspective.

how did you get such a shallow depth of field on the the nail shot and xbox controller shot?

Super macro setting, does the job.
and grahamgee, I wasn’t having a go at you either. I’m just stating that you don’t necessarily need a mad dsrl setup to take good shots, which a lot of people think. Many people i know, have gone and brought dslr’s for thousands of dollars just because they think it will make them take better photos, they have their own photography websites and everything, yet most of their photos, while they are really great quality, suck balls in the creative and interesting category.
Anyone wanting to start in photography, look through others work first, get some ideas for out of the ordinary and interesting techniques which will set your work apart from the millions of other amateur photographers out there.

so, you admit that having a dslr results in higher quality images then 
Just think about how awesome your photos would be if they were taken with a larger sensor and quality glass.

35mm DSLR on the market today don,t differ at all from brand to brand. The most expenvise dont differ compared to the same price unit. The cheap DSLR all have the same quality and size CCD chip, lens and software as do the the more expenvise.They have a big chip but it is exactly the same as there counterparts.The mob that make the CCD,s make them for the whole of the industry. If the are talking Quality you have to talk trannie film. A good med or large format camera and the ability to use it.
