It's Been Awhile

Hard to imagine it's been so long since I last posted anything.

Our family lost a dearly loved member. But he would certainly chide me for not pursuing what I love.

I purchased a 10 megapixel Sony A100. I selected this camera mainly because I can use my "old" Minolta Maxxum lenses. So now I'm enjoying using a SLR again! The first shot is from my Cannon S2IS 5 megapixel camera. It's small, light and has a 12X optical zoom. The last two shots are from the Sony. Right away you can see how 2X the pixels provides for more detail and texture. And of course a higher quality lens helps too. The Sony is twice the size and weight of the Cannon. The Sony body was just a little more money than the Canon. Buying a lens similar to my Minolta 35mm-105 Zoom/Macro it would have added 50% more.
Both cameras have advantages and disadvantages depending on what type of shooting you want to do.
