DSLR Picture Clarity
Discussion
Quick question about the clarity of the photos in this thread Cheddar Gorge Meet
- I guess this is due to noise but sure someone can confirm.
On this thread there is a clear difference between some pictures and others... i'm guessing that the clear vibrant ones were taken with DSLR. Lower noise, or better lens?
I also guess that it's not due to resolution because the pictures are resized, and compact cameras have plenty of MP these days.
Is that correct? I find it interesting seeing them side by side.

While the film or digital CCD will make an impact, by far the most difference will be the lens and any camera shake due to either poor technique or slow shutter speed. You can take a poor picture on a £3,000 camera if you buy a £100 lens for the front of it.
You will notice that my pictures are relatively sharp and clear. Most of that is down to making sure I'm shooting at 1/250th or above, and sharp, 'fast' lenses.

I used a Tokina 20-35mm f/2.8 ATX PRO on an EOS 5D Mk2.
It's a pretty sharp lens for what I paid for it about 6 years ago - about £600.
I would like the 24-105 f/2.8 Canon L as it is sharper still, but it's a grand and frankly mine's alright at the moment.
ETA: Got the Canon lens wrong!

Actually, I know what he meant, and could of was right in that context.
Nope - but here endeth my misunderstanding of what you meant ! There is no context in which "could of" is correct unless as part of two separate grammatical phrases eg. "I took as many photographs as I could of the paint drying". Anyway, back on subject (apologies to the OP and you if I missed what you were getting at
Cirks, if you re-read 4Hero's reply, he is saying that warrantee, could of and definately come from the same place as lense - i.e. from the pens (keyboards) of dumbed down Britain.
So you will see that my further reply, that 'could of' was right in that context, was actually correct. Neil was pointing out that 'could of' was often used in place of could have, but to make that point he had to use the incorrect could of, correctly.

Amount of mp is largely irrelevant. My D1 (9 years ago) had 3mp - it took MUCH better photos that 10mp point and shoot cameras today. It's the size of the sensor, not the amount of pixels squeezed onto said sensor that is important. Chuck in decent glass...(and someone who's read and understands the manual) and that's why some photos are good and most are crap.DIW35 said:

Warranty - Some form of guarantee covering goods or services
Warrantee - The person to whom said warranty has been granted
Warrantor - The person providing said warranty
Am I missing something?
