what camera

i have a kodak zd710 which comes with eletronic veiwfinder.a great little camera

I have a Nikon F55 SLR (not digital)), a Nikon D50 Digial SLR and a Nikon coolpix L5 pocket camera. Besides a Nikor 300mm lense as accesory for both the SLRs.
All three take very good pictures. I have loads of pictures, my most favorite are the ones I took during my two safaris in Kenya. :thum::thum::thum:

I work in the photography department of a college and we have had some good use from Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 point and shoot cameras - they are reliable, have a good lens that give good sharp images - great for a point and shoot camera.

I have a cheap little camera w. video, a Medion, 5.0 mega pixels, 3x optical zoom. I just used it once and the pictures came out nice, and for a beginner, like me, just the right thing.
Still have to learn all the functions.
Thats one thing I dont like about the camera, buttons are very small and not self explanatory.

Hope I can learn a little bit more here :thum:

I have a Konica FT-1 SLR 35mm motorised film camera,
24mm F2,.
28 to 70mm zoom,
50mm 1.8,
85mm 1.8,
70 to 210 zoom,
bellows,
slide copier,
will buy a digital camera one day

i have an old Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 with 5 MP and amazing 6X optical Zoom and Optical Image Stabilization ( Anti-shake ) function (the only camera in this class with 6 x optical zoom and anti-shake).
i use it 4 2 years now with great ease and great image quality and it s just satisfactory.no need 2 buy another one.
a masterpiece from Panasonic

I use a Fuji FinePix S9500, 9 mega pixel camera. It does everything I want and saves the hassle of lugging a bagful of lenses around. I use the 5meg pix camera on the Nokia N95 a lot too; not sure this counts as a camera though.

Just got an early Christmas present for giving someone advice with a few reception problems on digital terrestrial & saved them a packet :thum:
2nd hand Fuji FinePix S5600 with 10x zoom & 2GB XD card only had to buy a card reader for £9.99

To say the truth....I don't know how to shoot but I want to start in this hobby.
Looking forward to attend a photography course.
Useless to say....digital camera is amazing.
I put a photo I recently shot.
Would appreciate any comments from everyone to improve my skill(if any)...!!

Colors look nice, etienne , thank you for sharing
I agree with Rock about the plant - Photography is
a great Hobby, a course will definately help but practise is
everything
Hope we will see more photos from you :thum:

I will post some more photos featuring Maltese heritage!!
Maybe I will be the trigger for some of you across our border to pay us a visit!!
I thank you for the comments!!
Will try to improve by experience and some theory.

Edited photos

With etienne30's kind permission I quickly edited two of his photos (maybe I was a little bit harsh on the enhancements but its better to show the difference). If your camera is supplied with its own photo enhancement software don't be afraid to use it, these are easy to use.

By the way Rocknroll, unwanted objects on the photo can be easily removed by a more professional software...........can you spot the difference here.....

Almost exactly 12 months after the launch of the Cyber-shot DSC-H2 and DSC-H5 Sony announced the replacement cameras; the DSC-H7 and the top-of-the-range model reviewed here; the DSC-H9. That Sony chose to increase the pixel count (to 8MP) and to include this year's 'must have' features (face detection and ludicrously high maximum ISO) can't have surprised many, but there are a few less predictable new features, and a few welcome changes. The former include Sony's unique 'NightShot' infra-red mode (seen on many camcorders as well as a few Cyber-shots over the years), a 15x zoom and HDTV (well, 1080i) output. The latter include an articulated (tilt-up) screen, improved focus system, faster performance and a new (in the box) remote control.

The super-zoom market is still one of the most competitive sectors and the H9 is up against some stiff competition from old foes such as Panasonic, Canon and Olympus. The H2 and H5 were both well-received when reviewed this time last year, so let's find out if Sony has built on that success or not.
