Fuji F10 close-ups

Not sure if this is the best spot to post these, but here goes:

beautiful series Bill!

Very nice images Bill. Good samples to see that 6MP is enough. #4 is my fave with very well captured 3D. A good basis for some PP to "pimp" the image.

[Katastrofo]

Poilu and Rolf, thanks, it's a great little camera to pack around and 6MP
is adequate for web posting.

Yeppie, it is a good 'un ...

Thanks, Paul and Attila, love this little camera.

I'm impressed.

Nice! I have a Fuji Finepix S3000 (3.1mp) that I bought new 5 or 6 years ago. Even 3 mp is more than enough for posting on the Internet, and I've always been quite happy with the image quality of that little camera. An example:



I've always liked Fujinon lenses. What I like least about mine is shutter lag, which can be way too long. How is it on your F10?

[Katastrofo]

Excellent shot, Michael, and it looks like you used flash, too. Yes, there is
definitely something with the Fujinon lenses. This camera gives me more of
the 3D effect than just about anything I have.

Shutter lag is a problem with the F10, too, -1 for that.

[cooltouch]

Oh yeah, I used a flash. I can recall back then that Fuji made some rather high-end zoom-lens SLR-type digicams that were maybe 6mp or more and sold for hundreds of $$$. Nowadays they probably go for pretty cheap. I wouldn't mind finding one of them one day to add to my small collection of digicams, mostly because of the quality of the optics.

I was impressed with one guy's shots that were from the S5000, must have
been close to 4 years ago. Isn't that series what they call a "bridge camera"?

[cooltouch]

Yeah, bridge cameras are also sometimes called "ZLRs" as in zoom lens reflex. The concept has been around since the late 1980s. Olympus was one of the first to market one, as I recall.

[Katastrofo]

Those cameras are nearly the size of a DSLR and the F10 is not much larger
than a deck of cards. Here's one more flower shot from that day:

[cooltouch]

Yeah, while my S3000 takes decent pictures, it's just about worn out. I have to tape the battery cover closed and the main control dial is so worn its detents are now mostly just "suggestions." And it routinely shuts itself off when I turn the on/off switch from off to 'preview' to 'on'.

Excellent Bill!!

[Katastrofo]

I certainly recommend the F10 for a packaround if you can find one.

Klaus, thanks, here are a few grabs from today:









A lot of noise in the last due to high ISO for the low light and of course,
subject matter. lol Larger files on the close-ups look better than these.

[Katastrofo]

Eeyore_nl, I certainly agree this is nowhere near the quality of a DSLR. The
thing I've found is I'm getting shots that would be missed with such: pulling
the DSLR/SLR out of camera bag, taking off the lens cap, focusing, snapping
the picture. The grasshopper jumped a split second after taking that shot.

It's about getting a picture or no picture at all because you didn't lug around
your camera bag.

[cooltouch]

Bingo. My daughter carriers her little 10mp Canon A1000IS around everywhere she goes. It's so small -- about the size of your average cell phone these days -- it'll fit just about anywhere. A good reason in itself to carry one with you.

A shot that might be of lesser image quality than that achieved with a DSLR is infinitely better than no shot at all.
