i just got my new digital camera....i have been waiting for this for quite some time....it's an older *new to me* agfa 1680 ephoto, exactly the same as my mom's *kathypeach9*....here's a shot from my first shoot....i shot 11 pics, and about 5 were worth a dangg.....i guess i really need to practice!!! i checked out a ton of books from the library, too....so, hopefully thanggs will be better.....i have some better shots, but i'm saving those for some other projects....i'll keep you posted! ;o)

tam ;o)

This pic smells good! :-)

The image is so sharp and flawless..!
What is the pixel resolution for this image..?
And, what is the highest resolution of your new camera..?

Nowadays, I'm planning to buy one, but as I'm not familiar with them much, I cannot decide what the least resolution capacity must be for satisfactory results like this...

There are some pro cameras with 6.1 megapix capacity, But they are impressively expensive...
One camera that I thought a lot about was Sony Cybershot (3.3 megapix) which also is not that cheap, yet rather affordable...
And then comes the ones with lesser resolutions and cheaper prices, but they do not seem to be suitable to shoot for fine prints of A4 or A3 size...or, am I wrong..?

Congratulations for your new marvellous toy... :)

my cam is only 1.3 megapix....highest resolution is 1680 x whatever....this shot was taken @ 1280 x whatever, and reduced to 640 x 480....i knew the quality of this cam before i bought it, cuz my mom has had hers for over 2 years, and i have always been impressed with her pics! i picked mine up from ebay for $227 + $13 for shipping!!!! ;o)

Beautiful....nice and sharp!

Whoa. Miss. That's good stuff. I have looked at the cyber chot but it is SOOO small! Does any one think the Olympuses are of value? Bsteph

1.3 megapix..?!!! I have yet to learn many things, and it seems that I do not have to worry myself much with higher capacity and higher price cameras... Nice to hear this, and thanx... :)

Wow, this is simply gorgeous!! Excellent camera!! Leigh

Beautiful work, Tam, so fresh and springlike! :)

Nice pic, Tam - congrats on your new addition too!!! lol Doruk, I used to have a 1.3mp Fuji which printed out at A4 on an Epson very nicely. Even on the new one quite a few of my shots are still taken at 1680 x whatever too, and they have to be reduced substantially to fit on A4. What I found was well worth paying the extra for was the manual features and the zoom. Wouldn't go back to a fully auto for the world now! (Currently use Fuji 4900 and love it) (",)

Great shot daughter dearest. The Agfa 1680 ephoto has all the manual features of a 35mm camera and is also automatic if you want it to be. It has zoom on it, too. I have telephoto, wide angle and macro lenses for mine. I have never been sorry that i bought mine even though i paid $700 for it. My daughter was smarter and only paid $227+ shipping.

Nice pic, really nice. And dont worry, ratio of good vs. evil pics is said to be something around 1/30. But 1.3 Mpix? Huh, I tought those fellas can be found in museums only. ;oP Bstep, I have Cybershot, and its quite good, size is no bad thing at all. And before this, I used olympus, and hated every minute of it. .n
