Now that I've got my Disney shots in the computer, I'm much more pleased with the sharpness of the lens. Judging sharpness with the screen on the back of the camera doesn't work too well. No, this is a Tokina 12-24mm at 12mm you do get some curvature of the image |

Thanks, I really didn't do much different, except play with the shutter speed, aperture and ISO. On every shot, I took numerous shots playing around with the settings. The green color from the docks lights had to do with the lighting used by the marina. It did not look green to look at it, but it came out of the camera with the green shade. Somethings I did learn is I need to get a black cloth to cover the eye piece during the long exposure and also need to use the auto timer so I won't have to hit the shutter release button. Some nice photos were blurred because I shook the camera on the tripod as I hit the button, or it may have been the dock moving. I also want to buy a bulb so I can take some exposure longer than 30 secs, especially for some sky photos in the mountains. The D200 included a mask for the viewfinder when taking long exposures or using the timer. Of course, I left mine at home when I went on the trip, so no timer shots were made. I know, but it is much easier to use a cloth than try to slide it in after you have adjusted your composition. By the time you get that sucker in, you have moved the camera and tripod all over the place |

I was an avid 35mm guy in my day, even took some classes at a community college close by. It's interesting when you do just like you did, take several shots using different settings and record what you did with each. A bulb is nice, just because of what you stated, camera shake. I'm looking for a point and shoot for my daughter, don't want to spend too much, maybe a couple hundred, but also want to avoid shutter lag, which, is kind of a misnomer, because it's usually processor lag! Go get her a Nikon D50. The shutter lag, if it exists, cannot be noticed. She can use it as a point and shoot just by leaving all the settings in the default mode. That's what my wife does. |

Maybe I'll try mine out and see if it needs trimming. |

It takes SD cards and has little if any shutter lag. 5MP, 3X zoom, All the standard features and pretty good software/tools. It took 4 days of photos for her trip, the quality is awesome, the auto functions did their job at many different events and exhibits, and lighting conditions. Not so great at the opera, long at night like any smaller digital, but for a purse camera, you cant go wrong at 90 bucks.. |

I have been taking a bunch of shots lately with my Kodak D40 I may put up sometime, but nothing like this, nice job. |
