My New Camera!! *has pics for those with 56k (get BB!)*

* I handed back the Canon A95 I got a few weeks ago cause it was not focusing in pretty much any situation, wandered what to do and, thanks to some excellent advice and having seen my bro's P100, I got the Sony P200 and I must say its very nice indeed. Here's the first [of many] snaps with my new P200.
the resolution was set to 3mp, not the top since I haven't got the new 1gig memory card yet (its on the way) and the quality is just staggering - better than the A95 i tried out at 5mpix...clearly there was something wrong with it :banghead: I can't wait to see this up at 7megpix where it can really show off! but anyway here's some shots to keep you all happy (I know I am):



its where I work...
here's another one that I took using macro settings



and a final one I took for a bit of fun, its looking back at myself through the reflective sticker on my pen-drive... i like it cause it catches a bit of the hologram name



all pictures are un-cropped and only the one of my work-place is brightened a small amount cause it looked a bit dingey...
proof? here:

Original, slightly adjusted.
and all hand held, no flash. they were all at around 1/30 or less and as you can see either i have very still hands or there is a bit of image stabilisation in the camera...either way I'm ecstatic at the results.
now just have to take some from Outside the lab!!

forgot to mention, I got it at Jessops for less than was advertised on many websites...and I didn't even haggle either!

Can you post one or two full res pics?

thought you were waiting on a 350D?

7MP for £250? Hmmm.... Yeah I'd like to see a couple of full res pics too if possible

hmmm...ok, I'll see what I can do. have a one gig card on the way that'll mean I can take full quality video as well as lots of pics

about the 350D - had a look at it yesterday, and its tiny. I mean it has a really small body...its almost too small to be honest. I'll have another check when I get back from france (going away in a week or so) but it is quite tight in the hands.
as far as solidity it is much more comfortable in that respect over the 300D. it certainly looks that part but I'm worried about the size. i don't know what the fascination is with trying to make things ever smaller, small is good but too small is not - that would put me off.

so, I'm still out for a dSLR...still be using my OM1 for the time being...
