However I have been in the photography business since the mid 1950s and have learned to test it myself, under the conditions I will use it and form my own judgement. So far I am very pleased. Bob, I'm glad you are happy with it. Hey if it works for you great. What type of photography do you do if I may ask? I'm also curious to know if you feel it is $1000 better then the F717? I would love to be proven wrong on the F828. I just can't get over the pictures I've seen posted. I mean, I'm not a professional photographer, but I know that the pics I've seen are not good. -- Like a game of pick up stick played by ****ing lunatics |

Tell me the differences between the 828 and the coolpix 5700 (Which I
currently own). I feel the 5700 is extremely lacking with low light (indoors) situations. I have been shooting some indoor non-flash concerts and really would like something that will focus faster. Any thoughts? In article , Bob Salomon wrote: It seems much faster then my 717 or any of the Coolpix models I had from the 950 to the 5700. |

For $999 .. get an EOS 300D or D70 [+some $ for the lens ] soon.
F828 can't focus as fast as your hand do I bet. =bob= "Fulci Argento" wrote in message ... Tell me the differences between the 828 and the coolpix 5700 (Which I currently own).

I have been shooting some indoor non-flash concerts and really would like something that will focus faster. Any thoughts? I'd suggest the Canon EOS Digital Rebel for $999. No, not the EOS 300 D, since that is the overseas version of the Digital Rebel, but the American version....if you're in the US. Otherwise, the 300D is the one for you. The reason I suggest this is because I bought one, and I read articles about it, and you can't focus any faster than the Rebel can. When I gave the Rebel to my daughter for Christmas, she already had the Nikon 5000, and the Nikon 5700, and I'll admit that they both did an admiral job of taking pictures, but they can't compare to the Rebel. When I gave my daughter the Rebel for Christmas, I had charged the battery pack the day before, knowing that she would want to use it Christmas day. She opened the box, attached the included lens, and fired off 6 consecutive shots of her boyfriend, who was sitting across the table from her. The camera focused, and flashed for all six shots, which were taken in less than 3 seconds, and every shot was perfectly focused and lit. The articles that I read about it included one where a photographer used it to cover a car race. He said that even at 200 MPH, every shot he took of the cars as they passed him were perfectly focused. Reading this and watching my daughter shoot that rapid sucession of pics, I was/am totally impressed with that camera. It's well worth the money. Oh, and the included rechargeable batteries are good for about 400 shots, using the flash for half of them. They do offer a double battery pack that attaches to the bottom of the camera, that's good for about 1000 shots, using the flash for 50% of the time. My daughter uses hers for weddings, and the last one she did, she took over 300 pictures, and had plenty of battery power to spare. The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the camera is made of high impact plastic, not metal. They did this to hold down costs. I have no problem with this, since I take care of my cameras, but some people prefer a metal housing. Anyway, I hope I was able to help you in some small way.... -- Dekoda |
