That's a good setup.

how do you get pictures that clear I though the D70 was supposed to get a good camera but all the pictures I ever take are really really noisy and its starting to piss me off. Now granit I dont know how to use the setting yet so I have been using full auto mode but even in full auto mode I would think the pictures would be better from such and expensive camera.

It might be kicking your ISO up to 400 when you use auto. Try selecing one of the manual modes and turning down the ISO to 100 and see if it's any better.

Just turn the dial to "A" , push the ISO button on the back and select the lowest it can go (ie. 100 or 200). Also check the menus to make sure that you're using the "large fine" jpeg mode.

I still can't figure out why so many people in NA refer to the Rebel by its European/Japan name. Its as if all the reviews and info on the net are Euro only.

I think it's true Canon optics>Nikon optics. I have 50mm 1:1.4D on D100 and I don't think I have a picture as clear as Dan's. Or...maybe I should take some photography classes.

Thats debatable. Even a Canon guy like myself can't make a blanket statement like Canon>Nikon or vice versa.
Too many variables to consider. You probly need classes.

I picked up a tripod for $25 CAD on sale. Not the best obviously but it does the job. And I don't even have an SLR

A tripod is definitely a must have. I use mine quite a bit.

Thanks for your help.

Manfrotto/Gitzo > Velbon > no tripod ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Most of the Velbon equipment carried by local shops is pretty low end but they do make some nicer stuff. The only line I'd consider from them is the Sherpa Pro series but they're $$$ and really, for the same money I'd just rather have a Manfrotto or Gitzo.

I played with an XT a couple weekends ago and I was pretty impressed by it. The feature set is very similar to the 20D. I found it a little small in my hands but it would be nice to carry on vacation.

Thats quite a big jump in cameras Dan. I just sold my 300D and 10D. Im awaiting a new camera soon. Cameras are cameras however. Canon L Glass is beyond clear and crisp.
It appears to be an ISO issue.
Dont want to Hijack, but this was taking with a Canon EF 300 F2.8 (Touched up in photoshop, and it was a cloudy day which makes for unsaturated color)
Cheers!

Sounds like you guys are pretty serious digital photographers... just wondering what you guys think of a point-n-shoot dcam (with some manual settings) such as the Sony W1 with Carl Zeiss lens?
Not asking to compare to SLR/D-SLR, I know better than to put a compact cam against those... I just want to get a general feel of how you guys rank a camera like that

This thread is horribly off topic but somehow still useful. ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Nice shot JLavino!![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
The 300 f2.8 is a huge chunk-o-glass.
Is it yours or did you borrow it?
What's your next body going to be now that your cams have been sold?
The W1 is very nice P&S. I think the closest Canon would be either the SD400 or the A95. I really liked my A70 when I had it. The AA size batteries were very convenient.
