New Camera [pictures]

[Safety1st]

I treated myself to a fresh camera the other day, moving up from my digital compact to a digital SLR.

I'm very much a beginner and I took the DSLR out of the box with the same look on my face like a monkey picking up a Rubik's Cube.. ;D

Anyway, here's my first images with it, the subject is my Personal Protection Dog "Xena"...

Where is the new camera? :thinking:

Thanks for sharing. Looking at the bottom left of the image below, would that be your own shadow? So technically, this is a group action portrait!

Xena looks sharp

With Aloha,

The Pentax K100D Super is a great camera.

I have its immediate predecessor the K100D.

It was funny when I first saw the photos - I kind of suspected it may have been the K100D (Super) - due to a tendency for very saturated colors, and a leaning toward a sunny yellow cast (for my taste).

This is what the very comprehensive review at dpReview.com said about the K100D -

" The K100D's color response was quite similar to that of previous Pentax digital SLR's, that is quite highly saturated (vivid) in the default 'Bright' image tone, as can also be seen earlier in this review, it can lead to color clipping in certain situations (such as red flowers in direct sunlight). Switching to the Natural tone calms color saturation to more typical levels (compared to other digital SLRs). "

It's very easy to switch image tone modes -
Menu > Rec > Image Tone > Natural.

Try it and see if you prefer it.

The Pentax K100D is the dSLR I used in my thread -

eneloop vs. Kodak Pre-Charged Voltage Maintenance

I highly recommend the use of eneloops in the K100D - over any other brand of LSD NiMH - unless they are known/proven eneloop clones.
