;) ;) WoW Great Pics & Congrats on New Camera.. Your Pups Are So Adorable..
Great pictures! Your two are always so beautiful. :)
Nice pix, thanx for posting.
You'll love that S5 for a long time to come. I own the S1 & S3. I debated on getting the S5 but settled for the Rebel XTi instead.
Buddy and Sierra are both adorable. Very nice pics! Oh and I love your blue walls. :D
Congrats! What wonderful pics. That sweet Buddy. I just love seeing him. And Sierra is so pretty. That blue wall sure brings out their colors. I hope that new camera can bring you lots of enjoyment.
The S5 should have a 'flash compensation' adjustment in it just like the previous S Series cameras. You should be able to access it through the 'FUNC' button. Scroll the highlighted area down to the pix of the lightening bolt with the +/- sign next to it. That's your flash compensation. -1 would decrease the flash power by 1 stop (that's a technical photography term) and +1 would increase your flash power by 1 stop. Try it with an inannamate (sp?) object and see the difference in how far your flash will throw light as well as how bright it is on the different compensation settings. Make sure you use the same focus point in your tests otherwise you won't get a true reading of the differences.Quote:

The S series cameras are known as 'Pro-sumer' cameras. They are technically more advanced than simple point and shoots but are still below the level of DSLR.Quote:

If you want video stick with the S series cameras (S3 prices keep falling everyday and there's very little difference between that and the S5) but if you want changeable lenses, better sensors, better resolution then go with the DSLR.
BTW I can tell you for a fact that the resolution on a 8mp 'Pro-sumer' camera is no where nearly as good as that of the same MP count on a DSLR and the ISO quality on a DSLR is better at 1600 than the point and shoot or 'Pro-sumer' cameras are at ISO 400. Depending on what kind of pix you want to take that may be a factor in your decisions on whether to go with the S series or the Rebel. I love both versions: my S3 with super macro and video for quick easy pix, and I totally love being able to use my super power zoom lenses and better ISO speeds with the Rebel XTi for my more advanced creativity and low light shots.
I firmly believe that no one camera is right for everyone and which one you choose depends heavily on what you want to do with it, how far you want to go with it, and how easy it is for you to actually shoot pix with.
As for name brands.....well let's just say that my Rebel XTi is my 6th Canon camera since 1992, I seriously think Canon should pay me for my advertisement over the years. ROFL
Thank you SO much for sharing these pictures! It's funny that you posted these now...I was just thinking about how great it would be to own a GSD, but was getting a little bummed out knowing that I'd have to wait a few years until I finish HS and college. This certainly gave me my GSD fix! :D
Great pictures as well -- Canon is the way to go!
those are awesome Angie!!
Congrats on the new pressie! :D
Lovely pictures, Sierra and Buddy are so gorgeous. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...miles/love.gif Thanks for sharing. :D
I know she looks like she could have husky in her, but I've seen too many Sable GSD's that could be her twin to think otherwise.Quote:

Catlady711- Thank you SO much for the info!
I know I have a lot to learn with this camera!
Great pictures of Sierra and Buddy, Angie! I love German Shephards although I will probably never own one of my own. I guess because I grew up with Rin Tin Tin. They are such beautiful dogs. I am glad you got a new camera - it's so much fun taking pictures when you know you are going to get a good one!
Beautiful pictures! Congrats on the new great camera!
Is that a real brick wall you painted? That must have taken forever!!! :eek:
Actualy, I used a short nap roller and ever so carefully rolled over the wall and because the bricks are higher, the roller only painted the bricks! ;)Quote:

I've always wanted a blue kitchen and now I have it and I love LOVE it!
That color blue makes a great back ground for the pups!
Here's a picture that shows all the bricks that were painted.

You're welcome. Any new camera requires learning a lot of new features, that's part of the fun of it sometimes.Quote:

I've got an internet friend across the continent from me who I regularly help with her Canon camera. She sometimes sends me some pix and asks how she can make them better. The internet is a wonderful thing. lol
Lucky lady! Great pics of your kids. Bet you're having fun with the new toy. :)
