New Camera Recommendation From K6AZ

I purchased the Nikon Coolpix 5400 that Eric recommended.

Here is a link to my first pic.

The one on the left is from the Nikon, and the one on the right is from
my old Sony Mavica FD73.

Not a bad photo for my first attempt and not making any effort trying to
light it properly.

Thanks Eric!

That's pretty good for a first shot Tim, and you're welcome. You just can't
beat that camera with the current rebate putting it under $300.

I can give you a great hint on lighting as well, if you have a Lowe's near
you. Sylvania now has a line of Halogen Floods that produce light as
white and as close to sunlight as the expensive photography lights. They're
called Daylight Plus, and can be purchased in 50w and 75w. I'm using two
50w and two 75w for my photographs.

I'll pick some up tomorrow.

Just put in some bids on your auctions on eBay.

Take care!

Great, show us some photos once you get those lights going.

Thanks, I saw that. The 90-O is really nice for the grade. Too bad for the typical
90-O strike.
