I can't believe what's coming out of this D30. This camera is an absolute blast.
I see bunches of images coming out of people's cameras but I'm not reading any reports of anybody having fun?
Don't want no more tech reviews
It's all about image and how to get it to print at this time and point.
I've marveled at the menu selection while playing with the ability to change color balance on the fly all the while taking different images in underexposed/overexposed, flash fill and straight flash conditions. I've checked out flash vignetting on wide angle lenses and marveled at the IS feature rumbling in my fingers of a tele-zoom lens. I've played with the ability to add dynamics to the image through multiple image bursts as the scene unfolds before the camera's lens and panoramically stitched images just to see how I could screw them up
Then the coolest part of the whole process kicks in, the immediate gratification process. Take your image, run inside, process the digital neg and voila, coming out of your printer is the image you just captured a few minutes ago. Wooooooa, way cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can shoot up the equivalent of a 36 plus roll of film, down load to the computer, erase the images off the memory card and I'm off to the races with a new roll of film, any ASA that my heart can stand No longer do you have to worry about storing film in the fridge or taking time out to go to the camera store that's always closed when I need film. No more tourist stores will rip this rube off again No longer do you have to worry about having film processed in image destroying hot accelerator baths so the sample neg can be cropped/enlarged in time for you to pay some custom lab fees to enlarge an image which may be questionable when finished and end up in the bin labled: "Well I guess that didn't work"
I'm currently having fun taking still "ART" images. Tried posting a couple of the images but the transfer process trashed the images so badly that it hardly made sense to bore you with the results.
Having fun with this referb'd D30 is a complete understatement.
My main lens for the curious, at this time and point, a Sigma 15-30mm. Anybody that doesn't think this sucker is sharp, need to get glasses ASA better known as ISO, keeping it down in the 100 - 200 range and the lack of noise in these HUGE (20" X 30", 72dpi) images is absolutely phonomenal. You can see the fuzz on the fuzz that's buried in the knit of a sweater The color saturation is as pure as I've seen and blows this old school nut case out of the water.
I'm now in need of one of those spyders to help with the calibration process between the monitor and the printer.
