--Keep the F30(I gave mine to my dauther and she likes it a lot and
do pretty fine pictures with it by the way).
Not whitstanding that I am her father she is a pretty dawn good
Photographer.
I am so sorry for your teacher,it's heart is really fragile(lol)
By the way,you are trowing away a great camera by rejecting with such
candor the Fuji F100fd.
Be a little bit more modern and make the switch!!!(lol)
In the end what is important is the pleasure you have looking at your
pictures.
True, but you asked for c&c.
I generally refrain from giving c&c, especially the latter "c", because of the emotional response some people have to getting what they ask for.
I dig them.Its all about emotion and painting with light.
It was a magic evening,a fantastic one and what i have left as memory
is those pictures and they suit me well,sorry for you if they dont.
Yep, I'm sure. Just like I adore the baby snapshots of my kids.
It is my way of looking at life and not yours.Aren't you a bit
jealous and preposterous...
Cute, thanks for the chuckle.
Remember this: 1600 iso,awb,1/4 1/5 1/12 1/22 sec, pictures with a
lot of movements in front of you all the time and you try to stop
that mvt with very low light available.Going to 3200 iso was not an
option for me.
Yes, I did keep it in mind. I appreciate what you posted was really more of a memory series than anything else. I take that on its face, it's okay.
However, in retrospect, I don't think you really wanted c&c. Since no one responded, I thought I would, and I'll reiterate that this is a challenging situation to shoot in, made all the more challenging with the F100fd because it
lacks shutter priority mode.
Next time, maybe just don't ask for c&c. Perhaps just share a series of snaps of a great time you had. I for one could use a little lighthearted fun and enjoy looking at images like this, but not these in particular. The real disconnect for me was between these photos and your conclusion, but to each his own.
On that final note fuji F30 is a good camera and fuji F100fd is also
a good camera and I pretty sure you would not have done better with
your camera.DSLR like:Nikon D3,NikonD300,
NikonD700,canonD5mark11,sony Alpha 900 all with prime lens
1.2,1.4,1.8 would have done much better but i d'int had them for
now!!! Sorry to disapoint you with the quality of my pictures...
I'm more disappointed in the assessment that the F100fd is somehow superior in low light. Would anyone buy this camera or assertion based on these photos? I don't say this as a fanboy of my camera, I WANT a new camera to replace all the aggravating aspects of the F30, but I haven't found that replacement. I keep waiting. It's still an economic decision as much as it is a technical one so even if brand x or y has a new camera, I'm not interested in dropping some coin on an incremental improvement or step back as a trade off for OIS or something.
The F30, among some others in the Fxx line, has the ability to control shutter speed. That is the only mode with which I would shoot this venue and is therefore a knockout criteria for the F100fd, let alone the images presented in this thread. OMMV. And you alluded to it regarding the "manual settings" comment, i.e., that the F30 has some granularity of control which the F100fd lacks.
I don't want to get into who would have done better, but my camera has shutter priority, yours doesn't. Not only would I have controlled shutter speed, but I would have exposed for the subject and lifted what was necessary in pp including any nr as appropriate given the need for high iso.
That's all...not the end of the world or an indictment on you. The F100fd is a fine camera more or less, but for you, not me, and for more daylight use or slow action, not low light or fast action where shutter control is helpful if not outright needed.
Anyway,whatever, have a good night sleep and thank you for your
comments and I respected them and you as a photographer who have the
same goal as me I say thanks.

Likewise, you are welcome. I hope you take this in the positive way it's intended. I would have a very positive memory of this event too. I just don't think I'd draw the same conclusion.
n a final note, I have remark that the pictures files at webshots are heavily compress and the pictures does'nt show as good as the original files on my computer-End of the story-...
