more on Fuji602 color

Thanks to everyone who responded re color washout. Cameron's
posting of a gallery (not his) pictures were taken with a Fuji
6900, not a 602. many of posted pictures in this forum using
fuji602 have washed out color.

on advice of engineer son, tested fuji, with WB adj. for
incandescent light,indoors on red and blue shirts. took 6
different exposures graduated by 1/2 step using f2.5 recommended by
camera. ALL reds were washed out, from light to dark. none of
them made it. blue was a little better but NOT saturated at any
point. will try same test outdoors on sunny day, but i'm ready to
chuck this camera!

I thought it only right and proper to point out that the gallery
was Johans and not mine, but was merely the sort of colours and
quality that is achieveable with some Fuji camera's. I dont
believe there is a lot of difference between the picture quality of
the 6900 and the 602 and would expect them to be very similar if
not the same.
I've seen many gallery's of 602 users and many are producing first
class shots with their 602 camera's I've rarely seen weak colours,
and I actually feel that the colours generally are a fraction too
saturated.
Unfortunately we are not all good photographers... I certainly am
not.. thats why I did not refer you to my own gallery which happens
to be rubbish as I've only just started it.
I have many talents such as the ability to write books and a
excellent knowledge of electronics and computers but photography
like my piano playing is not brilliant! but this does not stop me
from enjoying it!
However for what its worth this is the location of my gallery
although there is not much on there as yet, however I dont think
there is much problem with the 602 colours. Your camera may be
faulty of course.

Please ignore the modification pics. Taken with a 1700 and
compressed many times. ie, very poor quality. Someone asked to see
pics of my various computer mods which I had done thats why they
are on there.

Regards

I actually liked looking at the computer mods. I just built my
first computer after working on too many systems from Gateway. I
thought it was time to try building one myself. I used an Antec
case, gigabyte motherboard, and P4 2.2 GHz. You must do some
serious overclocking based on all of the extra cooling you have
installed. Sorry if this is off topic here. Check out the thread
about internal card reader. I just installed one and it works great.

Yes AAMOF I saw that.. I thought it looked very good, I fancy one
of those myself have you seen any similar that uses firewire or
maybe usb2?

I'm thinking of changing the case in the future as its getting on a
bit now and have had to make room for a DVD burner.
Yes the system is quite fast, its a Epox 8KHA+ board, XP2100+
running at 2200+, with a Leadtek 4600. Raid Drives etc. I'm
retired now but still enjoy giving the kids a run for their money
in games like MOHAA and RTCW etc. Looking forwards to UT2003 being
released. Just never grown up..LOL I may not be here next week
(poor health) so I tend to endulge myself. and my wife does'nt go
short...so why not! I'm lucky I suppose due to the fact I've spent
all my life in the electronics game it means I can do most repair
jobs myself or I know someone who can.
My main hobby is actually programming, I wrote TextBook, and also
Communicator a comms package for the PC and have written several
progs over the years for earlier systems. Still do a bit of
assembler and C++ even now, though I've been playing with Linux
on/off for a few months. I also still have a financial interest in
a company called Logicomm Systems which a friend and I started some
years back...only 3 staff but still going today so I occasionally
help out when he's busy or to cover holidays etc.

Almost everything in that case BTW is rubber mounted on grommets
even the fans and hard-drives... most of those fans are thermally
controlled or switchable on the rear of the case to alter the
speeds... I dont like noisy systems. How some of the guys stand the
racket I dont know.. :-((

Anyway I'd better cut this as its way off topic. I'll rattle all
night.

Hello Carolyn,

Here's a S602 photo shot in Balboa Park in San Diego last weekend.
This photo has not been processed. In fact, when I use DCEnhance to
process it, the result is virtually indistinguishable. I believe it
demonstrates good saturation of color (check the saddle and
saddle-blanket of the giraffe and horse) and the color is true to
the actual carousel.

I'll post more of the photos from that location soon.

Are you referring to "washed out" images on your printer or your
monitor? If you find them dull on both, then your monitor and (or)
printer may need to be adjusted. No offense intended here, but I
do not believe your statement to be the case at all. As with any
amateur photo forum, there are plenty of hits and misses. But
color saturation has not been a problem with any of the Fujis that
I have owned nor with many of the images that I view over here. I
have not seen the ones form your camera to compare, however.
If you still find most of the forum pictures to be dull, you may
want to swap for another make of camera in whose forum you find the
colors more to your liking. If you want to compare identical
images between makes, try this excellent site and here's the link
for the 602 images to start with:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/F602/F62PICS.HTM In fact, my
picture that I posted in reply to your last post is "over the top"
in color saturation which adequately reflected the bright colors in
the shot.

How do you rate the color sturation of this image?

sorry i haven't posted my bleached out pics, will be happy to do so
after this week-end. glad to find someone sticking up for this
camera, which i like using.

a question -- do you find the picture (color) quality suffers if
the lighting is not full sun? such as dusk??
thanks for your input.

Seth,
Your picture is beautiful, and so is the color. Yes, i've
considered that i am a new user with this camera, and thus may be
judging it too quickly. also not a great photographer, but having
hopes of becoming one.

I really like your picture. it's mostly yellow in color which
gives a great effect. if you look at the red, esp. at the bottom,
it does not appear saturated to me. what do you think?

Wow, your pictures are absolutely breathtaking! Can I ask -- Do
you use 3mp or 6 mp, fine or normal? do you use filters, and if
so, which ones? manual focus? what f stop on the nature shots?
200 iso? any tips you could give me?

I assume your pictures are taken around either sunrise or sunset.

anyway, you've settled the color question, and a few other,s in
fine style! i'm inspired to go out and try again. thanks,

Carolyn
