Still Heildelberg - speeding boats under the old bridge;).

Night, Z1 and the A5

One of the biggest differences between the point & shot and the more advanced cameras is the ability to control the shutter/apperture/white balance/flash.. the way you want. So no wonder that the first Z1 test shots were at the night;).

F200 shots

The test shots from the Minolta F200. Key component of Minolta's "Superior Image Quality" concept is the GT Lens, a high-grade lens designed specifically for digital photography. The GT Lens included in the DiMAGE F200 has 8 elements in 7 groups, with 3 aspherical surfaces to optimize colour and image clarity. As a result, the power of the 4.0 megapixel CCD can be harnessed to its fullest.
The camera with the best pictures from the review sites and the super "hidden" macro function. Imagine a 2cm macro on a 4MP image...



Sunset in the spring (2004)


Objective comparisson of the Minolta F200, F300 and the Canon S400 (not me).

I had to make a choice between the F300 and the F200.
I chose the F200 for the following reasons:
- Unlimited movie mode
- Separate zoom lever
- Redefined button-layout
- Anti-reflective coating on LCD
- ISO800
Before I bought the F200 I got a Canon S400 (IXUS 400). I changed to the F200 for the following reasons:
- Full manual controls in an ultra-compact metal body
- Clean and VERY SHARP! pictures in all situations
- Outstanding macro pictures, SUPER macro mode!
- Nimh battery support
- Faster and smaller SD-Cards
(- and the unlimited movie mode of course.....)
- Information display on top of camera with battery meter!

Sadness...

Hm... I havent been to Scotland, but would like to go. This is the castle Neu Schwanstein.
