Where is level 8?

Right above level 7 and below level 9. There is a total of 12 levels but I didn't have the correct lense to capture everything. The effect is there, just not the entire picture!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to go book a ticket and see if I can remember the name of the joint I went to the last time I was there. I forgot if it was a 3 for the price of one 1 or a 4 for 2 special.

I am using my Canon EOS 20D digital slr.

Hi Diver,

What do you think about this camera? :smoke:

Powershot S2 IS

I really want to buy a better camera as I currently have a Exilim Z55. It is great as a point & shot camera and thats about it. But I am looking for something better. The 20D SLR you mentioned is very good but just a little bit to pricy for me.

 

[Diver6127]

There are many reasons why people get digital cameras and just as many models to match. What is going to be the main purpose of the camera? Also, what is your budget?

Yes, the 20D is a bit pricey for just "ordinary" use and cannot be justified if that is the case. I got my 20D for the purpose of expanding more into photography.

If you want the ease of point and shoot but with a bit more options, the powershot series has a lot to offer in various models. The S2IS is a good camera for that very reason.

I would say around $500 as budget. I will mainly use it for closeup shot, fast moving object shot, and ... can't think of right now.

The camera gotta able to do sunset shot. Do you think S2IS able to do those?

 

[Diver6127]

It should be able to do it. Just make sure that if you're trying to do a portrait of someone with the sunset in the background, you have the manual override set for the flash so that the person doesn't get blacked out since the can will be metering the sun instead of the person.

Diver,

Thank you for all the help. I think I am going for S2 IS as soon as it become available. I saw one on ebay saying they will start shipping on May 27 for $499 each. But, it is all sold. I will just wait till end of this month.

Again, I really appreciate your help and advice. Man, I love those pictures you taken!
