hey its not much but im not looking to spend much... i dont know much about cameras.. i just wanted to get one for fun and maybe snap shots of some cool pics to put on the net or computer... is this a decent camera for the price im paying?? or should i have settled for a higher quality? is 2 MP good enough for a decent quality picture??

2MP is alright, if you're not concerned about enlarging much past a 4x6 print size...

Yeah, but 99% of people aren't going to spend the time and money getting a good 6x6 or 6x7 MF rig, nevermind a 4x5 view camera or something...No digital technology has surpassed full-size large format negatives that have been contact-printed onto paper in terms of quality, but for ease of use? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Let's see, one requires a dedicated darkroom, the other doesn't...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

so will my sony be the same quality just about? i guess its not that bad.. but i totally see the difference in clarity.. ****, im having second thoughts now.. that was a **** big picture though can i make it crystal clear quality by making pictures smaller or is that not an option?

 

[dbhittin 5,000+ posts]

the camera i have is pretty cheap, and takes awsome pics.. let me know if u want more info on it or more pics

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

DB whats the ISO on that pic???

 

[dbhittin 5,000+ posts]

the ISO is on auto, wth does that do? and the pics are alot clearer on my comp, but i upload them threw cardomain and it makes them smaller and more burly, but they are usally huge and clear
