Got A New Digicam

Recommended Posts

I wasnt very happy with my Powershot A310, in particular the tiny lens, poor pics when there's a lot of light and the horrible sound for video recording.

So I opted for a Fuji S5500 (5100 in the states) which should improve on that. Not a mega expensive cam but something descent. 640x480 video mode at 30 FPS avi. 10x optical zoom. I'm still having some trouble with all the settings but i've made at least a few pics which are nice so here are a few. These are taken at 4 MP "fine" setting averaging 1.8-2 meg a piece. The camera also supports RAW though.

Then a few vids I shot on a small drive today...nothing fantastic so far but the sound recording is better even though its mono.

Your paint looks to be in brilliant condition. 

I wish it was! It has a lot of scratches on the hood mostly, a few at the back...cats and birds... :(

Johann : test1 i did with the window open...bad idea. But on the up side i can now film a loooot longer at the 'ring ;)

And yes it does look slower at 30 fps, thats what non-choppy video gets you :P

where can i get one of those nurburgring stickers?

....at the Nürburgring :lol:

I dunno...maybe if many ppl want them we can buy a bunch next time we're there and send them over there. They are available in a few formats (this being the middle sized one) and a few colours...forgot which but I do know there are red ones and gray ones too

Yep, 10x optical...I have to say it works very well, it doesnt have image stabilisation however so there needs to be enough light, or a steady hand/tripod...

Oh and I believe the Nürburgring sticker cost me 3 or 4€, dont remember, i thought it was kinda expensive for a sticker lol.

I'll let you guys know next time we go up there

Verrry nice. I was looking at a Fuji when I was doing my shopping for a digicam a bit ago. I ended up going w/ the Olympus C-7000 (C-70 Zoom in Europe). Takes nice pictures, but I wish it had a bigger lens. It only has half the optical zoom of yours though.

I think we need to see more pics of the car B) . As I've said before, I love it; olive T-5R 5-spd :) .
