| Wow, have I struggled to work with this camera, finally figured out that increased ISO is the only way I can get decent shots..if ISO is 400 or above, they are great..otherwise I was going to send this camera far far away...trying to work with it a little each day..unable to purchase other than standard lens: 45-150mm lenses are all sold out..still using my cz-2100 for entries right now until I can get better with this one and consistent results...had to increase sharpness otherwise effects are very soft...purchase was between this camera, Rebel and Nikon d70..hope I didn't screw up..haha...anyone with this camera write to me and let me know what works for you.. |

Hi Marion - it is a big step up from a 'point and shoot' to a DSLR. It does take time to get the results the camera is capable of. I was initialy dissapointed in my 300D but you just have to experiment with the settings and shoot,shoot, shoot. In most point and shoot the processing is carried out in camera, with DSLR you have to work it in photoshop/paintshop pro or whatever software you use. DSLR images straight out of the camera are much softer.
Keep at it and you will be rewarded with some great photos.
Mike

Ditto. I actually returned my Rebel and bought another one after I found this site. |

| Thank you Mike and Shannon for your encouragement. I have been working with the camera as much as possible, and noticing gradual improvement in quality. I have stopped myself from flipping it into a box and mailing it back, guys...the 'point and shoot' camera spoiled me I guess; I wasn't expecting this...now I realize I must shoot as often as possible and practice my Photoshop editing skills. It is like art: it takes time to develop a style. |
