SONY-V3 - various photos I took in the last 9 month
 

Here are some picture I took with my SONY V3 camera. I bought the camera about 9 month ago. I'm very happy with it.

That's the camera

I wanted a camera small enough to take it with me "everyday", so no SLR was foreseen, but good enough for let's say better amateur photos :wink:
After a decent review of the available cameras, I bought the V3.


+ 7.2 Megapixel is enough
+ dual memory card (CF and MS Pro
+ ergonomy ( a proper handle) and no risk to have your finger infront of the lens
+ large monitor 2.5"
+ quick reaction time
+ filter/lens adapter can be added
+ good battery life (in test, but also from my experience)
+ external flash
+ 4*optical zoom is ok

The night pictures give me some headache from time to time. I'm still not 100% happy with my results :?
Does anybody (Darkel ?, ...) has experience with the V3 taking night-pictures ?

I never had the occasion to take it out for a few night shots (partly because there's noting to see in my little town and I'm sooo lazy :D ) but the bunch of pics I took at low shutter speed (some of you might remember that Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse - huge old Bugatti collection) were quite satisfying actually.
I did not use any polarizer that time 'cause I didn't have any, but IMO it's quite useless at night, it just gives you less light and that's all :bah:
A tripod, steady arms and ISO 100 just can't get wrong :wink:

Anyway some great looking pictures you took, some imagination and that low depth of field always produces a nice effect :)

nice pics...
I really like this one, but what is the red @ the bottom

Very nice pics. I like very much the "Bentley" one. Good job man!! :mrgreen:

This camera gives excellent pictures judging by those you show to us. :good:

Congrats stmoritzer for your purchase. :D

well,the date-function was switched on and had to crop the picture ( this orange-red date looks horrible IMO), :oops: missed few pixels.

what was it a river/stream?

Very nice pics!

I have an ancestor of your camera - V1

I like it, but it's slow as hell. Few years ago was it on the top between small cameras, but in digital world is everything old already when you buy it :cry:

it's a small creek (I guess that the right word), one meter wide :wink:
