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

[stmoritzer]

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
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









did only few "action" pictures with cars, here's one sample



night picture



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 ) 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

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

Congrats stmoritzer for your purchase.

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

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:
