Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 2:21PM Thanks to a coupon at a local Mall...
I am slowly losing it with this 28-90 lens. . .Taking pictures of pictures was never a problem with the Tamron..
Santa, I hope you are reading this!

Relative movement ! One der ful !
was so happy when my own SANTA (aka SAN-gee-T-h-A) had ordered a lens as a surprise this morning.. but the website outright lied! they had the thing on backorder and instead said it was in stock!
lesson learnt...
the hunt is still on..
sundar, glad to note you are using coupons wisely.
terri:
i agree!
sundar:
is the slr camera really that much better than a point-and-shoot? i mean, i was at sams the other day, and was really impressed by http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15672#ModelDetailAct" REL="nofollow">this one, and the whole thing costs about $200-$275 depending on who you buy it from. what can the slr do that the point and shoot cannot? i am curious now (disclaimer: i've never owned an slr!)

Sundar-
really nice picture, love the older one's cute smile.
s.b: A SLR will allow you to compose the picture better because you see exactly what the camera lens sees. In most cameras, you look through a view finder that is along-side the camera lens. If taking pictures of far-away items, it may not matter, but for closer-up things, it does. So, Sundar is right to lust after a SLR. However, it also assumes that you have the skills to be able to compose photographs. For most of us, it won't make a difference.

the logic of framing was definitely a much bigger issue in the days of film cameras, when you wouldn't really know what you got until you developed the roll - this issue really bit me once when i had gone for a school reunion a long time ago and not one photo came out right in the whole entire roll.
i thought - i was pretty sure - that in most digital cameras, what you see is what you get. maybe i was wrong, and need to look closely to spot the differences.

Terri, Mitr,
thanks.
s.b. , Lak is right. But wrt to the "not knowing the difference part".. sure Todays compact cameras have a fully manual mode feature where you get to play with shutter speed or aperture, and play with the while balance options, the ISO options etc.
If you were like me and at one point thought
compact = Yashika 100's with a sinlge button on the entire camera
SLR = something with shutter control
then yes.. that difference has been blurred. For that matter the canon compacts with the extended zoom with IS (image stabilization) takes superb pictures.. dont see much difference between that and the SLR (on a 4x6 picture)!
I guess it is perception and a combination of the zoom/light gathering ability of the lens that gets me excited.
on another note..

Lol I was gonna ask you if Santa's name was Mrs.S and I see that you've already answered. Looks like the lil one is growing up real fast.
