they should..if it doesn't dont buy it lol

for me, it was the RFW, BVE and Photography...

As long as i can remember the first thing id do when get on a train is to run up to the RFW (slants on the west end B ftw)..

I discovered BVE about 6-7 years ago, and later started developing for it..

To be totally honest, now, the NYC subway has lost its appeal (it just isn't what it used to be anymore), most of the trains look exactly the same (soon it'll be all of them) on top of the fact I've pretty much seen the entire subway (except woodlawn) and now im just in it for the photo ops lol

As for fantrips, I still never been inside a bus depot or train yard or rode a MoD train or other special fantrip lol

Yes, I was looking into this Canon because it is a bridge camera. I wanna learn about aperture and shutter speed befor I get a full fledged SLR. I also found this really good deal that comes with a bunch of accesories for only 35 bucks more.

its too bad the Sx10/Sx20 doesnt support conversion lenses & doesnt have the adapter..with my S5, i could get the adapter (which isnt even on the market anymore smh lol) and attach 58mm filters to it too..

i would recommend that camera, I have the Canon S5 which is an older version of that camera; it is great to use and has all the manual settings that is offered by an SLR (although the ranges arent that good and the photo quality wont be as good as an SLR's as it is still technically a Point & Shoot) either way it is still a very competent and complete camera and i would easily recommend it, excellent if you are looking for something to practice with before you get an SLR (like me lol)

idk exactly about that one, but if your into movies, the movie mode on my S5 is excellent. the picture is vivid and clear (even at 320x240 resolution), the sound is crisp, i can use the optical zoom while filming and it focuses automatically (however the files are huge). ive seen some samples from the newer DSLRs that can record movies, and the quality isnt as good.

however, always remember a good photographer gets good pictures with any equipment.

Ladies and Gentlemen we are being delayed of train traffic ahead of us...Please be patient

I like looking at http://www.dcresource.com . They have a very comprehensive camera review, and i like their night shot tests.

thats some expensive ass flower pot right there lol

I like to stand out from the crowd. I'm going for a Canon. There's also an authorized repair center near my place so that's also a big plus

a lot of ppl have canon too lol

if u wana stand out from the crowd, get something like a panasonic or pentax or minolta

your camera took a Scheiße

 

Time to get a new one.

 

Don't feel bad. This was the fate of the "Bx12SBS camera"

 

DAMN What the **** happened to that !!!

my little L11 camera is starting to crap out on me as well lol it's laggy, non-responsive, sometimes it doesnt feel like turning on and turns off by itself as soon as i let go of the power button, and the photos are cloudy and foggy (some of you think its a dirty lens its not lol)

my S5 is still good tho lol but i wana get an SLR this summer (if i get a job of course)

get a nikon L-(w/e number their up to now lol)

they might look cheap and toy-ish, but for $100 its not bad lol

my $100 L11 got it over 3 years ago, and it still works fine today (although the sensor is starting to wear out i think)

if you have the extra $50 or so tho then get a better model such as a canon or w/e

i know its hard to see the epic pic with all the icons in the way but w/e lol

Grainess depends on the sensor size iirc not about the megapixels

In theory a smaller image resolution would actually be better in certain situations since you cannot see as much detail and you wouldn't be able to notice the minor imperfections

i dont trust the light meter lol light meter usually over exposes i go like 2-3 steps below what the light meter says

I was wondering if you guys have any particular set of manual settings on your camera that you go by for a particular scene (such as Tv 1/125 on the R160s, 1/400 f2.7 for sunset etc) and would like to share them..

I want to know about sunset in particular though since ive been having some difficulty with them lately my special ISO-80 1/400 f/2.7 combo isnt working so well for me anymore apparently lol

on my computer i sort em by date & 1 or 2 words to help me remember what it is. for example:

railfanning 6-23-09

subway 6-24-09

date 6-25-09 etc

on photobucket its a mess lol i dont really organize em on photobucket i just upload them but obviously they would go by date since i upload em usually asap after i upload them on the computer

Sometimes when you take a photo, the color can be kinda off. That's when you use White Balance to fix it. You can also be creative and mess it up on purpose to see what happens lol

Usually underground IND lines are the way to go, they have long platforms which means more room for you to get your pics from. 14th Canal and WTC all have long platforms so that shouldn't be a problem

That doesn't mean all Fujifilms are bad, it just means that particular model is bad. You need to shop for cameras by features, not just brands. For example, if you're going to take mainly subway pictures, you would need a camera with a digital image stabilization mode, High ISO mode, fast shutter speed, etc. BTW, I thought you had a Nikon D40?

digital image stabilization is really useless it just bumps up the ISO

you want optical image stabilization, which actually shifts the lens along with your hand shakes to balance it out

for me its manual settings lol in my opinion get a camera with manual settings and your good

fujifilm is ok

HP cameras are trash that's right lol

they don't make the nikon L11 anymore i believe, if you could look around the net maybie you can find a used one but then again the L11 isn't really that awesome of a camera to go through all that trouble of getting

D90 with the nice movie mode !! =]

I use a Fujifilm A500 with 5 MP and 3X Digital Zoom. Nothing special. My camera doesn't really have many options though. If I change from Auto to Manual I only get to change three more things (White Balance, and two other things), so I usually always keep my camerao n Auto but change the ISO when I'm underground. I'd want a new camera (P&S) with image stabilization, at least 7 MP, etc. Kinda like an HP PHotosmart.

what are the 2 other things on your fujifilm ??

and whatever you do DO NOT BUY A HP PHOTOSMART CAMERA

those are BAD, VERY VERY BAD

trust me i had to put up with one for 6 months...just couldn't take it anymore and bought my nikon L11

that thing now doesn't even work anymore, the thing won't charge anymore and the lens lid is broken

1/125 is the shutter speed

that controls how long the lens is open to get the photo

right now i have the Canon Powershot S5 as well

i've previously used a nikon L-11 and a HP Photosmart R725 to take photos of the trains with

once i figure out all this fancy stuff i'd like to enter the world of Professional SLR's with maybie a nice professional nikon

lol that thing just looks...weird

but nice job with it! looks very real

For those who frequently visit BVE Station or the old Transit Stuff, you should know about my R46 train program for BVE. I have made some updates to it, and here it is.
