New Camera Part II

So, I originally bought Fuji Finepix S1800 for my birthday, but the pictures weren’t coming out very crisp.  In fact, I thought they were blurry under many instances that should have produced nice pictures.

Fortunately, I bought the camera from Costco, and they have a 90-day return policy on electronics.  This is an outstanding policy, because it sometimes takes a long time to figure out if a piece of equipment, like a camera, will do a good job.

I decided to go with a Nikon P100 10 megapixel 26x Zoom camera.  The Fuji was 12 megapixel with 16x zoom.  The megapixels didn’t matter as much to me as the picture quality, and the difference in zoom was phenomenal.

I took some pictures this weekend and thought I’d post a couple so you could see how good they turned out. Most of the pictures I took were outside, and looked great even without the flash.

The duck and the rooster I took at wheeler farm.  I was at least 40 yards from the duck and 20 from the rooster.  The details in the feathers are great and the colors are really rich.

This is the Angel Moroni Statue on the top of the Salt Lake LDS Temple.  I was at ground level about 5 floors down to the east of it. I was worried the statue would be indistinct and washed out by the sun, but the details and color turned out pretty good.

So, I think this new camera is a keeper.
