Trying out the new camera setup at the Blue Martini
01.23.2009
With the death of my tiny camera and the purchase of my new nice camera I decided to try something new. I put a tiny lens on my old DSLR and am going to try and use that as my “going out” camera. It’s not exactly sized in P&S territory but it will definitely take batter better pictures than any P&S. If I totally hate it I’ll just replace it with a regular small camera but I’m hoping this works.



How dare you imply that the 410 isn’t nice!
And yet it is STILL smaller than my canon point-and-shoot (aka “the brick”).
Are any current P&S’s even close to the SLR’s in terms of low-light performance?
Can I be first on the list if you ever decide to sell the 410?
The best place to take batter pictures is at the ballpark, or a Long John Silvers.
or Ihop
Are you saying Ihop because it is a place for good pictures or because Adam said “Batter”.
Just smile and nod at Alex…crazeeeeee
Will do Justin but it’s working pretty well. I am definitely going to have to find a better way to carry it though. The wrist strap is close but not -quite- there.
You can see the results at my Flickr page
You should carry it with a shoulder strap like you carry your messenger bag, not like a purse
There is a lot of beer drinking for a place with martini in the name
The thought has occurred to me. Something like this
Looks like a fun place, I can’t wait until you let me go there.
