Very nice photos - Leigh. The GS400 does very well in closeups. Also on video I've noticed. Here's 2 links I googled about testing if interested

I train myself by taking photos. I hope my skill of shooting video can improved by doing that. 8 )

OK, awesome pictures, but how does the video look, especially in comparison to other video cameras?

I think I will settle with my GS400 and wait another five years to buy a DSLR full size CCD as 35mm. 8 )

I think I will settle with my GS400 and wait another five years to buy a DSLR full size CCD as 35mm.

Why wait, the $7000 Canon 1DS will let you enjoy the a 35mm equivalent CMOS today!

I don't really have a problem with the 1.6x multiplier as I have a 17-85mm lens which is the equivalent of 27-136mm in 35mm FOV. Besides, I have three young children that won't wait on an affordable 1DS or the slow refresh times of camcorder stills. The 5fps of the 20D can almost keep up with my 3 year old daughter (almost).

Hello Tommy,

$7000 is quite lots of money for me to earn. For that reason, I have to wait. 8 (

It looks like the GS400 does better with closeup shots compared to your earlier pics.

<<<-- Originally posted by Tommy Haupfear : It looks like the GS400 does better with closeup shots compared to your earlier pics. -->>>

May I ask the reason?

TIA
Leigh

Leigh, maybe someone else has the answers. I've noticed on many cams that landscape shots are noisier than close-ups. What time of day was your house photo?

It is around 7pm last night and distance of the house to the camera is around 1km I guess.

Nice. The black background enhances the artistic look. Or is it on the border of becoming artifical? Maybe that's just me - because I've seen what 3D programs like Blender, Maya and Lightwave can do.

Here are a few small clips from my GS400

Hi Claus,

Great shot, its amazing how close the GS400 can get for macro shots. The GS100 and DV953 also handled macro shots reasonably well but the pics weren't quite this good.

Very nice pictures Leigh. I'm getting the GS400 this week and your shots have inspired me to try the stills where I think I would have ignored it all together had I not seen this thread.

Keep them coming :)

These still photos have convinced me that the still photo capability was much improved from the 953 to the GS400. I was never very pleased with the stills out of my 953. But, I didn't buy it as a still camera so it doesn't bother me.

Hi Greg,

I shot some photos with reflector and 500w security flood light. Otherwise, I don't think the photos will be interesting. I learned that the camera is not the most important thing.

I did not know that f4.0 to f5.6 is best for gs400. So I was using wide open to get min depth of field as this is the simple way to focus attention to the subject. Now I realized that I can simply set to f4.0 to f5.6 with the help of extra light and position the camera and achived small depth of field without problem. Sometimes I thought that small depth of field is not so important. And minidv has deep field which might make something more interesting.

Regards
Leigh
