Thornius The Bird Man Joined: May 2005 Posts: 6,521 Nashville, TN	Canon and Nikon are the two BEST cameras made. They are both pretty much equal but most photographers feel that Canons have a slight advantage. My daughter has the Canon Powershot S3 IS. It is not quite as good as Dodge's.

I have so much sony equipment and cards I wanted to stay with Sony but I might get the Nikon. Why do they say the Cannon is a little better? Last edited by cinta; Dec 26th, 2007 at 10:51 PM.

That's all I know for now......... I have to play with all my toys and do homework on canon. I got a santa yesterday and do not know what country it represents.. PS...

Controls the light reaching in the camera, by manipulating this you can control how the background is ... A low aperture has a blurred background and a high one has a clear background and heres the stats of the photo: Shutter Speed = 1/125 second Aperture= F8.00 ISO = 100 P.s. I did zoom into the picture

Did you try a bird about 30 feet away? i put it on the tripod and it is better .....perhaps I arent on the correct setting??????????? What did you recommend/ b PS...
