Anniversary and New Camera
Today is the one year anniversary of my PhotoBlog of sorts, and what better way to celebrate than to have a little camera comparison test. I bought a new Kyocera S5R after loads of people in my office discovered an unbeatable deal for a 5 megapixel camera at Fry's. I promptly picked one up as well and charged up the batery just in time for my trip to the museum over the weekend.
Suffice it to say, the S50 still has enough quality to stay ahead of a lot of the new technology in newer cameras, today. Though I found the S5R had excellent shutter speed, acceptible optics, and almost no start up time, the camera lagged with a poor auto white balance sensor and an LCD display so washed out, it was useless. However, for the few shots that did come out, it was an an amazing camera for the price. The S50 is still my standard camera, but the performance, size, and weight of these newer cameras are going to be harder to beat in the coming future.
The following are a few various pictures from the past week wqith the S5R
