Steph Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 No more excuses. It's a point and shoot, but it's a Canon. So now it's all on me if I can't figure out how to take a nice picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ooh! (Don't worry. I can restrain myself.) But as far as marbles go, make sure to try some shots both indoors and outdoors. They both have their merits. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Awfully good,i'm curious about the results,it seems fun to see something of your marble collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Ohhhh nooooo! Steph, you just declared yourself a 'Canon Person'! Although I will always love you like a Montague does a Capulet, you're going to have to do some work winning back the 'hearts and minds' of some of us Nikon people here.

Steph Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Now I has a sad. Like I failed a vital test. I just picked a name I recognized at a price I could afford. Don't remember seeing a Nikon. Did see a Sony. It was pretty close to a whim purchase.Would have been entirely a whim if the clerk had responded to the customer service call on Friday afternoon when I was wandering around after scheduling an eye exam. It was just slightly less of a whim because I had a night to think it over and talk to the hubby and do a quick online search for reviews before I went back to the optician the next morning.I was pretty sure I missed out on some of the best cameras because the camera display case was close to empty.But I figured I couldn't go wrong with a Canon.

kbobam Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 It's okay. Just a silly Yale/Harvard thing some of us enjoy now and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sorry I am going to swear here, but I gave the Nikon away and went back to Canon. Couldn't find the one good setting for point and shoot freehand for the Nikon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 You're okay in my book too! At this point I figure whatever camera comes closest to 'fitting you like a glove' is the right one. And I have to admit that some of us Nikon 1 fans have been griping about how some of their 'algorithms', or whatever the right word is, could be improved.

Steph Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 grrrr ... can't figure out how to turn on the flash .... ..... one of these days ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleecee Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hubby got tired of me complaining about my lousy < almost nothing pixels camera so he (on a whim) went to Best Buy to buy printer ink and came back with a Nikon Cool Pix P530. I know nothing about cameras, but have just started to get the hang of this one..much nicer than my old one. Still doesn't shoot killer close ups of mibs, but I'm told I need a special macro lens for that. This is just fine for this super novice. He, unfortunately gets to carry it, as it does not fit in my travelin' purse!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 On my canon you have to lift the flash manually to turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Okay, I know some of you just aren't 'tripod people'. But hear me out on this one and I'll make it quick. Check this guy out! This is a 'mini' or 'table' tripod. Only about six or seven inches tall. And only about six or seven dollars at a store near you! Really makes life easier when shooting marbles. And just in case anyone's interested in full-size tripods, I'll really recommend you find one with a center column that can be inserted upside-down. Gives you a lot more close-up possibilities.
