Strong enough to withstand wind and rain and lighter than paper. Shot with old technology Olympus E-10, 4 megapixel fixed lens with zoom and macro capability......same as toad.

Actually, from what I understand, Sitarro gets paid for shooting golf courses. So, it's more than a hobby. Lucky devil!

I thought old tech was film?

Brownie.

5-6 year old digital cameras are considered "old tech" within the digital camera context. The tech behind these cameras has grown in leaps and bounds since then.

Sitarro, did you buy the E-10 back in 2001 when the street price was nearly $2K? If you have a newer dSLR (a Nikon perhaps), can you give me a rundown of how they compare?

Re: the bee hive. They really are amazing structures. You shoulda got in there close and used the macro capability.

After looking at some of his pics, I can definatly see where he could make money, he really is good.

That is exactly right, it was 2 grand in 2001. I remember because I shot Manhattan and the Trade Center on my way to Ireland. They were gone 4 days later.

My brother has a D-70, huge difference of course and I rented a D-200 for a weekend and it was really nice. I'm waiting to see what they come up with next to decide what to get next. The E-10 and the 6x7 has worked fine for what I've needed so far but I am getting pixel envy.

That's nice of you......this is an example of what I have to do with golf course shots. I had to shoot this hole in the fall when the grass was going dormant. The sky sucked too so Photoshop was used to transform this shot. Unfortunately I didn't have a Wacom tablet to help with this job so it didn't come out that great but the customer was happy.

first is the original, second is photoshoped.

What digital resolution is considered equivalent to a 35mm SLR with good quality film?

I'm afraid it's not that simple. You'll need to tell me what you consider "good quality film", and your definition of "equivalent".

Nice work. Was this shot on film, or on the dSLR?

I'm Jon Q Public and it's simple for me, digital is far superior to any film.

Good quality film would be readily availble Kodak ASA 100, fresh. Equivalent means image density, or how large a print you can make without getting "grainy".

100 was always my choice.
