bizarre problem with my canon S2 IS.
i left it in the trunk of my car for about a month. took it out, put new batteries in it. everything seems to be working fine, except when i take outdoor shots everything is whited-out. bizarrely, raising the f-stop and shutter rate only leads to more and more whited-out photos, so that on f-8.0 and 1/3200 i get a completely white field. you would expect complete black, right?
and then even weirder is that when i try to take video, the film turns out fine, indoor or outdoor.
suggestions?

check the iso isn't set to something crazily high.
― joe, Sunday, 22 March 2009 21:45 (sixteen years ago)
Sounds like the shutter is actually damaged - i.e., has a hole in it or just stays open or isn't triggering for the right amount of time. Wouldn't be a problem when shooting a movie as the shutter just stay open anyway, capturing a constant feed on the sensor.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:11 (sixteen years ago)
actually i figured it out. there are skinny white scan lines across anything black in the photos which means the sensors is busted. repair would be about what i paid for the thing. any suggestions on a new dSLR?

maybe a rebel xti, i guess
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:18 (sixteen years ago)
I think there are a couple of other digital camera threads active at the moment and I'll just say what I said on those:
Canon Digital Rebel XS (aka 1000D) is not necessarily the best or cheapest entry-level DSLR but it is the only one that takes a fast, cheap, autofocus prime and 1000D + 50mm f/1.8 = great camera. But if zooms are your thing, definitely consider Nikon D40, Pentax K-m, Sony Alpha 200. This is kind of an interesting addition to the field - a hybrid that disposes of the whole mirror-box/optical viewfinder thing, takes different lenses, autofocuses as fast as a phase-detect SLR and has a high-res electronic viewfinder. There's a HD video version of it out soon.

I have a sony alpha-300 and though it's just fine i still wish id gone with the canon 1000D

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 22 March 2009 23:00 (sixteen years ago)
btw when i finally imported those photos off the camera onto my computer this is what they looked like ... clearly something is badly fucked up inside.

panasonic lx3 compact slr is supposed to be amazing but maybe you want something more like a real old school adaptable slr?

ps. nice apartment.

btw that camera revue is like 10 pages long but that's not immediately clear from looking at the site.

Yes, Leica design lenses for Panasonic (and Panasonic, in turn, make all Leica digital compacts, and Leica rebrand them). How they compare to Leica M-series lenses that you'd find on Leica film and digital bodies, I've no idea. Sony have a similar relationship with Zeiss and Samsung with Pentax.
(That LX3 is pretty extraordinary from the front-page specs - 24-60/2.0-2.8 on a compact?)
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 22 March 2009 23:23 (sixteen years ago)
yeah i've looked at that very camera, jed, it does look astoundingly rad. for that price you could get a leica dlux-3 ... hmmm.

btw i got to play with one of these the other day for work, pretty f'ing amazing in 600 and 1200 fps mode.

so if i wanted to spend under $200 on a camera, with it's two main uses being product shots (small items, closeups, detail capture important) and outdoors/landscape snaps, what would someone here recommend?

canons run about 300 so you could probably get a last-model canon for $150. something like the s2-is i own (and is now worthless).

i can't stress enough how bad ass the canon 1000d is. justine, i'd even recommend it to you. unless you want sth compact of course. then go with the g10
