Pentax K200D Digital SLR Camera + SMC-DA 18-55mm

Best Price: $599.00

from www.amazon.com
although i am not a camera expert, i do know about resolution as i work with photoshop and indesign on a daily basis putting together a motorcycle magazine.
from www.amazon.com
since i am a college student, i did not want to spend a lot of time on photoshop, hence the ability to process certain raw and jpeg files right on the camera would have saved me a lot of time.
from www.amazon.com
the megabytes mean there is a lot of info in each picture - using photoshop to crop or play with the picture results in some spectacular shots when i need it.
from www.amazon.com
also....i really recommend getting photoshop to go with the camera.

it's pretty nice to shoot in raw format then be able to tweak a shot in photoshop without destroying data in the process.

my business as a graphic designer has required more and more product photography, so to keep up with demand and quality, i purchased the canon xsi and have not been disappointed!
from www.amazon.com
on a side note i've been playing a lot with mounting other brand lenses on this camera coming up with somewhat of a lomo feel to the digital world without messing around with photoshop.
from www.amazon.com
i used to spend hours with photoshop to correct the ugly red eye and now i can just enjoy the amazing quality picture this camera takes!

i'm a designer/art director and use this camera for everything from art for print and web to shooting finished pieces for my portfolio.
from www.amazon.com
the histogram on the camera itself looked great, but on screen, the highlights were blown out and the photoshop histogram indicated this clearly.
from www.amazon.com
weird since i am a photoshop design junkie, but the 5d is defiantly the best full frame digital camera for the price, maybe since its the only one at its price right now:)
from www.amazon.com
nothing that a little photoshop won't fix, but it was a little disheartning.
from www.amazon.com
you can either shoot in raw and adjust for fall off in photoshop, or you can learn not to push your lenses as hard as you could with a crop factor camera.

Canon EOS 500D

from www.amazon.com
i called adobe and when they do have raw support it will only be in photoshop cs4.
from www.amazon.com
many more are very simple to use and powerful tools and provides necessary inventory for more than basic image editing (don't compare this with specialized photo editing tools like adobe photoshop).
from www.amazon.com
i don't know if they'd be detailed enough for prints, but i'm sure with stitching, hdr, and all that sharpening hocus pocus in photoshop, i expect you can get better results.
from www.amazon.com
if you don't have photoshop you still can do some pretty decent basic photo processing with the included software.
from www.amazon.com
the only disappointment is that the raw files are not compatible with photoshop.

i ebayed my canon 35mm and glass to get it.
from www1.photoalley.com
i need to be out shooting and not "phiddling with photoshop".
from www.bhphotovideo.com
software, nikon picture project 1.6, is a novice-level editor useful only to beginning point&shooters, is slow and severely limited, and will not export to other programs such as photoshop.
from www1.photoalley.com
however, i solved that issue by purchasing photoshop software instead.
from www.amazon.com
it returns creativity in the camera, rather than relying so much on photoshop or other photo editing tools.

i wish photoshop cs2 were affordable (yes i know pentax has a raw editor but it is not like ps cs2).

when shooting vertically, the camera automatically rotates the image and, when the vertical images are opened in photoshop, they are automatically rotated for you!!!

Fuji Finepix S100fs

from www.amazon.com
where i enlarged some images on my mac and specifically looked for it, it was easily removable in photoshop (unfortunately abobe's photoshop elements does not seem to contain the necessary module).
from www.amazon.com
there is a lot of talk about purple fringing - mostly by pixel peepers who have never held the camera but who inspect low grade images uploaded to the internet and make derisory comments.
from www.amazon.com
so much so that i sold the s3 on ebay and already shipped it out.
from www.amazon.com
be that as it may, working around this issue and some post shooting work in photoshop with ca/pf plug-in's, all but the really bad purple fringing can be eliminated.
from www.amazon.com
when i auto-adjust a fuji image in adobe photoshop cs3, oftentimes there's no change at all.

Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera

Best Price: $2,423.00

from PhotoGuy from NY, www.circuitcity.com
better pictures the first time with less fussing in photoshop.
from www.amazon.com
due to the present-day value of this fine camera, i did not have the heart to sell it on ebay.
from www.amazon.com
it is not that the d2x images could not be made to look pretty close to the d300 with time in photoshop, the out-of-camera results of the d300 are near perfect.
from www.amazon.com
it easily outperforms photoshop in quality, but go have some coffee if you plan to do noise reduction in better quality!
from www.amazon.com
for noise removal i strongly recommend nik software dfine 2.0 plugin for adobe photoshop or imagenomics noiseware.

the battery life is very good, my daughter took 200+ pictures with 1 full charge, i bought extra battery from ebay, much cheaper, they are charging $49 for a canon battery.....rip-off!

my only complaint about this product is the camera/video/view media switch on the back.
from www.amazon.com
but if you want a great camera for taking pictures of people, pets and with the macro setting (up close such as jewelry to list on ebay) this camera will be your new best friend.

even though the 18mm end gives what can be an awesome view, upon viewing on photoshop, the quality is really lacking - details are blurred.

-first, when using the onboard built in flash, its default setting is for ttl-bl, meaning that it tries to match the overall scene-results in some underexposure that needs correcting in photoshop.
from www.amazon.com
fortunately, the cost of these media is dropping so fast that this is less of an issue than it would have been a few years ago.

the picture quality so far is great, i've been using it for a lot of nature shots and i've found i don't have to use the saturation setting as much in photoshop.

i watched on youtube some of the sample videos (which you can find just by typing the camera model) and the hd was amazing, even in such a small camera!

it is the software that is to blame, i have never been impressed with canon's software and am delighted that adobe has released camera raw 4.6 to allow me to get back into bridge and photoshop cs3.
from www.amazon.com
the possibilities of creative potential offered by this camera are only limited by your skill and creativity as a photographer/photoshop user.
from www.amazon.com
with the included photoshop elements you are well on your way to producing pictures that you could only have imagined in the pre-digital days.
from www.amazon.com
they scammed me out of 99.99 dollars worth of photoshop, and i'm still trying to settle it with them.
