Friday went out and bought the Rebel. Shot 150 photos Saturday on the delta. Love this camera so far and the picture quality is good with the 200mm lens.

Mike - How much and where did you get it? I was thinking about picking up one myself.

I bought it at Ritz's in the Dublin mall. I paid $999 for the camera $199 for the lense.

Not to sure how it looks on everyone's computer. The pic looks awesome on my home computer but looks like crap on the screen I am looking at right now.

Mike,It looks like You really reduced the file size to post it here on WW, Try downloading the full size file to wakepics and lets see how it looks there.

How do I keep the pics looking good when I download them to the net? In photo shop the quality is so much better.

Good question ! I think as soon as You reduce the file size the quality goes down hill.
The best way that I've found so far is to download a full size file to wakepics.com and then save the pic from there. I think it just slightly reduces the size so it will fit on WakeWorld.

Mike, Are You shooting Your pics in JPEG FINE ?

(ridn9high) · (ridn9high) **Join Date: Feb 2004** 06-23-2004, 5:09 PM

Thanks walk. I will learn, It is my first time downloading photos to WW and it was my first day using the camera. Going to Shasta for a week on Friday. Will post some pics when I get back.

BTW all the photos above were takin during the midle of the day. Was playing with the camera in the morning trying to figure it all out.
