\nAnd now, for pictures from my Sony Cybershot DSC-W190! It packs a 35-105mm equivalent zoom lens (surprisingly, 35mm can be quite wide even when you’re used to having much wider focal lengths…)<\/p>\n


\nIt reminds me of slide film, with a specific latitude that you must adhere to. Then again, I don’t mind the high black point, as it was the light and shadow I was trying to convey.<\/p>\n


\nFor the pixel peepers – the maximum ISO is 3200, and you can only expect so much from a regular front-lit CCD sensor. (This is not a back-lit CMOS!)<\/p>\n


\nOf course, when you need it, it gives the mood…<\/p>\n


\nEnough arsing around. Having Live View all the time helps with tricky angles (where having a SLR would make it very obvious that you were trying to take a picture!)<\/p>\n


\nLive View (which is what all point-and-shoots offer) gets you nice overhead angles.<\/p>\n


\nBig chunky cameras are for girls!<\/p>\n


\nThe other thing I loved about using a point-and-shoot, is that there is no mirror, and the mechanical shutter is very quiet, so you could take street shots in a shopping mall without people noticing (even though my camera was metallic red!)<\/p>\n


\nHad I used a SLR the owner would’ve known I was trying to take pictures of his shop.<\/p>\n


\nI love Smile Shutter<\/b>. It gets the goofiest smiles out of everybody (since the W190 isn’t extremely sensitive to smiles, you need to smile harder and bigger.)<\/p>\n


\nSmile Shutter not used for this one (incidentally, Face Detection<\/b> struggles with back-lit faces, so it would not have been possible unless I bring the camera real close to the face.)<\/p>\n


\nGiven good light, the colors are awesome!<\/p>\n


\nTaking pictures while waiting for the train is a nice way to pass time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
