Im buying drinks on the house.WHEW!I was handed a crappy camera with no macro. I wanted a camera with Macro. Found a good Macro Camera. But now no zoom. I used a camcorder for that. Now I see Rail Images where windshields shine in the sun and birds (Count the feathers too..) sit on a bridge BEHIND the engine being shot and see that all of my camera stuff is CRAP.I can make a video of a engine towing a train across 3 feet of track and keep everything reasonably good looking. But I see shots of both camera and camcorders taking trains plus scenery plus maintaining quality through out. The only thing I can think of is to learn how to find this equiptment and get it.When I take orginal DV video onto the hard disk off the Digital 8 tape and find that one hour of the stuff is 15 GB in size and crunch it down to something useable by the killjoy video hosting sites with Windows Media 11 and it is adequate.But when I see BIG images taken with BIG cameras with HUGE filesizes one must wonder what we can or cannot do and still stay under 500 dollars. My Local Church has a portable video camera that has a lens approx 6 inches in caliber and about 8 inches deep and the images it can take in real time qualifies for the new so-called HDTV which is what they use. That would be WAY out of a average joe's budget like mine.Im looking again at the old Pentrax. What you saw in the view finder and fired the shutter was what you got.
