It's Not The Camera!

As an avid photographer I really like my Sony DSC-R1 10.3 megapixel digital camera. It combines all the features of my old reflex cameras with the advances in digital technology. But it doesn't take better pictures than my film cameras, not yet.

What it does do is make it cheaper and easier. But the quality of the picture depends on the photographer not the camera.

We have 3 tulips in a pot on the window sill. I can't get a good picture from the street.




It doesn't look like there's any way to get a good picture from inside the house either.



But if I move the pot to the left and shoot from a low angle I can get a decent picture with the sky in the background.



It's not the camera!
