Samsung NV10 10.1 MegaPixel Digital Camera

Part III

October, 2006

John E. Johnson, Jr.


These two rose succulents have a mixture of burgundy and green. No problems. Obviously, I used the Macro mode for the close-ups. It works very well.

Yellow does not always appear to be a problem, as long as it is not too intense. This Yellow Begonia is beautifully rendered. Even though the image stabilization (ASR - Anti-Shake Reduction) is active here, it does not totally remove the effects of my shaky hand. A tripod would be in order for serious flower photo close-ups.

Depth of field is extremely narrow when you get this close (Yellow Flowering Ginger).

Again, as long as the flower color is not too intense, no problem, such as with this Pink Dahlia.

It is funny to think back when I paid $1,000 for one of the first digital cameras, which had only 640x480 resolution and took the photo as interlaced images. Now, the cameras are 1/3 that price and just incredible in quality. This ceramic blue bird looks like I can reach out and touch it.

Shown here is a problem that all photo recording technologies have, including digital sensors and film. This terra cotta sun has great detail and exposure in the shadowed region, but the bright areas are blown out. It's a difficulty with all cameras. I am hoping that digital sensors can be programmed to reduce the voltage output in the bright areas with situations like this, so we can see the detail in the regions where there is direct sunlight.

The batteries for digital cameras are really getting to be amazing. I shot tons of photos and never had a problem with the blinking battery indicator on the camera.
