NEW CAMERA, with fancy pictures to show off. - Blu-ray Forum

onehothemi · 08-23-2008, 11:47 PM

My new camera is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W120 digital camera. I took some pictures of T3 off my XBR5 and shrank them for load times. Let me know what you think of the picture quality. The camera has Super SteadyShot and 4x optical zoom, 7.2 mega pixels, and I chose the silver color to match my other Sony equipment. I got it for $159.99 price matched at Best Buy, with the 2 year replacment plan. TRUST ME every now and then, if you know how to use them, the replacment plans are golden. My last camera, a Sony DSC-60, had 3x optical zoom, 4.1 mega pixels, and MPEGmovieVX, still works and takes good pictures but not even close as good as the new one does, and besides it took a beating, and could not take truely clear pictures without the flash on or really good lighting, as there was no stability shot. The new camera is tiny, with rechargable infoLithium which tells you how many minutes left there is on the charge of the battery right on the screen. I got the Sony leather slim case, 2gb Sony memory stick pro duo chip, and an extra Sony battery. I also got a Ambico tripod stand with three levels of height adjustment. The whole thing was $300.00 which I think is very reasonable for the package.

The pictures are decent, a little pixelated, but not awful

Pretty sweet! I just got this one a couple of months ago. For the money, it is awesome!!

Are those lights like the Ambi lights Phillips had? I always thought that was a great idea.

So they do change as you watch the movie?

No, I'm guessing he installed LED strips behind his television.

Ambilight on Philips does change. And naysayers aside, I love it - and can't be without it now. No concern, my next video upgrade is a projector anyway,

I've got a decent camera, but have never been able to take awesome screen shots like some of you folks around here. What's the trick? Do you have special settings enabled? Are you using a tripod or other method to steady the shot? Are the display images paused, or do you just snap a photo of what's playing? I want to add my pics to the current HT pics thread, but can never seem to get them to look as good as others. Advise?
