Manual or automatic Cam??

[amsurfer]

Its very interesting i have been using an automatic Nikon D-200 camera, that i purchased online from www.microglobe.co.uk, result is excellent, but someone advised me to check manual one, and it would return you better result than automatic, i am confused, is it true?? I shot nature… yea I love cameras for there is a very famous notion about: The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera

I say... yes and no... an automatic camera is going to be best for someone who doesn't understand aperature settings, depth of field, and white point etc. Most have presets that cover the spectrum of use and will take good photos. That being said... a good photographer that understands all the intricate little technical jargon I just mentioned and how to adjust for different environments will get better photos from a camara that allows manual control because as I have learned over the years... "anything with "auto" in the name is never delivers top notch quality" and if you take the time and patients to learn to to control things without "auto" then you usually will end up with a better final result. :cool:

There's been a rash of spam all over these boards. Anything with a link to some sort of Online Commerce is most likely spam.

ahhh... I see

I am always amazed at some people's gorilla advertising tactics. I had thought about setting up a web site that called out hackers to use their skills for good of the internet rather than destroying by attacking the web sites that use these types of spam as well as email spam. (Ok... it is still destructive but IMHO the businesses that fall to this type of spam are asking for it). Don't know what would come of it but... idea is to list all those company web sites I get in unsolicited emails and ones that troll forums and such and then advertise it to the hacker community with info regarding why the sites are on the list.

A black list of sites it would be :D
