You don't need a great camera! (Jungle Carpet Python)

[ramzee86]

These shots are all taken by my hand held Canon G10,
so don't think you need an SLR!
Best advice is to read the entire manual, lets you explore so much more then what you think your camera can do.

ramzee, the G10 was created for professional photographers, as a cheaper, knock-around, easy to carry point-and-shoot that allows control over most of the manual settings that an SLR does. It has better than average exposure and colour, and a larger sensor than most p&s.... So while it's not an SLR, it's definitely better than a average point and shoot, hence the price tag Nice pics.

Yeh but i mean some general handhelds do have great quality and features, i had a $200 Canon Powershot that took the best Macros ive ever taken! it was really chunky and only 8 Mega Pixels...
Just tryig to encourage people to take some nice photos of their animals with the cams they have!

The G10 is a serious camera, probably better than a lot of the "entry level" DSLR.

You should be able to achieve good quality photos with just about any camera, providing it's in working order.

There were taken with P&S cameras...

very cool pics. I know my point & shoot doesnt take 'those' pics very well. Shutter speed not fast enough. Point taken though. The frusting part is knowing that the colours are much better on the animal than that captured by the camera.

I still want an SLR my justification anyway.

Thanks again for the cool pics

Even from average cameras you can get photos worthy of publishing in books.. when you learn to get the most out of it.

Very true, however dslr are clearly better, you can still get great photos with hand-helds!

Wow...they are some great shots Henry. The clarity and focus is just amazing.
I don't know if anyone has the time...but a great way of showing the benefit of the DSLR's would be to put two shots up of the same critter, one using the DSLR and the other with a reasonable point and shoot, (with similar settings).

It's a western heath dragon Ctenophorus (Rankinia) adelaidensis. This is a rather handsome coloured up male.
