Poor Quality Digital Pix....suggestions?

[Blue1]

I have Corel Photoshop. In that program you have the option of raising or lowering the resolution in a 'dpi' (dots per inch) format. However, be aware that there is only so much you can do with a digitial pic after the fact. I use a Kodak DC3400 (older 2 Megapixel) which I usually set on the lowest resolution, quality, etc. I too get a moire effect on some photos. Tile roofs, shingles anything with strong horizontal/vertical lines. Like Mike, never had anyone question it. Good luck...........

Steve:

Does your Olympus have a threaded lens?

There is a fisheye screw-on for the many Olympus models (which also fits the old Kodack DC-40's AND Kodack 5000's) There is also a telephoto screwon.

Both have extended the useability and function of several generations of cameras in this office... they don't solve ALL problems, but sure have helped prevent some occasional contortionist over-the-fence shots or tresspassing discussions with Brutus, the Wunder-tooth Dog-next-door! B)

With my Sony 37 mm threads, I screwed in a polarizing filter which helps control glare, and added a 0.5 close up lens (KENKO-$49.95) which threads into the front of the polarizer. I have a .42 closeup which is overboard for most shots, really will fisheye at closest settings. I keep both handy and like Lee Ann i don't have to argue with the neighbors dog to get a rear shot, nor cross the street for a front shot. 37mm is the standard camcorder thread attachment size. My lens came with adapters for 40 and 50 mm

Thats why I like the Kodak DC 210 the lens is 29mm at wide and 58mm at zoom.

I do have the screw on threads on the front. But, I've never been able to find the wide angle adapter. I'm probably just going to upgrade to a newer camera next year, so I can get a little wider angle. This one is pushing 6 years old now and I don't know how long these electronic ones will last. My old Pentax K is over 20 years old and still going strong.

The front of this lens says: OLYMPUS LENS AF ZOOM 9.2-28mm 1:2.8-3.9 43mm GLASS ASPHERICAL. So, I'm taking that to mean that at the widest setting, I have a 43mm lens. Just a fraction wider than a standard 50mm on a SLR.

Have you checked E-bay? You can also check Cameta Camera in NY. They have at least one of everything photographic and they have been especially good to me. Just an option.

Haven't yet. All I've been doing is taking 2 pictures of the rear (or whatever won't fit in the frame). So far no complaints from UW, so it must be okay.

Hmmm, sure is a lot cheaper than a new camera.

:rofl:
So is the 65 coyote pelts they cost new from the local camera shop!
but I definitely run to the cheaper side of the spectrum fo acquisition costs for parts for 'used equipment'

Speaking of which!

If anyone has a back door for a Nikon 5000, I popped the the little silver lever off... and have to buy a new door at 65 + S&H... or get someone to mail me a lever off a defunct 5000.

will pay up to $5 :lol: cheeep! Cheeeep!
