Apparently a human eye has around 5 million cone receptors that detect colour and around hundred million rods that detect monochrome contrast which is about 105MP per eye, however you have 2 eyes and they are shaped with in built image processing, in perfect light and with perfect eyes (both not likely with facts like “Women have more cones than men”) your eyes pick up and give your brain a MP image of :

Approximately 210mega-pixels capture that your brain turns into an approximately 550 mega-pixels image

A quick post to share with you that my new Canon 400D DSLR camera has a page on flickr all about it with many real photos : http://www.flickr.com/cameras/canon/eos_digital_rebel_xti/

I took this picture some time ago from our cabin on a cruise ship while in the Caribbean, it’s currently the most popular picture I have on flickr.

After a good friend of mine let me take a few photos on his Nikon D40 I have took the plunge into the world of Digital Single-lens reflex cameras and purchased a Cannon 400D

In My Opinion Positives :

• Very quick to turn on
• Takes pictures quickly and many to grab the moment
• Manual is good, easy to understand, comprehensive and small enough to carry in a bag
• Love the 9 point focus
• Easy to use the menus
• Fast to change settings
• Optic adjuster has fine settings and enough change support
• Easy to plug into my mini USB
• Works very well with Vista with both Raw format and picture support
• Quality is very much better than my old portable Camera
• Good quality 2.5 inch screen on the back
• Preview operation is fast and functional
• 10 mega-pixels seems the perfect resolution for my needs
• Lots of options to learn when i`m ready, put very easy to learn the basic options for Portrait etc

In My Opinion Negatives :

• After 4 or so flash photos it takes a while for the flash to recharge
• I can’t seem to use raw file format for the auto modes
• Cost (but comparable to other similar camera)
• Needed to buy a bag for it (SlingShot 100 AW) as advised from another friend.
• Could’t find a firmware patch path at Cannon, this is disappointing as I love to gain new features on gadgets

Overall the positives far out way the negatives and i`m very happy with my choice
