@marlon - The K700i's built-in light meter is very nicely calibrated indeed. Very pleasant in bright-light and high-contrast situations. 
@govigov - Nice to see you in this thread again! Do you still have your K500i?

@gov - yup long time no post here mate, hope your keeping well !
The reason for the part coloured label was that I had selected that area and converted the rest of the picture to Black and white.

@chili - yes agree bud, the only real problem I find is that the camera finds it hard to keep too much detail crisp. Keep the picture fairly simple and the K700 does a grand job. By the way, thats another great picture and if I may be so bold as to say that the young lady looks as fit as you like
Me out and about the the gitmyster over the weekend

I really can't HELP it but wonder if Chili is 'always' bringing his models (objects) with him everytime he decides to make a - shoot . . . with quality of course!

@JAGUY85 - I didn't turn the picture from black and white to colour mate. I turned a negative shot into a normal coloured picture and from that edited it keeping the bottle coloured and changing the rest of the picture to black and white.
@doc not sure where max has been lately although I'm sure he won't miss you wedgie comment
With the photo package I have, it would take forever and a day to keep the trees b&w and turn the sky blue mate.

@marlon - Bud, I have to confess that I've lost interest in detail clarity, which is why I have no plans of getting a K750i or any megapixel camera.
Composition is everything to me: Not wasting a millimetre within the frame, everything within it working to present a single, harmonious image. (Easier said than done, though.) That way, it will not occur to the viewer to say, "I can't see this or that thing very well." Ever notice in my "gitana filipina" pic how the tree in front of the girl echoes her shape? The top of the tree corresponds to the arms raised to her head. That's harmony.
@jojo - No, of course not Life is so rich. You just need to look around. There's really no need to "bring models," unless you're doing commercial photography.
@max, where are you man....
to own the world and not much more

@doc - I did think about putting something in the frame but couldn't find anything I liked and to be honest the photo package I happen to use is no photoshop

@chili - your obviously very happy with the k700 bud, I can see from the pictures you take that composition is very important. We all have different ways of looking at it, and what works for one doesn't nescessarally work for someone else. I too agree that detail and clarity isn't always important but for me all depends on the subject matter.
I am a little different in as much as I like to see the detail in some shots more than others. Mainly due to the subject matter I am in to at the moment. I get to spend a lot of time out with the gitmyster and have grown to love the surroundings I find myself in. I take a fair number of shots whilst out with the gitmyster and I find so much going on with the different types, scenery that I like to pick out the detail.
Now the K700 as great as it is, it sometimes loses some of the detail I remember when taking the original shot and I find this a little dissapointing, (not always). Having said that I still have some great shots that I am very pleased with regardless of the amount of pixels the shots in question were taken with
Now I appreciate that I am going to post a w800 pic here which i would not usually do, however, it gives a good example of what I have been saying here. The first shot taken with my k700. The second with the w800. In this case same subject matter, quite different in detail and slightly different composition, although I prefer the w800 pic I am very happy with both.
K700....
W800

@marlonski - I agree ! Because the W800i produces sharp images (same with K750i) matey. Nice pics!

@marlonski - can you give a couple of photo enhancing tips? i'm using arcsoft photobase3 and photostudio5.
also, i've noticed that most posters uses only a max resolution of 0.3-0.5 MP in most of their photos. doesn't anybody use the extended mode? it gives off atleast 1MP resolution and i think it looks better than the large size option of the cam.
keep up the great pics guys! as soon as i get me a USB cable for my k7 i'll be uploading my own. i'm getting really envious at all your pics especially marlonski's |

@duo_m - thanks for your comments mate, the guys here post some great shots and all of us that contribute are very proud of not only the amount of posts that we have here but also the variety and quality of shots posted.
I'm no expert but have detailed a couple of the basics I use to enhance some of my photo's.
Black and White pictures - I find I better results when actually using the b&w setting to take a picture but if you have the ability to manipulate a colour photo you will sometimes find that a b&w version can add a new dimension giving a completely different feel to that of the original.
I would also have a look to see whether you have a sharpen function, which again can make a diffence but you have to be carefull when working with vga 640x480 pictures that you don't effectively add artificial noise to a picture by over doing it.
I have and 'autofix' button in my software to correct the lighting. This can make a difference and can sometimes improve the original.i sometimes also use manual settings, more so with b&w
Noiseware - link below, very useful but again you can achieve varying levels of success with this. Sometimes a little noise reduction produces the best result, take too much out and lose too much detail.
You mention using the 1mp resolution, the K700i's "extended" resolution mode. What this does is use the regular VGA sized camera sensor for the photo, apply a few algorithms, and generate a a 1.2MP image. The quality of the images is not really on par with a true megapixel camera but not bad at all, I found the quality better using the 640x480 setting in fine mode, but this is a personal choice as with most of the guys posting here.
Take some shots with the larger setting, there aren't many pictures on here taken at the larger size so it will be interesting to see the results you get

@duo_m, thanks mate What type of camera are you using ? If it's a vga then NOISEWARE is a handy piece of software to have and can help clean up your pictures, have a play with the settings as you will find that each will give you different results. This is the one that you want and it's free

chili, the gitana filipina shot, very lovely. I think I'm in love.
Here's some shot's of some friends playing at the King George Square markets. They call themselves Excavator. The girl we don't know, she just came up and started dancing.
