Yeah, let's keep this thread going. A big sensor, as we all know, has some definite advantages, but even a tiny sensor camera, even a cheap one, can be worthwhile too.

While entering some old photos into my Lightroom database yesterday, I noticed some images taken with my Konica Minolta A2 that made me think of this thread, so here are a few of those pictures.

All of these pictures were taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in May of 2005 with my A2. All photos were handheld, and when you take a look at the shutter speeds on some of them I think that you may see why I was impressed with the anti-shake of the A2.

The second image was taken through the window of a restaurant, which is the reason for the reflections at the top and bottom of the right side of the image.

With best wishes,

Here are three more images from Pittsburgh.

The first image is a detail of the bridge that was shown in the previous photo, taken in the evening. The second is an image of some of the old steel-manufacturing equipment in the foreground, with "Steel Town" (Pittsburgh) in the background.

With best wishes,

Nice pics chaps - I especially like Tom's Pittsburgh shots - just shows what crisp shots small sensor cameras can prodcue in good light and of course fantastic deep dof.

Mvanrheenen - nice composition on the cathedral!

Bakubo - nice textures, the high contrast really makes them pop.

Here is one from the McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis TX. I was using my wife's Canon Powershot because I killed my film camera in Big Bend.....The observatory is a great place to visit, and I can't wait to go there with a proper camera.
