Not really, my camera cost nearly $4500 when new, and it doesn't do it :-)

The real answer is that any camera will do it, but in post processing via photoshop. It's far better to take the picture in full colour on the camera, and then perform post processing later on. That way, you can not only customise the levels to a far finer extent, but the original image is unharmed.

i.e. you can always add sepia/B&W to an image, but you can't remove it from a image that has already had it applied. It's for this same reason that my camera is always setup with "no sharpening".

Most medium priced digital camera upwards should allow you to take sepia photos. I have a Canon Powershot A40 which is more or less a medium entry-level camera and it has the option for sepia. So I would think that anything better then this ($600 when I purchased) would allow you to do this also.

Our Kodak DC4800 and DX3900 will do sepia.

DannielPenna: I gather you'll be giving the A70 a good workout at the cruise tonight eh?

danielpenna, get the teleconverter lens, I got it for my a40, gets you twice the digital zoom (2.4x to be exact) and is a good upgrade IMO. Also good that I can use it when I upgrade to g2/g3/a70 in the future and possibly other brands as well.

I hope you mean twice the optical zoom, not digital. I personally turn digital off as I think its a waste of time.

BTW: What would be the cheapest place to buy the lens ?? You need the adaptor as well dont you ??

DZ: PM sent , ignore the question about your camera DZ, just read the post above ....should have seen it the first time.

Sorry yes I meant optical not digital :knock: I don't use digital zoom either. And yes it's 2.4x or 35mm equivalent is 252mm which isn't to bad. Yes you need the adaptor lens as well, but that adaptor allows you to use wide converter lens, close up lens and filters lenses as well. As for cheapest place to buy, not really sure, I had to wait for 2 months just for the lens to come into stock, there was a big backlog on canon products at the time, not sure if there still is.

yup.
never shoot in anything but colour..

sepia can be done with one little click in ACDSee, so do that, and u can vary the amount of it, as well as changing it to a bluey style too.. like:



2 clicks with acdsee

Here's a couple of 'old-school' sepia toned and blue toned prints....it was my first time in the darkroom so they're not very good.

beginner here, taken with my new nikon SLR.

[everlast]

Sorry to ask a question in here but i thought some of the photo experts might have some advice for me.

I bought a Canon G3 a couple of weeks ago and just noticed the other day that it has a hot pixel in the exact same spot on just about every photo. Did a test with different shutter speeds in a pitch black room and the hot pixel comes up, there could be more than 1. It's enough to annoy me.

Now what i want to know is, is this acceptable? Do i have to just put up with it or should i drop it in to canon for repair (i heard they can remap the CCD?) OR should i take it back to where i bought it and ask for a new one (They have a 28 day straight swap for new one policy)
Main concern here is that i might get one that is even WORSE..

Any suggestions/advice?

Cheers.
PS: Ill post some pics once i get things sorted

[trent from punchy]

if u can swap it, do it.

its not gonna go away by itself, and if it anoys you, why not.

sending it to canon will fix it, but youll probly be without your cam for 2-3 weeks.
