Rose picture taken with a bridge camera...........

I debated as to whether or not to share this picture with the Forum or not. This is a picture of a Rose that I took yesterday using my Canon SX10is bridge camera...poor quality picture when compared to Rose pictures taken with my Sony NEX-6 camera using several different lenses in my humble opinion.

I had not used this bridge camera in a long time, and decided to dust it off and take a few pictures with it. After seeing so many great pictures posted on this Forum by folks using bridge cameras, I was highly disappointed in the pictures that I took yesterday. I will admit that the problem was me, not the camera. Something like this is common from lack of using a camera for a long period of time, you lose your skills using the camera.

Please note that a more experienced and skilled photographer could have possibly produced a much better picture. Kelley (Texas) :)

I think it's a beautiful shot and in my humble opinion I think it's a bit soft compared with what you usually do with the nex6. As you say, maybe with different settings, a smaller aperture or in-camera sharpening or whatever it might have come out differently....still beautiful though. Funny, I only have two camera bodies...my old nex7 and my newer sony 7r but when I go back to the old one I tend to forget the optimal settings for that particular camera. I think most pieces of equipment, like cameras, lenses, computers etc. all need to be tweaked to find their sweet spots.
 
I agree with Dave.....it's still a lovely photo.Don't forget that this particular camera is now very old technology compared to the latest bridge cameras so the image quality will fall a bit short.
As you have bought up the subject of bridge cameras I may write a little piece on my experiences with my bridge camera compared to interchangeable lens cameras and why I will always use it in preference to an slr or mirrorless design.
 
what I contribute to the disappointing picture was due to my not using this camera on a regular and forgetting to operate it at peak performance. If I would again read the owner's manual and practice a few days. I am confident that I could produce some good pictures with it.

Please do write your article about bridge cameras and the DSLR camera. I for one would love to read your opinion on this subject. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
It's always nice to shake the dust off the old camera and go play, I've still got my very first 35mm, a Canon AE1 from a whole bunch of years ago when they first came out and have been thinking of trying to buy some film and take it out for a spin. Very nice photo from your dust collector.
 
I thought it was a very nice picture. I use the bridge camera and the little Canon more than I do the big Nikon DSLR. I guess I'm lazy and want to get the photo fast and easy. Bottom line, the DSLR does take great pictures but the bridge and pocket cameras are so convenient.
