oh your pictures are so good!!!!! i just got the new lens for xmas and i love it so far...i have never talked to anyone else who has the same camera me! everyone else has a canon or a nikon. so i need to know about the different lens's that you have. which ones do you like the best and what do you use all those different ones for? i researched forever and i still have no idea what to look for in a lens! lol, so any input would be fantastic!!

Thanx Tanya!

I have this camera for over a year now en never had regrets about buying it. I've worked in a store that sells camera's (sorry, don't know it there's an English word for it ) for 1,5 years, so I have some knowledge about it.

The 18-70 lens (sony) came with the camera when I bought it (I thought I had read that some country's had the 18-55 as a kitlens, but I'm not sure).
The 18-200 lens (sigma) is what we call an allround-lens. It has a little bit of wide-angle and goes to telezoom. This way you don't have to change lenses a lot (less dust on your sensor that way!). That's the reason I bought it for Disneyland! I didn't want to waste so much time changing my lenses.
The 10-20 lens (sigma) is what we call ultra wide-angle. That way you can get more of your environment on your picture. For example the picture I took from the Disneyland Hotel. I can even get my own feet on the photo
And the 70-300 lens (sigma) is a tele-lens for taking photo's of things or people that are further away AND for macro (flowers, butterflies, things like that).

The last time we went to Disneyland, I only took the 18-200 and the 10-20 lens with me and that really was enough for me.

My English is far from perfect, I hope you understand it all...
I can put more pics from Disneyland Paris on internet if you like.
I have my own site with a few other pictures: www.byfiona.nl
The site's not finished yet, but it's a start...

Wow, awesome shots! My cameras do not do well in low light (so I can especially appreciate the nightime shots from you both). I also love the wide angle shot in the hotel. I have a Nikon D50. It came with two lenses, the shorter one doesn't go wider than 28mm (argh!). I need to get a better one. I just bought a 50mm 2.8, which is much better in low light than I had. I still haven't taken it to Disney World yet. I took my Olympus EVOLT in 2006 (back when I took the time to learn how to shoot manual). Nutshell, I have two entry-level DSLR's that take good photos, but I'd like to go to the next level - just not in the budget.

Here's a cool one... but I doubt any of us will be able to duplicate it!

Thanks for your cool pics Tanya & Fioontje! Fioontje, I love seeing pics of Disneyland Paris! They recently added a balloon to downtown Disney at Disney World, but I've only seen it from a distance. Your hotel reminds me of the Grand Floridian.

Carol, that pic is cool!

Ugh, someone has to work on my pics for me so I can post some from my trip. :P

[TanyaH666]

i forgot about these 2! i love the panoramic option on PSE and i always try to remember to take pictures so i can use it.

[Fioontje]

The panorama pics are awesome Tanya!
I'm gonna look in my archive for more photo's to show you all

Tanya-Cool panoramics! I took 2 this trip, but I haven't stitched them together yet (have to find the program for my camera first.)

Hello all! Carol I am thrilled to see that you re-started this thread here. Like Heather said I always enjoyed the original one so it is great to keep it going. I have several to add but one quick question. What size dimensions are you using for posting purposes? For example, we usually post our layouts at 600x600 so I am just curious what sizes you ladies have been using to post the amazing shots that are already here. Thanks in advance for your help!
