Jessi, your question is like this:.

I really like the books by a particular author. Can anyone tell me what kind of word processor he uses? Then if I get the same one I'll be able to write books just as good..

Or: I like the songs of a particular artist. Does anyone know what make of guitar he/she uses, so that I can get one and write songs just as good?.

The pictures are good because they are well composed and correctly exposed. THis is a matter of the skill of the photographer. Any reasonable modern camera could have been used; it doesn't matter, any more than it makes a difference to the quality of a story whether it is written with a pencil or Microsoft Word..

If you want to take pictures like that, get any good-quality compact camera (like the Fuji D31 or Canon G9, or many others) or an entry-level DSLR (like the Nikon D40 or Pentax K100D) and... practice a lot..

Best wishesMike..

Without being quite as sarcastic as Mike, although Mike has it correct..

It's impossible to tell. The colors are perhaps over saturated, and thus it reminds me of Sony (H5?), but there are a lot of cameras that would allow you to oversaturate the colors as a default setting. As well the photos could have been post processed in any of a dozen photoeditors to give that look..

Mike is also right, pick up a good superzoom Sony H5/7, Canon G7/9, or Fuji S6000A member of the rabble in good standing...

Thanks a lot mike and LM,.

I knew the question was very vague. I really appreciate that you guys answered it. Atleast now I know what range of cameras I am looking for!.

Jessi..

It is really hard to judge photo quality from online images......Also, post processing ( photoshopping ) can totally alter images.... I took this shot with a Nikon 4MB camera a few years ago......You can see how a few computer clicks of post-processing can change the look of a photo. A good compact or sub compact plus a good p.p. software program should give you the look you are after..

A bit of advice,...If you do go with a compact digital , make sure it has Image Stabilization so you can get good shots, day or night, inside or outside...without flash, in natural light..

Europe will be an adventure, enjoy it....

Bruce.

I wasn't meaning to be sarcastic... sorry if it came across that way. Reading a message on screen does not convey the tone of voice that was intended!.

People who are new to photography do get over-impressed by the gear and think that 'good camera = good pictures', when they wouldn't think the same about any other area that requires skill and practice. Just be aware of that before you spend a lot of money on an expensive camera just before you travel and then find the results don't live up to your expectations. If you are planning a trip next summer, get a camera now and practice a lot so that when you travel next year you can be confident of getting some good pictures of your trip..

Best wishesMike..

Down load KUSO Exif viewer, (FREE) and then open the photo on PC then right click and view Exif, this will give you most of the info you want..

Hello everyone,I am new to photography. I stumbled upon these pictures in a photosharing website. I just love the quality of these pictures. It islike these pictures are taken out of a movie. I am looking for thecamera which took these pictures. There is no EXIF informationassociated with these photos, so I couldnt get the information aboutthe camera type..

Can you guys help me? I am travelling to Europe next summer and iwant to buy a camera which takes similar type of pictures. I know thequestion is naive. But I couldnt even guess whether these picturesare taken from an SLR or if she did some photoshop touch to it..

Looking at the photos, my guess would be that they are scans of film prints. The color cast on some of them remind me of 35mm film prints that I used to get at 1 hour photo places..

None of them require anything special as far as photo equipment, since they all seem to have been taken in good light...
