Foxes at the bottom of the garden...

...well, actually, across the railway line on the other side of the cuttting.

With the new roof space, you can sit up above the city, watching them live their lives, completely unconcerned, and usually asleep...



The source image taken with a Fuji FinPix S2 Pro we've got in for review, using the standard lens and then severely cropped in a standard photo editing tool to produce the candid fox shot. This is a 1:1 pixel image, not scaled like many of my usual picture postings.

So you can get a feel for the actual resolution of the picture, here's the original, scaled from the camera's 4256 x 2848 pixels to a more usable (and LJ friendly) 500 x 335 pixels. Spot the fox in there!

Awwww -- sleepy fox! Kawaii!

(Nice high-res camera, too. :))

Yeah, pity they'll notice if they don't get it back!

Cool foxes. Camera quality seems a little murky. There's visible artefacts, so I assume you've compressed the original JPEG further for LJ?

Yes, I just used my default PSP JPEG settings to keep things small. I'm not sure if this camera uses the diagonally mounted Fuji CCD as well...

That's a fair amount of pixels there - is that a real resolution, or interpolated? The picture looked murky on my notebook screen but it's even duller on the medium-quality CRT at work. hard to say if it's the camera, though. You might want to add a little gamma to brighten things up. You will put up a link to the final camera review, yes?

Yes it does, so the camera is doing some interpolation before the image is written to the card.

Also, depends what ISO setting was used. Noise at the higher ISOs is noticable with all the digital SLRs. Some just handle it better than others.

Which lens were you supplied with, as the S2 Pro doesn't normally come with a lens as standard?

The Nikkor 24-85mm.

The AF-S 24-85/3.5-4.5G ED or the 24-85/2.8-4D IF?

Both of which are nice lenses and on the S2 would give you an effective focal length of 36-147.5mm.

Now if they'd sent you a AF-S 70-200/2.8G VR IF-ED, I'd have been straight round to help you 'lose' it :-)

Apologies, getting all Nikon lens geeky... off for a cold shower.
