Could've fooled me... I think your photos are great :) Don't sell yourself short mate.

My nephew came over a couple of weeks ago to take pictures of my collection and he has an SLR (not sure what brand). We quickly discovered that perhaps an SLR is not the best camera to use in my Transformers room as it is intentionally dark and all my toys are behind glass.

For every picture he took, I took one with my crappy 10 year old 5 megapixel digital camera and in most cases in came out better.

My wife's exploring the possibility of getting a new SLR camera using her reward points but now she's not so sure. It does take great pictures though given the right amount of light.

I see. im pretty sure the SLR camera can compensate with dark rooms and low quality lighting, all my image are poor quality lighting but just manage to fix the white balance of the image which gives it the look that its been taken from a good lighting environment.

Well if you want, and that is "IF"i get invited to your place il take some photos of your tfs:) all my photos was taken with my shutters closed during night time awith some low quality light, beleive it or not. and a tripod could really help with focusing on the subject as well.

it is a kodak digitial 7mp. how do i get more light into the photos? what would u recommend i change?:confused:

Autocon, it looks like you are using a flash. Ideally it would be better if the light source wasn't coming from the same direction as the camera.

Do you have a desk lamp(s) or something else you could use for the light? If you have more than one light make sure they are the same colour/temp so that the white balance can be corrected properly.

hope this helps.
