Only 2.8MB? For a web image, you don't need file sizes anything like that. 1000 pixels wide on the longest side at 72ppi will give modest file sizes of around 200K - 300K with no problem. Any they'll look good as well.

Be careful because Vivitar sourced their guns from various manufacturers and the same model number can have a very different trigger voltage. The safe way is to measure it with a voltmeter. Or simply use a modern flashgun!

The alternative is to use the 2 second delayed action. No cost involved and it raises the mirror before the exposure, thus elminating any vibration.

No 3 is superb, I'm undecided whether or not cutting out the left window makes it better? I might add some light into the "candles" as well.

The shot on the road is pretty good as well! It looks as if your daughter might be serious competition.

PM on its way.

The I-10 is slightly more substantial and I find it easier to keep steady. It also has the sensor shift SR which is a real advanatge. Camera shake is so easy to get with compacts.

The RS1000 has a remarkably good lens but is a bit more basic than the I-10. On the other hand it's fun and it can deliver the goods.

I think it's a matter of what you fancy, as both these cameras are excellent. I tend towards the I-10, but I really did enjoy using the RS1000. Which would I choose to buy? The I-10.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear - I like the challenge of producing quality images from compact cameras. It's niot as easy as with a DSLR, but it can be done. The I-10 is the ideal compact to deliver the quality with.

Gorgeous image indeed, love that red!
