I've used many different cameras since I started taking fotos with intention. The fotos within are the results of all of them. In the early days of my photographing, I ignorantly took fotos at the standard size (or smaller)....not knowing the importance of shooting at the largest size possible. You can size down, but sizing up is tricky to say the least, if not an all around No-No. So as a result, I snapped some good fotos that are simply too small. Ah well, live and learn, right? We shall use those as reminders of being more aware.

 

So here are some fotos....Some snapped from cheap digital cameras, some snapped from more high-end image capturing wonders. All snapped with the same good vibes that encompass me. I've always found that whatever camera I'm using, contains some pretty wonderful and fortunate Karma dancing through it....it's just plain old good Mojo for sure. xo

-Sony Cyber-shot 3.2 mega pixels:       My earliest camera. Good and basic, but slow shooting.                                                                                    Poor low-light and night fotos.

​

-Fuji Film FinePix Z 30:                           I LOVED this camera. Good camera for the cheap price.                                                                                  Took poor low-light and night fotos. Also slow to capture a                                                                              foto. So it took patience and planning if I wanted to capture                                                                            an action shot.

​

-iPhone 5S:                                                  It takes good quality fotos, but limited in choices.  Also not                                                                              much to the zoom if you're looking to capture something at a                                                                          distance. Much better when you're right up onnit.

​

-iPhone SE:                                                A fantastic improvement on the 5S. Clearer, snappier snaps.                                                                           Still lacking in the zoom department.

​

-DXO ONE:                                                  Current cameraLOVE. This is a fantastic camera, Period. It                                                                            connects to an iPhone via Lightning Port. It can be used with

                                                                         phone or unattached on it's own. It takes incredible low-light                                                                          and night fotos (the main reason I chose it to begin with). It                                                                            takes RAW, SuperRAW and JPEG. I snap nearly everything                                                                            in SuperRAW. It's small and inconspicuous (the other                                                                                      reason why I chose it), has wireless connection so you can                                                                                download your fotos to your laptop immediately. Great                                                                                    ZOOM, great indoor fotos as well. Crisp, Clear and happy-                                                                              making for sure. Downsides is the lightning port connection                                                                            itself. It slipped off my phone the first day I got it and landed                                                                          on the floor. !!Holy Moly!! I was very worried that I snapped                                                                          the flip connector clean off and there goes a ton of money                                                                                down the drain. Luckily no damage. But I mighta shaved a                                                                              couple of months off my life in that second for sure. So the                                                                              connector bit is hairy. You have to hold it a certain way to                                                                                ensure a secure grip. There's also a need to 'Push' it in a little                                                                          bit to get the camera ready to snap a foto. Taking fotos                                                                                      without the phone poses different issues.....the little window                                                                          on the camera itself offers a black and white, highly pixelated                                                                          view of your subject. So you are still somewhat                                                                                                    photographing blind when using it                                                                                                                          alone.  Also there's an unfortunate side of its advantage of                                                                                being small and compact in size....it's hard to keep a good                                                                                grip onnit. The case is smooth with rounded edges. So                                                                                      your always left with this insecure grip on the thing, which                                                                              proves tricky when trying to quickly get off a shot.

 

                                                                         I don't use this camera quite as often as I'd like to. I've had it                                                                          for only a year. Tho I'm currently changing that and am                                                                                    looking forward to really seeing everything that I'm capable                                                                            of doing with it. I'm also hoping that the next version of the                                                                            DXO ONE improves on these aspects. They could have a                                                                                  most excellent, sweet-ass camera if they were able to                                                                                        disappear the shortfalls.
