As an artist, I am looking for a camera that captures true color for my reference photos, does this camera have a good polarizing lens?

This camera is a great crossover from point and shoot to having full control of the shot..a great training camera for the beginning photography enthusiasts. .however..it is far from a professional camera..images are grainy..auto focus is slow..and auto mode images are pretty much unusable without a lot of editing.

Yes. Pretty much so. The colors are not always vivid but fairly well on target. Obviously, this is not a premium camera but for the price it works very well.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

I find it really good in terms of glare. I have it on a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and the images always have good color and contrast in my view.

This camera does excel in 2 of the 3 ways you mentioned...very lightweight and easy to travel with and it does great with portraits. I have not personally done many landscape type pictures so I am not sure how it does in that aspect!

Yes, we did our family portrait and some professional portraits! My brother is a photographer and we used it with high quality lens, he really likes it! Def a geat camera!

I love this camera. It is quick! I've taken animal pictures and photos of moving vehicles. It captures the color spot on.The best purchase I ever made. I do animal portraits and have to photograph my art and the color and image is perfect, unlike my last camera.

I have this 105 and the 105DC both are great for portraits. I don't like the fact that this lens changes aperture when you get in closer but it does have VR.

Yes. That was the lens on my D50 until it was stolen (by a NYC cabbie, BTW). Very light, and surprisingly competent lens but slow. Nice color saturation, decent contrast and given its small max aperture, decently sharp too. The D50 is not a good high ISO camera (none of these early CCD cameras created decent images beyond ISO 400) and this lens' maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 55mm doesn't help matters in dim or failing light.

Does anyone have experience with model and close-up shot quality? I need it for photographing my oil paintings for competitions and websites, but I'd also like it for travel shots. Is it too much to ask for both capabilities in one camera? Thanks

Yes! 100% I would recommend this camera for still picture ,bad side lenses are little expensive .

This is an excellent camera. I have been using it since it was first launched. It can definitely handle low light, however I would recommend a fast lens. That will be the key to keeping the the dreaded noise out of your pictures with higher ISO. Aa far as documents. I would definitely think this would be a great camera to use. I would invest in a tripod though and possibly a macro lens.

Color balance is a camera or post-process issue. It is never a lens issue. Make sure you read up and understand your camera's white-balance options. Then insure you choose the proper profiles on both camera and post-processing software and equipment. The lens itself is an excellent choice for indoor sports when paired with a good quality camera such as Canon 70D that has high ISO capability, and/or a high quality focused flash (preferably both). It is quite heavy, so determine if that is an issue for you.

I bought Nikon D3200 for my this semester's photography class in school and it's gorgeous red color and moderate price actually attract me a lot! Although it is not as powerful as higher level's cameras, it is still suitable to a beginner.

I used mine for B/W, but color is possible with post processing. The camera and lens combination makes all the difference. Not all camera and lenses work well with infared filter. My Nikon 3200 had a noticeable "hot spot" in the images. My Canon S110 point and shoot had only a minor hot spot. I strongly suggest that if you're interested in IR photography check out the web site Lifepixel. It explains all the ins and outs about IR photography.

I wanted to write back and mention that I've used the Pentax 50mm for awhile now with superb results. The reputation is well earned - beautiful resolution with amazing backgrounds, colors are stunning and the lens really is fast. It's a very small lens - lightweight and feels less than impressive but wow-can it take a reat photo!

I also bought this product for color production and have been pleased with the result. However, I'm not printing photos on specialty paper so I do t k ow how it would perform in that way. Also, I don't have any comparison experience.
