Thank You ClubSNAP - I Just bought the Canon 450D

here is another try on the kit lens.

click to for enlarge view.

i noticed when i view in full, the image do not looks sharp.
but when i reduce the image to 1/4, it seems not bad.

and i just find out that CS is able to upload images ;p

When you mean "view in full" are you talking about zooming in at 100% magnification in Photoshop?

lucky i did not trade-in my kit-lens for $50......your picture looked so sharp & clear - thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

The 18-55 IS is definately a stellar performer. $50 is definately not the price for such a lens! This lens retails for around $150-200 on the 2nd hand market...

Why don't we let him answer. That is also my interpretation but it may not be his.

err ... i attached to tripod and used a remote to focus and snap the shot leh
but my background/environment is not very bright, as it is shoot at night after work in my living room.

Look at the Center portion of the picture, near the D. That is the most obvious part that is in focus and sharp. Edge to edge sharpness across the frame is not possible here as the lens was held close to the subject and it was handheld.

CS has 200k file size limit.
The original file size is 4.2mb.
Here is same photo i upload to another site, although i upload the original file, think the website shrink the file size. but can save the image file and still able to read the exif info.

Dude....
This photo looks perfectly sharp to me, blown up to the max size CS allows. Either you're viewing at a much higher magnification, or it's time to visit your family optician.

Yes view 100% in XP

and thanks to all for those positive feedbacks on the sharpness.
by the way the earlier smaller image is shrink down 25% simply by using MS Paint without any editing or cropping at all

I believe Kit lens can take relatively good photos too.
will try to learn more using kit lens before moving on to better lens.

this forum is really great help to newbies like me.
