Good camera, but I see purple as well
( - 5/25/05)I just picked this camera up few days ago, upgrade from my OLD 3+ year old F707 (which I loved, had a freak accident...still functions, but not the same)
Anyway, I am still learning some of the new features..the grip and heavy more bulky feel to this, not used to that part..not a big deal
The photos i have shot in 3, 5MP are good..use those for web-viewing and unimportant shots. I like the fact the Nightvision is now on the flash and NOT the lens like the old F707/717. So I am able to use my wide angle, Fisheye, variety of other filters without the IR reflection.
But I DO SEE THE PURPLE that is mentioned here...that is bugging me as I zoom in too 100% in 8MP..it's obvious and I never saw this on the older camera
Seems my 'purple outline' is coming off as a slight shadow like effect outlining the top-left of almost all edges. Much more noticeable when I shoot greenery like trees, used the macro of some flowers/leafs as I tested this this past weekend. I have to try and print on my photo-printer..see if that shows up.
Ugh..something as small as that and dropping the money you do on this you want the best!
I haven't even tried TIFF/RAW mode yet, maybe that could make a difference??
