Index of Nikon Coolpix P100 Expert Reviews

ePhotozine—“There are many megazoom compacts on the market and the image-quality problems we’ve described here are common to many of them – not just the Coolpix P100. There are always compromises associated with cramming a feature set like this into a tiny body, and that’s the choice you make when you buy such a camera. The P100 offers an amazing amount of features and is a very enjoyable camera to use. You can do a lot with it and it should appeal to the gadget fan who is more into specification than pixel-peeping.”
CNET—“The Nikon Coolpix P100 is one of those cameras that consumers will love for all that it can do or hate because one of those things isn’t taking superb photos. If it was going to be someone’s primary camera, I would say pass. Those interested in experimentation and want a lot of settings to play with, and a really long lens, but aren’t as concerned about getting the best quality photos and video in return, will likely be thrilled. ”

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:55:01 +0000

The powerful zoom of the DMC-ZS5can be freely controlled even when shooting motion images. Inheriting the fine rendering and outstanding quality of the Leica Elmar lens, this easy-to-carry camera delivers beautiful images any time, any place.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5

Index of Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5 Expert Reviews

PhotographyBlog—“The Lumix DMC-TZ8 is a solid addition to Panasonic’s travel-zoom camera lineup, but we’d rather save up some extra pennies for its more accomplished bigger brother, the TZ10, which additionally offers GPS tracking, a better LCD screen and AVCHD movies with stereo sound.”
TechRadar—“The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 is a very likeable and stylish compact that bends over backwards to help you get good shots. The lens is a real winner. It’s also very easy to record high quality HD movies. SLR users seeking a back-up compact might find its restrictions and usability quirks frustrating, though.”
Pocket-lint—“Panasonic pitch the Lumix DMC-TZ8 as an ideal travel companion and for many it will be. The combination of creative control through the manual settings, the wide zoom range and HD video capture make it a good all-rounder. The performance and image quality impress too.”

Samsung NX10 Ratings and Reviews

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:50:11 +0000

The Samsung NX10 is an interchangeable-lens model that’s slightly less bulky than a DSLR, offering a 14.6-megapixel APS-C-size CMOS sensor that’s significantly larger than the sensors found in Micro Four-Thirds system cameras from Panasonic and Olympus. The NX10 has the ability to shoot 720p HD video as MPEG-4 files at 30 frames per second.

There’s nothing more satisfying than taking great pictures! And with the Canon PowerShot A3100 IS, it’s so effortless. The 12.1-megapixel resolution and 4x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer ensure radiant, detailed images. Plus, you’ve got an advanced DIGIC III Image Processor with evolved Face Detection Technology and the Face Detection Self-timer for extraordinary control and performance.

Index of Canon PowerShot A3100 IS Expert Reviews

DigitalCameraInfo—“If you’re unbothered by the lack of HD video, the A3100 is a superb camera for the money. Spend a little more and you’ll get a more impressive lens and HD video, but for most casual snappers the A3100 is all the camera you’ll need.”
CNET UK—”The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS makes a good first impression. It looks smart and has clear, straightforward controls. But the 4x zoom is both slightly limited and not very good, and neither the technology nor the results justify the price. Canon needs to make the A3100 cheaper or better, or both.”

Casio Exilim EX-G1 Ratings and Reviews

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:31:26 +0000

The Casio Exilim EX-G1 shock-resistant, waterproof, dustproof digital camera is the first in the company’s new Exilim G brand of digital cameras. With its smart design featuring functional beauty, the EX-G1 embodies Casio’s endurance-minded features and specifications in a sleek 0.78-inch low-profile camera.

Casio Exilim EX-G1

Index of Casio Exilim EX-G1 Expert Reviews

DigitalCameraInfo—“The Exilim EX-G1 is a small, stylish and tough camera: it is just 0.78 inches thick, but can take images at up to 33 feet down, and at temperatures of down to 14 degrees farenheight (about -10 celsisus). But these good looks don’t carry over to the images: we found that while they had low noise, they were very soft. Especially at the edge of the frame, where sharp edges turned into blurry messes and fine details just weren’t captured. ”
CNET Reviews—”The good: Rugged construction; low shutter lag. The bad: Photo quality is merely OK; long shot-to-shot times; slightly over-designed. The bottom line: The Casio Exilim EX-G1 is a good snapshot camera built to take a beating, but its photos and shooting features are nothing special.”

Pocket-lint—”If having a camera that will take punishment without breaking is a higher priority than anything else, the Casio Ex-G1 is worth considering – and, again, have we mentioned how cool it looks? – but, in a more sober light, there are better overall options out there.”
PhotographyBlog—”Ultimately where the EX-G1 is a letdown is as regards the wildly variable quality of its images – it’s too inconsistent a performer to rate highly. Photos at times looking like ‘grabs’ from camcorder footage with a very obvious digital look and feel.”

Panasonic has announced the Lumix DMC-G2, the successor to the DMC-G1, the first Micro Four Thirds camera with touch control shooting. It arrives with the same body design as the G1 and it features 720p HD videos in AVCHD Lite format, touch sensitive 460K dot 3.0″ LCD, AF tracking, dedicated movie mode and a faster Venus Engine HD II processor.

Panasonic DMC-G2

Index of Panasonic DMC-G2 Expert Reviews

TrustedReviews—“the Panasonic G2 is a superb all-round shooter that, when combined with the growing range of Micro Four Thirds lenses, will be more than adequate for the majority of users. ”
CNET Australia—”Given the overall aesthetic similarities to the G1, the main selling point of the new camera will be the touchscreen and HD video recording. Those photographers looking for a more compact, non-dSLR style take on the Micro Four Thirds format will most likely be lured by the Olympus Pen offerings, or wait for the GF2. “

Sony CyberShot DSC TX7

Index of Sony CyberShot DSC TX7 Expert Reviews

Goodgearguide—“Despite some comfort issues with its design, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a capable of capturing vibrant colours and deep blacks, and its high ISO performance is not too bad either. It will suit travellers who want a hybrid camera with which to take high-def video as well as still photos. It’s worth noting that Sony has finally warmed to the SD card format; this camera has a slot that can accommodate both SD and Memory Stick Pro DUO formats.”
TechTree—”The Sony DSC-TX7 is priced at Rs. 22,900, which is quite expensive. But for that kind of money you do get a camera with super slim design and rugged build quality with a wonderful touchscreen display. More importantly the quality of the images and the videos is really good, not something that you expect from a compact camera. There are no really major cons as such with the camera, except for the price. But if you can afford it and more importantly you want a slim and pocketable camera, then the Sony TX7 is the one to go for. “

DigitalCameraInfo—”If you’re looking to take snaps of fun in the sun and sand, the Z33WP is a good, cheap pick. But if you are doing any serious diving, climbing or spelunking, you might want to spend more on a camera that can go deeper, colder and take better pictures.”

Leica D-Lux 4 Ratings and Reviews

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:05:08 +0000

The compact nature of the D-Lux 4 means it can be with you all the time. But despite its compact size, it offers top Leica quality and gives the photographer plenty of artistic freedom. The D-Lux 4 is ideal, whether for subjects composed with lots of forethought or for spontaneous reportage.

Leica D-Lux 4

Index of Leica D-Lux 4 Expert Reviews

TrustedReviews—“The Leica D-Lux 4 is the ultimate luxury compact camera. It is extremely expensive, and some of that price is paying for the legendary Leica name, but nonetheless is is a superb camera, with a simple but classically beautiful design as well as outstanding build quality, handling, performance and image quality. It may be a Panasonic LX3 in all but name, but for some that name is worth paying for.”
GoodGearGuide—”Overall, the Leica D-LUX 4 compact digital camera is a very nice piece of kit. It looks very stylish, and it takes clear and neutral-looking photos. It has good speed, plenty of manual settings, and its scene modes are very useful. However, you do have forego a sizable chunk of your income to procure it. “

What Digital Camera—”Stylish, compact, and capable of yielding impressive results, the D-Lux 4 is a joy to use for the most part. Some of the smaller yet still powerful features – such as 1:1 ratio shooting – will see traditionalists kept happy, and the 24mm wideangle lens is of excellent quality. On-camera switches, toggles and buttons mean it’s simple to use. The only major issue is the price tag, but then if you want that designer red dot on your camera you’ll have to take the bite from the bank.”
CrunchGear—“I was quite impressed with this camera and if Leica and Panasonic want to swap everything down to the button placement on the back more power too them. The D-LUX 4 is a gateway drug and anyone who has used an M8 will attest that when you use Leica glass on a Leica body you get some amazing shots.”
DPExpert—“Eagle-eyed readers will have noted that all the forgoing is the same as for the Panasonic Lumix LX-3. They are virtually identical cameras. Only the body shape is different. Oh, and the price! $829 for the Panasonic and $1650 for the Leica.”

Nikon D90 VS Canon EOS Rebel T2i

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:02:43 +0000

Nikon D90 or Canon EOS Rebel T2i?—By shhyoudontknowme
I’m buying a new camera! doing some research
nikon or canon?

thank you in advance!!

Best Answer —By Whitley
Both cameras are supremely high-end DSLR cameras. If you are not too keen on using the latest technology, perhaps you can opt for the Nikon D90 which is a slightly dated as it is first introduced around 20 months ago. Although the Canon T2i is slightly more expensive than the D90 (around $150), it is part of the famous Canon Rebel series and was introduced to market just a month ago.

the Canon EOS Rebel T2i boosts of an incredible 18 MP, large 3.0-Inch LCD, light sensitivity of ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800 for shooting from bright to dim light), DIGIC 4 image processor (latest offering from Canon, among other latest-technology features. I reckon you should go for Canon because the Rebel series is extremely popular and established among DSLR camera users. In addition, as you are getting the newest technology available now, it means that you need not change your camera any time soon.

difference of canon 50 / 1.8 II and canon 50 / 1.4 usm

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:54:15 +0000

What is the difference between this two lenses, the canon 50 / 1.8 II and the canon 50 / 1.4 usm?—By amethysttt
I already own a canon 28-135 lens that came with my 40d canon. I’m ready to buy a second lense but I want it to be perfect for studio portraits only. I heard the canon 50 / 1.8 is good enough. I need advise which of this two lenses would a portrait photographer recommend?

Best Answer —By Nick P
When you are shooting studio portraits with your 28-135 lens, are you always set on or near the 50mm mark? If so, what do you consider a portrait? When I shoot portraits, they are usually one person photographed with their head filling most of the screen. Say about a few inches below their shoulders to the top of their head. Plus a couple inches on top of their head. (so as not to “cut off” their head).
If you shoot portraits like I do and most other photographer’s, the last thing you need for portraiture is a 50mm lens.
The most flattering portraits are done with a 135mm. Why? Because the longer the lens the more compressed the faces look. That helps with people that have large noses and big ears. And a 135mm lens helps with the ladies who are vanity prone.
I just went to the canon web site: www.canonusa.com and briefly looked at the lenses and their descriptions. The canon 100mm was described as “the background blur is ideal for portraits”. Notice this goes against my advise of using 135mm. But it is twice the focal length you intend to use. I have not used the 100mm lens that Canon recommends. There are other Canon lenses that are recommended for portraiture. I just saw 135mm “soft-focus” lens, which I would like over the previous mentioned 100mm. I think you need to study the Canon lenses and their descriptions and see how they measure up to the way YOU take pictures. Your are the one that has to be pleased and if you are going to sell your work, you have to equip yourself to match most of your clients. If it was my choice and my clients were young smooth faced for the most part I would go the 100mm. But if your clients are old (with wrinkles and other facial parts they don’t to see themselves with) get a 135mm.
Notice I said get 135mm. You don’t have to get the most expensive lens, just a longer focal length You can fudge by using a soft focus filter. Oh, and go to the library and get a book on portraiture and get another view on this subject. Remember the more flaws, the more expensive retouching is going to be.
