Discover Which is the Best Pocket Digital Camera Available

December 30th, 2011

There are so many things to consider as you scour the different online camera resources.

Let me put your mind at ease on the issue of megapixels. Although the sensor size is always one of the first things we look at when considering a new camera, whether it has 14 megapixels or 7 megapixels is not going to affect the quality of most photos you take. You can print a huge photo from a 7 megapixel photo just as you can from a 14 megapixel camera. So don't fret over a few megapixels (even though I will mention how many each camera has).

The Best Small Digital Camera For the Money

December 25th, 2011

For some time now I've been looking for the best small digital camera. I wanted a point and shoot, to carry around when I don't have the Nikon D80 with me. I wanted something small, with image stabilization, optical zoom, plus very good shutter speed.

In the end, after all the research I've done I decided to go either with the Canon SD 870, 850 IS or the G9. They all take very good photos, crispy and light, with a good IS. You can even zoom in and the images will still be sharp. If you take those photos at ISO 400, they will end up with less noise or the same noise as a D80.

December 14th, 2011

Super telephoto zoom lenses make the heart's "pitter-pat" speed up just a little. We are referring to a lens that has a focal length on the long end of more than 300mm. Thus, you can get up close and personal with just about any subject, even some critters that are very skittish and not at all social.

Compare that price to the most popular Canon lens in the same focal length arena, the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L which tips the economic scales at more the .5K and you have a real bargain.

Nikon Coolpix P7000 Review and Comparison to the Canon Powershot G11/12 and the Panasonic LX5

December 9th, 2011

The Nikon Coolpix P7000 is Nikon's offering in the 'prosumer' market challenging the Canon Powershot G11/G12 and the LX5 from Panasonic that currently lead the high end compact camera segment.

The P7000 has a 10.1 megapixel sensor with ability to shoot 720p HD video along with a jack for an external microphone. The cameras also allows continuous auto focus and zoom while recording giving the user higher creative flexibility especially while shooting people and moving objects. Unlike most compact cameras it allows you to shoot photos in RAW mode which gives the user greatest flexibility for processing pictures in a photo editing software after the pictures has been taken. This feature is usually found in the digital SLR cameras. Complimenting this impressive feature set is the 7.1x zoom (28-200mm equivalent focal length) with an aperture range from f2.8 to f5.6. The camera also has an HDMI output allowing for playing the video directly onto your HDTV or computer.

Best Kit Lens Upgrade – This Lens is the Best to Upgrade To

December 8th, 2011

If you have recently bought a new digital SLR camera you may be somewhat under whelmed by the results you are getting from the 18-55mm kit lens that came bundled with your camera.

Historically SLR cameras used to come bundled with what are know as prime lenses. These are basically lenses with a fixed focal length, or without a zoom. In recent years camera manufacturers had more success selling their entry level SLR cameras bundled with a zoom lens. For inexperienced photographer the appeal of a zoom is obvious as they appear to be much more flexible than a fixed prime lens. The result is that kit lenses these days tend to be very average in terms of optics.
