Fuji's FinePix S3100 is one of the best cameras out there, and is a very hot seller. The camera can take great pictures that are still of high quality even when enlarged, though only when operated correctly. Though, this is not a camera that is usable by anyone. This camera is not recommended for beginners, and is strongly recommended for advanced photographers. The camera must be on for about three seconds (which is referred to as warm-up), with the memory card inside, before one can take see the object they want to photograph. As users inside a larger (higher memory) card, the problem only becomes worse. The camera works similarly as many of the very expensive SLR cameras. What you view through the camera is actually coming through the lens, but actually on a screen on the inside. Many people with glasses even claim that this useful, and makes looking through the camera much easier. You can also click a button on the camera and instead have the image shown on the 1.5" LCD screen.
Many cameras that have automatic exposure as well as focus require the user to click the shutter button down somewhat and then wait before clicking to take the photo. If they do so, the picture taken will usually be of low quality (blurry usually). On another note, the image on the LCD tends to freeze while the camera is being adjusted. Many users find this a problem because what they wanted to take a picture of originally may not be in the same position as it was when they wanted to take the picture. It is only a few seconds "lag", but to users makes a world of difference. Due to this, it is not the best camera for those taking action shots. The auto-focus, although is never perfect, is not the best on this camera. Users have claimed that many photos turn out blurry despite claiming to have auto-focus. This SLR camera comes with a very detailed manual, and if one follows it properly, they can likely overcome many of the problems mentioned here.
It is not an extremely small camera, thus it is not good for someone who wants something to be able to slide into their pocket. Nonetheless, it is easy to carry around, and is not heavy. The camera has a 6x optical zoom future, which is almost double what many other cameras offer. Although, with this comes a bit less of a wide angle ability with the camera. Users also have the option of choosing from two conversion lenses that make the images clear (keep in mind, these are very expensive). On the actual camera, the user can choose one out of 3 sharpness levels, and there is also five quality settings. There are also four scene modes (portrait, night, etc...). Options such as red-eye reduction are available for users to choose from. The camera is quite a good one, but is recommended for those with some degree of photography experience.
Getting [http://gooddigitalcameras.com]the perfect Fuji SLR camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the Fuji DSLR camera with all the [http://cameraproblems.com]features important to you.

Today we're looking at one of the hottest cameras announced early January at the annual CES event. It came from the Sony booth and is part of the T series family which are the ultra compact point and shoot cameras. Characteristics of the CyberShot T series is that they are all high end cameras with a thin body and a sliding cover in front of the Carl Zeiss lens. They also wear a heavy price-tag and unfortunately the camera we're discussing today is no different. With a price-tag of $400 and a 2010 February release date, I'm of course talking about the Sony CyberShot TX7.
What's in the box
The CyberShot TX7 is packed like you're used to with Sony products. The packaging is very small and has the essentials printed on it. Surprisingly the blue version is shown on all boxes, it's not dependent on the color of the model inside. The first things you're going to see are the manual, a registration paper and a advert for additional accessories including the party-shot dock. After that you finally get to see the camera you've been reading so much about. The Sony TX7 immediately draws attention to itself for its slim and premium design, more on that later. Sony was quite generous on the cable side of things. You get an AC cable for charging, a USB cable and a Stereo audio cable for connecting your dock with a stereo system, but HD people will mention that sound can be transferred through a HDMI cable so this particular cable will probably not be used much.
An HDMI cable is absent so you will have to buy one of those if you want to connect your camera directly to your tv. Also absent is a DC cable, so the dock can't be used as a charger right out of the box, I was a little disappointed by that. And I have to say I was moderately surprised that a wristband and an Exmor R mention were attached to the camera right out of the box. After removing both I was all ready to insert the included battery (a really small battery, new generation not found in the previous T cameras) and a SD memory card. Yes The Sony CyberShot TX7 is the first to support not only memory pro duo but also SD and SDHC.
There was one more thing in the box. A little pen you can control the touchscreen with. I don't think anybody will want to use it but it deserves a mention nevertheless for the fans. One circumstance the pen can really shine is when you're using the drawing features on the camera. And that's all you will find in the box. Apart from an HDMI cable and a DC cable, pretty much everything you can wish for is there.
Design
The first thing you're going to notice when glancing at the TX7 is the slim aluminum design. Its all brushed aluminum and with the lens cover up, the only two things that pop are the Sony and CyberShot logos. Everything that could possibly distract you from the minimalistic design are hidden behind the lens cover. It's interesting to see that Sony has opted to change some of the little body features that the TX1 and T900 had. For one the Sony logo is now in the middle and the CyberShot name has been removed from the cover to the lower body. Also gone is the curve in the lens cover which made the older models look like the cover was actually going all the way to the back of the device. With the cover down things still look relatively clean. The lens is on the left side with the flash right beside it. The stereo microphones are placed slightly to the right.
Moving to the back. It's almost all display, edge to edge. There are almost no buttons as the camera is controlled by the 3.5" touchscreen. Sony has done a terrific job getting rid of the wide edges around the screen. On the right edge they have placed a small metal ring where you can attach your wrist band to. Compared to previous T series cameras the metal ring is now really small which is great. Some people might prefer the longer wider wristband attachment though because it allowed them to hold their thumb on it to get that extra stability. Sony also added one extra button which is a dedicated Movie/photo button. Besides that you get the same buttons that TX1 users have. The on/off button (you can also turn on the device by sliding the lens cover), the shutter release, a play button for showing your photos and last but not least a zoom rocker.
I do have one remark about the design: Why so much technical branding? Beside the lens Sony printed a lot of technical terms some of which we didn't even understand. On the top it says: HDavchd, which is one of the video formats it can record to and just above the touchscreen you will be reminded that this camera has the new Exmor R sensor. Maybe they added the info to help impulsive buyers. The house dad that bought a new camera because it looked shiny and then comes home and says: 'look dear, I bought this camera which has an Exmor R and a optical steady shot. I guess it's really good.'
Yeah well don't always judge a book by its covers. Luckily the branding isn't that annoying especially when you compare it the amount of every other camera on the market. But I would applaud the company that manages to release a camera without any branding (apart from company logo and camera series). Maybe it's just impossible because of the rights and patents or something.
The overall design of the Sony CyberShot TX7 is amazing. It's looks so clean for a digital camera. Believe me this camera will turn heads and people won't immediately recognize it as a digital camera. Which is great because the point and shoot products and SLRs are not known for their design. Also think of the benefits like when you want to take pictures of your high school sweetheart before you actually asked her out or something like that.
Ease of use
For this part of the review I wanted not only my opinion but also those of a few people around me. But first I want to mention that I quickly found the patterns in the controls which made it an easy ride for me. On the left and right side you see a lot of icons indicating modes that are active at that particular moment. For example when you've activated the panorama mode a little icon on the left side will notify you of this. If you want to change to a different mode simply click on the panorama logo and select the mode that best suits your needs. Options are: twilight (6 shots becoming 1, ideal for low light), 10fps burst mode (10 shots in a second, ideal for fast moving objects), Panorama (sweep to make, ideal for landscapes) and HDR mode (2 pictures with different settings, ideal for high contrast photos).
The Sony TX7 perfectly implemented this system in all of its controls. Click on the timer to set a timer, click on the menu button to access the preferences etc. For me at first I was skeptical of the new dedicated movie/photo button. I thought it was a waste of space as you can also switch modes using the touchscreen. But as I started shooting photographs and movies I found myself reaching for the button a lot. It's just a whole lot easier and quicker somehow to use the physical button for switching between the video and photo functionality.
Sony has done a great job with the TX7 on the ease of use department. The buttons on the left side and right side aren't just buttons, they're also indicators of the modes and settings you have selected for that particular shot. The dedicated buttons (shutter, zoom, video/photo and show gallery) are really the bare essentials and things you always want to have in reach. Not everything is perfect though. For one the touchscreen is good but not great. The iPhone will beat it with its capacitive touchscreen and multi-touch. And secondly there's no way to see which settings you have used once the photo is taken. It would be great if you could hit the little info button and get all the information you got while you were taken the picture.
Now I showed the camera to a couple of passers by, you know mom, grandma, aunt, and asked them for their honest opinion. They all said that the camera was very easy to use. The icons were clear and the few buttons made the Sony TX7 one of the few cameras that don't intimidate the users. Unlike the Panasonic Lumix TS1, which rumors say scared Bill Gates once. So it seems that the device is easy to use for both tech geeks like myself and regular folks.
Specs and features
The Sony Cybershot TX7 comes with all the latest technology from Sony. The modes includes: smile mode (camera takes a photo when subject smiles), face detection, panorama, 10fps burst, twilight and much more. The auto mode is going to be the mode most users leave it at. In that mode the camera automatically detects whether you're attempting a macro shot, twilight or any other shot. It also knows when it's on a tripod, which is really cool.
Image quality
Overall the pictures this point and shoot can produce are quite good. With its wide angle lens (25mm) landscapes photos are a please to make and look at. But I did notice a touch of softness in the edges. And because the camera tries to keep noise down, some sharpness goes lost in the process. Colors are realistic but some users may not like it because they aren't really as vivid as some other compacts on the market. But for me I prefer a more realistic look to the "Disney" feel that has become really popular these days.
The panorama shots are great, a real plus. They always work, I've shot 10 so far and all 10 were flawless. Of course sometimes a small stitching error is made but given the ease of use I can hardly complain. Twilight mode is another thing users may want to experiment with. In this mode the camera takes 6 shots and compares them to create the ultimate photo. It works because in this mode low light pictures are considerably sharper and have less noise. HDR mode is the last one I'm going to talk about in this review.
Here the camera attempts to make a photo with lots of counter light. Imagine a tree with the sun behind it shining in your camera. In a normal situation the tree will be black with a big yellow dot behind it, right? Well in HDR mode the camera attempts to photograph the tree without any loss of tree details. So instead of a black tree, you get a brown tree with some nice textures on it. Surprisingly this mode works outstanding. I say surprisingly because these types of shots could only be managed my $1500+ SLR cameras in the past, that is until today because the Sony TX7 handles them with ease.
Conclusion
Sony has delivered a stunning camera with the release of the Cybershot TX7. It's a very compact device that you can take with you everywhere. It looks great from every angle and most people seem to agree because this camera is a real head turner. The touchscreen is pretty responsive (almost iPhone like, but not quite) and the different modes and options are easy to find. So the camera is very easy to use. Picture quality is good but not SLR like. The image can be a bit soft but the TX7 does a great job keeping noise away and making really good photos in a very short time. Video recording of this cam is superb. It's the best I've ever seen and I still can't believe all that is coming from such a small device.
So I recommend the Sony Cybershot TX7 to people who want a good looking small compact camera that takes really good pictures. You won't be disappointed, just don't expect SLR quality. [http://www.robinchung.com/articles/articles/reviews/sonytx7/sonycybershottx7review.html]Sony tx7 review

Just because it is a professional camera, that does not mean that an amateur can not use it. You just have to know a few key points of the camera to get you started.
First of all, what does SLR in Canon Digital SLR camera stand for? SLR stands for single lens reflex.

Canon is among the A-grade international companies that manufacture and deliver optical and imaging products and services to different countries across the world. The quality assurance by Canon makes it an excellence brand to be considered. The Canon Powershot is a range of digital cameras that was launched way back in the year 1995.
It gradually proved to rank among the top selling digital cameras worldwide. The brand has got some distinct series that segregate the camera types according to the incorporated features, and related functioning. It has got the same craze among the customers, both new and old, as it had inflicted during its launch about 14 years ago.
The different series of the Canon Powershot are discussed frequently by the camera lovers. The A-series is for those folks who use their camera sets casually and have limited budgets. It's more like 'fun' things. The major buyers are the teenagers.
The D-series is popular too. It is a waterproof camera, so you can even dive with it in a swimming pool! The shock and dust resistant camera makes it a uniquely designed set that everyone is mad about, and resultantly generates huge revenues for Canon.
The E-series Powershot cameras from Canon are also moderately priced sets. These are primarily design oriented. The conventional shapes and patterns are fairly altered and these cameras do have unique appearances. They get hold of your attention at first sight and truly are adorable possessions.
The G-series of Canon Powershot includes cameras that have more advanced features than the previously mentioned categories. They are the flagship cameras of Canon. The S/SD series of the Powershot is all concerned about the style and the performance, and mostly used by professional photographers in various endeavors. The S/SX Powershot series have the exciting facility of ultra zooming and is highly recommended for the wildlife photographers who deal with the most difficult genre of photography.
If any person asks about my choice of digital cameras, then it has to be the Canon Powershot. It is sleek, looks smart, has nice features, obviously very portable, and takes great pictures without any extra effort. What more can one asks for? Moreover, the blurred images are corrected automatically by the applications of these cameras, which a real exciting feature incorporated in these beautiful devices.
The Powershot from Canon is a priced possession and also reflects one's style statement. There is no reason to go for other brands when one has the excellent option of becoming a proud owner of a Powershot.

If you're on the look out for a new digital camcorder then you need to know what type of features to look for. It's easy to get confused and hard to make sense of all the specifications. Looking for the right features is the key in finding the best camcorder for your needs. While you compare digital camcorder reviews and ratings, there are some items to consider.
You should have a general idea of what you need the mini dv camcorder for. Do you need a video camera for home movies? Or are you looking for a professional camcorder, for your next feature film? Think about what you are looking for so your camcorder comparison shopping won't take as long.
Zoom
All digital camcorders have a zoom feature. Older analog camcorders only had optical zoom, but new digital video cameras have both optical and digital zoom. There is a difference between these two types of zoom. Optical zoom physically lengthens the lens,and will still give your videos high image quality. However digital zoom basically blows up the scene in a digital format. The problem with digital zoom is that when you zoom in on a subject the video becomes pixilated and blocky with little squares giving the video a blurred and distorted look.
If you're wondering which zoom is better and more important, optical zoom. The more distance that your optical zoom can do, the more flexibility that you have when focusing in on a subject. I suggest a minimum of 10x optical zoom for most consumers.
CCD Sensors and Resolution
The video quality in a dv camcorder is dependant on the CCD, which is an abbreviation for charged-coupled device. The CCD is an image sensor that converts light into pixels to produce images; your digital camera works in the same way. You can find camcorders with one CCD or three CCDs. One CCD camcorders are less costly however you will compromise the color quality in the video. 3 CCD camcorders on the other hand provide the best color quality. The reason being is that there are 3 CCDs. Digital camcorder models with three CCDs (one each for red, green and blue) give your video the most vivid colors possible, but the price is more than 1 CCD video cameras.
Viewfinders & LCD Screens
It's important to find the best possible viewfinder when comparing camcorders. The viewfinder is the heart of the camcorder without it you can't see what you are filming. Viewfinders cam in black and white, if you buy a cheap camcorder you will be stuck with a black and white screen. Personally I like my color screen, you can see the exact color and video quality as it will appear in the video. Sizes for LCD screen range from 2 to 4 inches across.
Digital Video Editing & Still images
Almost all newer digital video camcorders have FireWire (IEEE 1394). This feature enables you to transfer digital video footage from your camcorder to your computer system in the fastest possible way. The newest models even have the ability to take digital still images and video and transfer them to your computer for emailing to friends and family.

If you've been considering the move into digital SLR photography, and anybody that's put up with the limitations of a simple point and shoot for more than a couple of years should be, than the Canon Rebel line of cameras should become a vital part of your lexicon. If it hasn't, then it's about to be.
The Canon Rebel line of digital SLR cameras are often classified as entry level SLRs. That title, may have somewhat of a negative connotation for anyone who believes in buying quality electronics. Nothing could be further from the truth. While it's true, that Canon (or Nikon or others) have the camera models that are more than capable of stretching your budget into the many thousands of dollars, there's not necessarily a reason to do so.
Canons latest top the the line Rebel, (the t1i) due to be released to the street in May of 2009 sells for around $900 including a pretty good kit lens. While that's not cheap for the average digital camera, this is not an average digital camera. When I remember spending $1000 for my first compact digital camera like 6 years ago, I get a little queasy. This sucker is a 15.1 megapixel camera, an image sensor from the much more expensive 50D, HD (1080P / 720P) video capture, live view, dust removal, and a DIGIC 4 processor. A first time SLR buyer would be happy with this camera for a long time.
Even if $900 is too steep for your budget, the nice thing, is that you can still find the older Rebel cameras going back to the XT for sale, with almost as many features, for even less money. Some used, and some new, but you can find the Rebel XT, XTi, and XSi, and XS for as low as $450 brand new.
Getting [http://gooddigitalcameras.com]the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the [http://cameraproblems.com]features important to you.

As you are probably aware, the single-digit camera names (i.e. 5D Mark II) have been full-frame, so there was some concern that this new APC-S release would not have the same image quality as, say, the 5D, but the critics have not found that to be true.
On top of that the feature set rivals that of its full-frame brothers. Speaking of which, here is a brief list of some of the features that make this an excellent choice for your next DSLR:
18 megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor
3.0" LCD with 920,000 pixel resolution
Dual DIGIC 4 processors for faster performance
ISO speed of 100-6400 with excellent noise control in low light photos

1080p HD video recording with an external microphone port
19 point Auto Focus system
8 fps (frames per second) continuous burst speed, even when capturing images in RAW with 14-bit detail
To sweeten the pot, this camera is built like a tank. When you hold it, you really feel like you are holding something substantial. It also is weather sealed for protection against intrusion of water and high humidity.
Even though this little gem fits the semi-pro DSLR category, it performs like a pro!
When your new Canon EOS 7D 18-Megapixel Camera arrives at your door, of course, the first thing you will do is shoot a few shots to get the feel of it. However, the next thing you need to do is to read the manual. Yes, it is long at about 250 pages, but it is packed with information and hints about your new toy that you may not even be aware of.

Somewhere, someone decided that there was a gap between the fairly inexpensive point and shoot automatic digital cameras, and the somewhat more sophisticated digital SLR cameras used by many professional photographers. That biggest feature separating the two cameras was lens zoom. Hence, was born the ultra zoom, or extended zoom digital cameras. They're a little bigger to carry around, but usually sport significantly improved lenses over the compact and ultra compact point and shoots. In addition, they don't require lugging around a case of supporting gear around, like many of the SLR cameras do.
Featuring upwards of 20X optical zoom, these are impressive cameras, and can be the perfect camera for certain situations. Like when you show up late for the wedding, and get stuck in the back pews. With these cameras you'll be able to still get great shots of the bride and grooms big kiss, without being mistaken for the official wedding photographer. As a general note for all these cameras, image stabilization is a gotta-have, unless you happen to have the rock steady hands of a surgeon.
Panasonic Lumix FZ28
This Panasonic model features an 18X zoom lens, and goes for around $350 or less. the IA (intelligent auto) setting works quite well. The auto settings are important for many photographers this camera targets as manual tweaking is generally not something a lot of casual photographers do. Of course, for those who like to make adjustments, the option is there. The LCD is a nice sized 2.7 inches. The zoom control seems to be opposite of what I would have expected, but after spending a little time with it, I'm sure most people get used to it.
Canon Powershot SX10 IS
Canon is one of my personal favorite brands, and this camera is one of the reasons why. This Canon is comparable in price (around $350) to the previously reviewed Panasonic Lumix, but with 20X zoom, instead of just 18. Even a few die hard SLR owners I've hear from, swear from this camera. A lens range of 28-560mm is nothing to sneeze at. Especially with the clarity, and noise free pictures produced by this camera, even at higher ISO settings. You can of course, get better clarity and image sharpness with a good SLR, but your also going to spend at least double the price to get there. Not to mention haul a lot more gear around for a SLR. The other nice thing about this camera, is the ability to capture video files, even if they are in the somewhat more obscure .mov Apple format.
Olympus SP-565 UZ
You should be able to find this Olympus for under $300 these days. Which is pretty good, when you consider the quality of the 20X zoom lens that comes with it. Some would argue, that is the successor to the somewhat botched Olympus SP565UZ. It's a much better camera, a little bit lighter, and includes both an auto zoom and auto focus feature. The zoom is a joy to work with, and the somewhat advance features of face recognition, and shadow adjustments work as advertised. It's got a cool feature call pre-capture, that I suppose, is the poor mans answer to burst mode offered by many high priced SLRs. It basically allows you to capture up to 10 photos in rapid succession, and then choose the ones you want to keep.

The Panasonic 1080p plasma series is one of the most popular lines of plasma TVs on the market today. They come with increased contrast ratios for deep blacks and appealing shadow detail. In addition these Panasonic 1080p plasma models offer a smooth picture and vivid colors that will appeal to movie lovers, sports fans and HDTV viewers alike.
If you are in the market for a new plasma then you have probably looked at several models and may very well be confused by all of the different makes and models. I will try to break down the basic differences between models in the Panasonic 1080p plasma Viera series.
Lets take a look at the model numbers. A typical Panasonic Viera plasma model is TH-xxPZ80U. There are several things to look at in order to understand the model number.
1. TH-xxPZ80U - The xx will represent the size of the TV (for example 50PZ80U will be a 50" model). Sizes range from as small as 42 inches and go up to 65 inches in the top of the line model.
2. TH-xxPZ80U - The PZ indicates that this is a 1080p model. Panasonic does also offer a 720p model, but that would be indicated by a PX.
3. TH-xxPZ80U - This is where it starts to get even a bit more confusing. These indicate the individual attributes and feature sets of each model with a good 80U, better 85U, even better 800U, and best (at least until they come up with an even better model) 850U.
So lets dig in a little deeper and check out the attributes and features of the different models.
80U - This is the base model. Of course these will be the least expensive of the models and include all the basics that give the Panasonic 1080p plasma TVs such a great reputation. They come with a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, 2 speakers and 3 HDMI inputs.
85U - The next step up in the model lines adds additional contrast ratio taking it up to 30,000:1 and add an input for PC connection.
800U - The next step up makes several additions such as 24p support and an additional HDMI input as well as THX certification. Other considerations are the addition of 2 more speakers for a higher quality sound, although if you connect your TV through an audio video receiver then you more then likely will not even use your TVs speakers. The 800U models also come with a swivel base which may be beneficial to those who do not choose to wall mount their plasma.
850U - The 850U represents the top of the line model by adding additional shades of color gradation as well as pro setting menus and a studio reference mode.
Hopefully that gives a bit of clarity to the Panasonic 1080p plasma Viera series. There is sure to be a size and feature set that suits a wide range of budgets. So if you are looking at a new TV for the holiday season or for the digital changeover, a Panasonic plasma may be the right choice for you.

It seems that every month, there is a new digital camera on the market claiming to be the best digital camera. Much like cell phones, there seems to be a lot of features in today’s digital cameras. So how do you know which is the best and which one is suitable for you?
Here are some factors you might want to consider before buying that latest digital camera model.
1) Megapixels
One of the most important feature of any digital camera is the megapixel. Generally speaking, the higher the megapixel, the better digital images it can take. The resolution of your digital images is based on the pixels that make up the images. One megapixel is equivalent to 1 million pixels. Most digital cameras on the market have between 3 to 5 megapixel which is more than sufficient if you are printing it on A4 size paper.
If you are printing on banner or enlarging the digital image, then you may need a higher megapixel camera.
2) Zoom
Most digital cameras nowadays have both optical and digital zoom features. Most digital cameras have an optical zoom of between 3 to 10x. Be sure to select a higher optical zoom since it is better than digital zoom.
3) LCD Size
A larger LCD size helps you to review images taken without having to squint. It is also easier to take pictures if the LCD screen is larger. Most digital cameras have a LCD of 1.5 inch. I prefer LCD screen that is at least 2 inches.
4) Memory Card
Almost all digital cameras have the ability to hold a memory card. The difference is the type of memory card used and the storage capacity of the card. Sony cameras can only use the sony memory stick while others uses the CompactFlash or SD card format.
Regardless of which type of memory card you use, be sure to get a sufficient large storage memory card. Particularly if you have a high megapixel digital camera as it can take up quite a large storage size for a single digital image. My recommendation is to get a 512 MB to 1 GB size card. It should be enough to hold at least 500 images. Prices of memory cards are dropping like crazy so the cost is negligible.

The Canon EOS 7D is a very handy item to have with you when you are on vacation. This brand new DSLR is very versatile and is packed with excellent features that make it a travel camera that is hard to top. Your pictures will be the envy of your family and friends.
The best way to get excellent pictures is to have a great travel camera that is easy to use, but one that also has good functionality. When you are on the go, you need to know that you can snap pictures at a moment's notice with a reliable piece of equipment. This baby smokes at 8 frames per second of continuous shooting so that you don't have to miss any photo opportunity, and you can capture multiple shots of moving objects or people. For example, while watching "The Running of the Bulls", you will have enough detailed photos of bulls tossing those silly runners high into the air so you can find one with just the right surprised expression on the unfortunate victims face (just kidding).
The Canon EOS 7D provides high quality resolution digital pictures with its 18 megapixel image sensor. This means that you will be able to enlarge your photographs into a large canvas portrait or poster with no problems. You can also quickly check the photo that you have taken with the oversized 3.0 inch LCD screen. Being able to clearly see what you have captured can make a world of difference.
An added bonus is the 1080p HD video recording option. Unique travel moments can happen that are better captured through video. Having a multi-functional photographic unit makes your holiday experience easier and more fun. It reduces your stress and allows you to spend more time focusing on other activities.
The exterior buttons and dials help you save time on picking your favorite options. On the body of the device are commonly used buttons that reduce your search time because you don't have to sift through a complicated on-screen menu. With the click of a button or the twist of a dial, you can have the setting that you need in place.
Vacations are the perfect time to take memorable pictures that will last a lifetime. You will be able to proudly display them on your computer, your walls or in photo books. The Canon EOS 7D can help you snap the best high quality pictures that will properly detail your travel experience.

Pocket camcorders like the Flip, the Kodak Zi8, and the Creative Labs Vado are at the forefront of a new video revolution. Why is this so?
Pocket camcorders that take HD video are in the $200 range, and dropping, lowering the entry costs of an exciting new hobby, and a new form of visual communication.
Because it fits in your pocket, you can take it with you anywhere. You can be ready to shoot at a moment's notice. It can lay on the baby's changing table (2nd shelf, to remain safely out of range of contamination) to catch a precious moment. You can pull over to the side of the road to catch a blue heron in its nest, and the slow flap of its wings as it departs for food for its chicks. You can be an amateur on-the-scene reporter of an event.
The list of possibilities is endless when you don't have to be prepared -- when you can power up and record in seconds, and when the skill required to shoot video is so low. What once was the province of techno-geeks is now in reach of every child and his grandmother. Flip HD camcorders plug directly into your computer, and with their FlipShare software make it incredibly easy to offload the video onto your computer, organize it, trim out the cruft, and make a movie, complete with titles and credits, in minutes.
Pocket camcorders enable daily, personal, visual communication. Sharing video has never been more convenient, taken less time, or required less of those with whom you want to share. Pocket camcorders typically have facilities for instantaneous upload to YouTube, to Facebook, or through an email.
If you like the idea of blogging (web logging), you might love the idea of vlogging (video logging) of the events and nuances of your daily life. It is now far easier to show a video to a few family members than to send them a card. Call it a virtual visit.
And it's all about to get better. Not only are prices going down, even as the video quality goes up, but "virtual telepresence" is on its way. You are going to be able to stream video directly from your computer to a set-top box that displays it on your TV, and to the TV's of others who have a similar box. You can have your own TV channel and give the "key" to your channel to your friends and family. Look for soon-to-be-released technology from Flip/Cisco.
It won't be long before your video channel can go live, from your camcorder to your channel. Rather than just video communication, you'll have video telepresence.
You aren't going to get this kind of quality with all of this convenience and capability from a cell phone any time soon. But, guess what? These gadgets have become small enough that I can carry my cell phone and my Flip in the same pocket!

So you've decided to purchase a digital camera. When you enter the mall, you are confused by the huge number of models and technical jargon. Well not to worry. This article is going to be your guide for selecting a suitable DSLR camera for you.
As a start, it is a good option to narrow down your approach by thinking about. First of all, emphasis should be on DSLR range and not the low-end point and shoot cameras. Then, consideration must be on other practical considerations like size, weight, weatherproof and shockproof body and specialist accessories. This is so because wildlife photographer's DSLR will be different from fashion photographers. Some of the key factors while choosing your DSLR, can be summed as follows:
Sensor size: In DSLR, megapixels rule and most entry level cameras have more than 18 megapixels. There are three types into which they can be classified. First is, the Full-Frame sensor represents the high-end and professional realm. These have the biggest and brightest viewfinders and no crop factor is further a delight. The second one is APS-C and is the standard format in most cameras. They offer low crop factor and special lenses are needed for better wide-angle results. But these are less expensive and readily available. Lastly, Four-thirds are small size sensors which offer compact bodies. But they produce grainier photos in low-light conditions.
Speed: Most of the entry level DSLR cameras offer a continuous shooting rate of around 2 to 3 frames per second. However, if money is no concern you can get cameras with up to 5 or even 10 frames per second.
Image stabilization systems: During photography, there is always an angle for human error. When clicking, camera might shake, which produces blurred images. Image stabilization is achieved by two methods. An optical image stabilization moves the lens independent of the camera and sensor IS moves the sensor. All DSLR's offer good image stability program bundled into the camera.
Optical zooms: Don't be fooled by large digital zoom like 100x. Check for good optical zoom as only it offers real-time magnification of pictures without blurring them. A good DSLR will have more than 8x optical zoom, which can further be increased by additional lenses.
LCD screens: LCD screens have evolved immensely and large crisp displays are now common. Some of the models offer very high resolution LCD screens of 2.5 to 3 inch size on the back providing excellent picture preview. However, it does contribute to price increase.
Accessories: Check out which brands offer what accessories. Common accessories include camera base, spare batteries, memory cards, tripods, and lenses. Compare them and try to negotiate the price.
These should serve as golden rules for prospective digital camera buyers. Finally, enter the shop with your gut feeling or intuition and only buy when you are certain about your choice.

The digital camcorder is de facto a combination of video camera and video recorder. It was the analogue version that hit the markets in the early stages. But the analogue models were not equipped for editing and uploading to the computer. They were only able to record on video tapes. The modern digital versions are innovative and they come in different formats like DVD, hard drive, flash drive, Mini DV and High definition. They record on optical disks, hard disk drive and flash memory. The device has become very popular in the present scenario mainly because of the convenience and compactness they have.
The consumers have to consider certain factors while choosing a digital camcorder. The most remarkable aspect of this device is that it can offer high quality images and sound reproduction. For this purpose it is necessary to have image stabilization. Generally there are two types of stabilization available in the modern camcorders. The first type is optical stabilization by which the lens manipulates images in tune with the movements of the camera. In the second type namely electronic stabilization, images are captured in Charge Couple device and will be interpreted by internal circuits.
An important feature in the camcorder is the optical zoom. A digital camcorder should have a minimum optical zoom of 10 x. At times higher optical zoom will be counterproductive and will affect the video quality adversely. There is another important factor to be considered by the shoppers. It is the screen size. LCD screen displays images which are to be transferred to the video disks. The photographer should obtain clear view of the objects on the screen, and it is therefore necessary to have a screen adequately large for the purpose. Equally important is the microphone in the digital camcorder in order to obtain clear sound recordings. External microphones are also available which can be plugged into the camcorder for quality performance. The shoppers can insist on features like auto focus, auto exposure and capability to shoot still images. Infra red enabled night mode will make videography easier in dark or dim light ambience. Lens quality and zoom range are other important factors in choosing the digital camcorder.
Shoppers should avail all necessary information about camcorders from relevant websites or catalogues. It is a very expensive product and for some consumers it will be 'once in a lifetime' deal. Of course there are enthusiasts and professional photographers who acquire latest models periodically. They also upgrade their existing camcorders whenever innovative features are introduced by the manufacturers. Samsung, Canon, Sony, JVC Everio and Panasonic are market leaders in the field.
