5 Reasons Why You Should Opt To A Digital Camera

By Martin Elmer

For those few people who are still using film photography, here are some good reasons why you should opt for digital photography:

1. Digital photography is much more convenient than film photography. The camera is portable and can just be placed in your pocket. Finally it is much more user friendly than a film camera.

2. You save both time and effort with a digital camera. You will get instant feedback when you have taken a photo, and you can review all of them, so you can select the best ones. The ones you do not want can be deleted easily. Simply just keep on taking photo until you get the right one.

3. The next good thing about digital photography is its capacity to have your photos printed immediately. Actually, you can it is much easier if you have a digital printer. You can just simply connect your digital camera to the printer and press the button to print. On the contrary, film cameras takes time before you get your photos developed. You also have to go back to the photo shop to get your pictures.

4. Another great thing you can get from digital photography is the capacity to modify or edit your photos anytime. Since the images are in digital files, it is much easier now to edit them. You can simply open the images in any photo editing software supported by the file. With the photo editing software, you can alter or adjust the color of your photos. You can also crop the photo and design your own photo. All of these in one photo editing package. It's more than what you can get from film cameras.

5. Lastly, digital photography has the ability to share the photos you have to your love ones and relatives. You can simply give a copy of the precious moments to someone everywhere. Just attach the softcopy of the photo to your email and send; that easy. But with film camera, you will spend money just on scanning the photos, to be able to send them online.

Apparently, digital photography has really paved way for making photography convenient and easier at the same time achieving high quality photos. It just shows that there's no other time to opt to digital photography than now. - 32363

Digital Cameras Best Buys reviews Sony, Samsung and Toshiba

By Angela Sapiana

A Digital Cameras Best Buys review set. There are several digital camera companies that make small point and shoot cameras. Among them have risen Sony, Samsung and Toshiba. Here's our take on where these three digital camera companies sit with their current, best camera.

Samsung Digital Cameras: One of my favorite Samsung cameras is the Samsung Digital Camera DIGIMAX S1000. This is a simple "point and shoot" camera, requiring very little focusing. Unlike other cameras of the same size, the DIGIMAX S1000 has 10.1 mega pixels , a vast improvement in the quality of your color photos. Some of its other features are "Color Effect" "Highlight" and "Photo Frame." I would recommend this camera for the amateur, backyard photographer skilled in digital photography and web manipulation.

Toshiba Digital Cameras: Toshiba cameras are traditionally of very good quality, with excellent memory capacity. If you're annoyed each time you run out of memory, get a Toshiba with an SD card and that shouldn't be a problem. Make sure you don't get one of the High Performance SD cards though, the Toshiba can't read those. I would not recommend these cameras for professional work because they lack the sheer power of Sony - they are great amateur cameras.

Sony has cornered the market on mid-tier, fantastic cameras. They are not only user-friendly, but normally carry many good features. The Sony Cybershot DSC-T10 is a fantastic 7.2 mega-pixel camera. Sony knows that 7.2 mega-pixels look great on Facebook, in 4x6's and e-mailed on mobile phones. 10.1 is often not necessary. The DSC-T10 does come with a memory stick like the Toshiba model - but people who like the Toshiba model will find the Sony to be quite technical. It's many features and large instruction manual could be cumbersome to many.

The Beneifts of Digital Camcorders

By Milos Pesic

For a while, digital camcorders were not used that much because they had to use removable media. It implies that you need to provide the media and always take it no matter where you go. Further, the camcorder has to be equipped with enough space in order to store the media.

Still, the things are much different nowadays, since we have entered the era of the tapeless camcorder. So, what does "tapeless" entail? In the main, it is related to hard disk camcorders, which function in the same way as your iPod or Tivo with a hard disk drive inside for storing the data.

Since they contain modern video compression combined with the ever-increasing capacity and ever-declining physical size, they have finally become convenient for this type of portable usage. When the iPod emerged on the market, it reduced a lot the price of portable hard disks and the next thing to benefit is digital camcorders.

A hard disk camcorder is really easy to apply. You just need to charge it up, point it at the image you would like to capture, and switch it on. It'll film for many hours until it gets full - nearly around 50 hours, but you can get more if you like. After filming plug it into a computer (or use a Bluetooth wireless connection), save the movie to the hard drive, and then you can repeat the whole process again.

In comparison with digital cams, hard disk camcorders are, of course, much smaller, and can be designed in almost any way their designers want, which generally make them nicer to hold and use. If you can't still make up your mind, I can recommend the JVC Everio line as the original and up to now the best one, but still unavailable at this market. - 32363

Don't Let Your Photos Gather Dust - Use Digital Photo Frames

By Dean Fellows

Photography is a fantastic hobby, the only trouble is that, for some reason or another, it has always been a lot easier to take photos than to get them out on display. In times gone by, it really was very common to find rolls and rolls of undeveloped films squireled away in drawers. They would often lie there so long that they deteriorated to the point where the color reproduction was very poor when you eventually got them back from the lab.

The alternative was to use a Polaroid camera. The picture slowly appeared in front of your eyes, without the need to send your film off for developing - it was a pretty exciting process sometimes. However, the Polaroid film was pretty pricey and you couldn't get extra prints as you had no negative. For a lot of people, the uniqueness of Polaroid prints was actually part of the charm.

Things are a bit different today; modern photographers will typically have their work stored on memory cards - or maybe on their computer's hard drive. At the end of the day, the result is the same - all those digital photos are unshared and unappreciated.

So, rather than thinking of digital photo frames as the latest high technology gadget, you might want to consider that their main function is to help you by providing a simple and convenient method for you to get your photos on display to as wide an audience as possible.

Digital photo frames are really easy to load up with your snapshots. No need to wait for them to come back from the processing lab and no cost to develop or print out your shots. They have facilities such as slide shows, the possibility of background music, some of them have video functionality and, if you tire of your current display of photos, it's an easy matter to change them.

Currently there are frames available to suit all budgets. They now start as less than $10 for a small frame - typicall one and a half inches square - on a key chain, and you can go up to frame sizes of 12 or 15 inches - some even larger ones now exist - that may set you back a couple of hundred dollars. Whatever type of frame you opt for, the key thing is to get your photos out on display where they can be enjoyed and appreciated. - 32363

Digital Picture Viewer Functions And Uses

By Mark Durrett

Ah, the days of having to maintain your old camera. Having a limited number of pictures, having to get the film developed at the film development place, then waiting to get it back. And not to mention the photo albums you used to keep. If you wanted to show off your son's birthday party to your friends you would either have to invite them over or take the bulky albums to them. The days of photo albums are gone now, for better or for worse. Now we have digital cameras that allow us to see the picture right after it is taken. We now have the opportunity to upload these images not only to our computers but to online storage sites as well. Did I forget anything else? Oh yes, we can print the images too and still have the family album. Revolutions in technology have now produced digital picture viewers.

What are those? In short, digital picture viewers allow us to view all of our digitally-taken pictures with ease, like a photo album only digital and with a lot more storage. The most functional of this is the digital photo frame. They are also getting more and more popular as people want to show off their pictures. You can back up and instantly view your valuable pictures, and you don't even have to wait. The way these things work is very simple: just transfer the memory card from your camera over to the photo viewer and copy them to the viewer's hard drive. This way you do not have to worry about running out of space, or even worry about corrupting the images on the card. Also it is very convenient as it saves you the trouble of carrying around a bulky laptop to transfer your images.

These digital picture viewers normally work with all image formats, and will work with all the common memory card formats for example SD/HC Card, Memory Stick and xD-Picture Card to name a few. You will be able to take your whole photo album anywhere you want it to go, which is something we could only have dreamt of years ago. And luckily, many of them also come with a built-on hard drive, so you can have the viewer hold a large amount of images as well.

Not only will these digital picture viewers store images, they also have the capacity to store videos and music. Even better is that some models even allow you to do some minor edits to your pictures as well. Adding to the versatility of these devices, some will allow you the flexibility of printing straight from the viewer itself. Talk about convenience.

Each day man seeks to find ways of improving our lives and the preservation of our precious images is no different. With digital picture viewers they have changed the way we see, save and share our memories. - 32363

The Cheapest Digital Camera Is How Cheap?

By Michael Forbes

You can find digital cameras everywhere these days. So it really is not hard to find a cheap digital camera. Everyone is always worried about saving money, especially today.. It's no surprise that you now want to use your budget to choose your digital camera. You want cheap, however you want to know that you are getting the best value for your dollar. I recommend taking your time to decide on which brand you would want to own that way you are able to compare prices and features within that particular.

If you are like most people, then you probably think that if something is cheap then it is of low quality. We are therefore willing to sacrifice the quality of the camera for a cheap one. Well this does not have to be the case. With advances in technology and improvements in production coupled with outsourcing camera makers are now able to give you quality cameras at an affordable price. Primarily the people that will purchase the cheapest digital camera are photography students; however there are those persons who will buy one simply because they want a digital camera.

Now cheap digital cameras tend to as much as possible try to mimic the specifications that professionals would use. So while they are cheap, they also come with some features that used to not be standard. Most manufacturers have now realized that technology and price go hand in hand and are beginning to take the consumers' budget unto consideration. These companies want to boost sales, they realize that there is a demand for the cameras; consumers want their products but they don't want to pay too much for the cameras.

The features of one brand may be inexpensive; however you are able to match those same qualities with another brand you will find that it is not so reasonable. The prices that you find on these cameras will vary greatly, mostly depending on a few key factors: the mega pixels, screen size, media capabilities, zoom, and editing software.

There are dozens of brands for you to consider when trying to find a cheap digital camera, so you are going to have to do your own research to find out which are the best for the best prices to make a good decision. The internet is a great way to start the hunt for a new camera. There you are able to get consumer reviews, look for discounts and who knows maybe even get free shipping and free accessories. - 32363

Digital Photo Recovery Made Easy

By Dana Goldberg

There are many reasons why you may wish to get back the pictures that you have either lost through computer error or that you have decided they are not so bad after all. The best way to do this even if you do not have a technical mind is to use digital photo recovery software. This will mean that you will never again have to go through a re-shoot or pay a computer specialist to do the recovery for you.

It is not only pictures that this kind of software is able to get back for you. You will also be able to get back other files too that are in any kind of media format. Why waste valuable time and have to pay over the odds when you have another effective tried and proven method.

The main reason for people losing their work is because of viruses causing the files to become corrupted so they cannot be opened. Even if you think you have the latest protection there is still a chance a new virus can infect your computer for which you are not protected against.

Imagine the amount of time and money you will be able to save by having this state of the art technology brought to you with the simplest of instructions that even the most basic of computer user will be able to use.

This will definitely mean for those who need such files for their work that they do not have to beg for extra time to complete their assignment or to start all over again.

This software can be used not only for information that has been stored on your hard drive but also from removable storage devices. This is something that many people wish they had known sooner so that they were able to get back the pictures of their child's first steps, award ceremonies, wedding photographs and other irreplaceable pictures of once in a lifetime events. - 32363

You Should Know This About xD Memory Cards

By Don Seals

After seven long years, Olympus and Fujifilm have decided to begin phasing out their xD flash memory cards, perhaps in response to a mountain of customer complaints and competitor SD cards' lower prices and higher quality. To give an idea of how far this has gone, xD card readers are now sold with SD adapters, which is the closest thing to defeat the manufacturers will likely ever admit.

Irritated customers all over the country will say this has been a long time coming. The xD memory cards have caused a lot of people a lot of grief. Let's take a look at some of the most reported issues that consumers have had with their xD memory cards.

Losing Data To Corrupted Files

The main problem reported is that its digital cameras have ended up with corrupted data files. Losing irreplaceable memories this way is simply unacceptable. What's worse is that there's no one thing that you can do to prevent data corruption. Anything from pushing extra buttons while processing photos to turning off the camera while taking a picture to using low batteries can cause trouble.

Brief Lifespan Hurts Reliability

A new technology called "wear leveling" helps extend the lives of memory cards by keeping track of the number of stored memory blocks. Most modern memory cards make use of this technology, and particularly as they get smaller and smaller wear leveling will become even more important.

The manufacturers refuse to address this issue, choosing instead to continue releasing xD memory cards that do not utilize wear leveling technology. As a result, xD memory cards wear out before their SD equivalents.

Limited Memory And Speed

The xD memory card originally held 512 MB of storage space, which was maybe decent back in 2002 when it was first released. Today, Olympus and Fujifilm have expanded their card space to 2 GB, which might be better than before, but it certainly doesn't live up to the SD 32 GB cards available these days. To put this in perspective, most MP3 players offer more than 2 GB of space. To add insult to injury, xD memory cards are also much slower in data transfer than the competition.

Bad Quality, But High Prices

The most surprising of the differences between the xD and the SD is the price. Considering the trouble that comes with the xD, and its lack of power, you'd think it would be the less expensive choice. Reality is quite different: a 2 GB xD card retails for almost $20, while a comparable SD card is half that price, and several larger cards are still cheaper than the xD's hefty price.

Conclusion: xD Memory Cards On Their Way Out

When it comes to a product battle, most consumers will side with whichever company delivers a product for cheaper. This doesn't necessarily guide them in the right direction, but in this case it does. The xD memory cards are simply too expensive considering what little functionality they provide, and since Fujifilm and Olympus refuse to update their products, what can customers do but buy new products from a different company? - 32363

35mm Digital Cameras - How Do You Decide On Which One To Buy?

By Joel Bingerley

Playing with 35mm digital cameras is like a holiday everyday for me. That is because they are like playing with a toy since they are so easy to use and since no film is required to use them I can take pictures all day. They use a memory card but that is cool since they are reusable which is unlike film cameras.

Now, digital cameras did not just come out and they have been out for several years now but have you happen to notice that as old father time moves on the features get more and more unique on the cameras and the price keeps getting better as well.

You will want to first grab a piece of paper or if you like use a spreadsheet to do this work. Now that you have that stuff ready I want you to go to ebay or amazon or any big website and find all of the 35mm digital cameras you can.

Now, that you've located them jot down the brands, makes, models and all of the major features of the cameras as well.

The next step for you is to put a simple circle around all of the unique features you like from the higher priced units. Now please put a star for each feature you like instead of a circle for each of the affordable units that have similar features to the higher priced group of cameras.

After you have done that I want you to now put a star next to each of the affordable camera's that you think looks the best to you.

Best Digital Camera Ever - Nikon Coolpix P90

By Dick Busch

You can understand why so many people are confused when they decide to buy their first digital camera, with so many variations, what do you look for? For someone who is dedicated then they may spend quite some time researching consumer reports to find the best digital camera. Finally you decide upon the latest 12 megapixel model with a huge optical zoom and a feature list as long as you arm. The problem is by the time you actually get to the mall, the model you have set your heart on is no longer the one to own as there is a new better version that you must now have.

We sigh because the manufacturer of this amazing gadget claims that this is the best digital camera yet out in the market. But this dilemma is very short lived because you promised yourself the best digital camera and that is what you are going to have. Don't worry though if you are not sure what to do; just follow the guide below and you shouldn't go to far wrong. First off try and search out a model with a higher number of pixels, referred to megapixels; you ideally need over 5 although with today's cameras it would be hard to find one under that anyway.

We sigh because the manufacturer of this amazing gadget claims that this is the best digital camera yet out in the market. The best digital camera is now going to cost us considerably more and being new there aren't any discounts to be had. There are certain factors to consider when looking for any digital camera. Much is made about the number of pixels and the truth is the more you have the better.

So we have a dilemma because now there is this new version, we simply must have this latest best digital camera. The best digital camera is now going to cost us considerably more and being new there aren't any discounts to be had. If you are new to digital cameras and photography the tips below might be useful and point you in the right direction. You really need to dismiss any decent model with less than 8 megapixels but I don't think there are many available now.

A number of cards have been used over the years but the main ones are: the Secure Digital, Compact Flash, Sony's Memory Stick and the newer XD cards. Try to obtain the largest memory you can for your camera and your budget. For example, for the price of a 256mb card a couple of years ago you can probably now buy a 2 gigabyte and now some memory cards can go up to 16 gigabytes. Remember, the camera must suit the type of person you are as much as your wallet as there is no point having the best digital camera if you do not use it. either you use your camera for fun or for serious photography, as long as it is used it will be worth the financial outlay.

The larger the display the better but remember that the greater the size the screen shorter the life of the batteries. More and more digital cameras are coming equipped with an optical zoom and this is the sort to try for even if it is only a three times power. You will find lower price cameras almost never have an optical zoom fitted so it will really be down to your budget. These cameras use a memory card to store the images on but there are a variety of types, so be careful when buying one for your model.

There are different types of memory card: like the XD, SD, Compact Flash, Memory Stick being the main ones. Purchasing a large memory card means you can store larger resolution images and many more of them but sometimes the larger capacity cards might not be compatible with your model. Whereas a few years ago a large storage card would be somewhere in the region of 2gb to 4gb, it is not uncommon to use cards with 8 gigabytes or more of storage now. Your life and interests should really be the ideal measuring stick for the type of digital camera you ultimately buy. Actually, the best camera is the one that you will enjoy and use for a long time without the need to upgrade constantly. - 32363

Canon Powershot Sx10 Movie Mode - Is It Worth Having?

By Peter Sneckint

There are quite a few of the Canon PowerShot cameras which possess some of the greatest video capture capabilities out there. The video option on these cameras is what Canon has dubbed the Movie Mode. It unfortunately has a one gigabyte file size limit, but before we get to that let's talk about the different movie mode options.

You have the ability to select among two different resolutions when you are in movie mode. Many people will understand the first one, as it is called VGA, recording at a size of 640 x 480. Then there is QVG. First we'll talk about VGA. This stands for Video Graphics Array and is actually a well known computer term, though the resolution it applies to has passed into the shadows.

Then there is QVGA which stands for Quarter Video Graphics Array. This runs at 320 x 240, which is the screen size of a VGA resolution. Often this type of resolution is located on mobile phones and Personal Data Assistants. VGA was created by IBM during the days of the first personal computers, long before Microsoft Windows was a mere background application.

The Canon PowerShot allows you to chose between 15, 30 and 60 frames/second when recording in movie mode, depending on the resolution you have selected. However, you will always come up against the 1GB limit, no matter which mode and frame rate you chose. This 1GB file size limit is for the size of any one individual recording. You will be able to continue recording until the memory card is full or the file reaches 1GB in size, whichever happens first.

At maximum quality setting, which is VGA 640 * 480 at 30 frames per second, the 1GB limit is reached in approximately nine minutes. So, the maximum resolution will give you approximately 9 minutes of movie time before you hit the 1GB size limit. This doesn't mean that you can only store 1GB of movies on the card. You can store as many 1GB movies as your card will allow. If you have an 8GB card, you could store eight 1GB movies at the maximum resolution.

Luckily, you're probably shooting web content for YouTube, which actually has a ten minute video limit. If you want to shoot longer movies, you could try film to 15 fps, though you are sure to affect the quality of the video. Note that there are other things you can try to make the video last longer.

Another thing that you could try is reducing to QVGA quality. Different resolutions will cause different quality, and you could even impact the quality of the audio. It will likely reduce the file a little bit but not as much as the resolution. If you desire you could make use of the fast frame rate mode, which will record at 320 x240 at 60 frames per second. It will give you a high quality video with a low resolution.

By doing this you could indeed record for a bit longer than the normal nine minutes, and you would even retain decent video quality. Make sure that you check the results of this before you actually use it however. One thing that you need to know however, is that the Canon Powershot will definitely outdo any other handheld video camcorder on the market. This is a combination of both the lens and the technology integrated into the PowerShot. - 32363

Digital Photography: Five Reasons Why You Must Consider It

By Dan Westwood

Are you still making use of a typical camera? Stop chucking away your time and money. There are a number of reasons to take on digital photography. Digital photography allows one to have immediate gratification of seeing their pictures, doesn't need a black room, creates very similar quality pictures, are easy to work with, and will save you money.

Instantaneous Gratification

When you use a traditional camera to take a picture, you have to wait until the film has been developed in order to see the picture. However when you take your pictures with a digital camera, you can see the pictures straight away on the screen.

No Black Room Required

Digital cameras do not need a dark room to develop the film. All you require is a PC, which if you are reading this already have. You don't have to deal with messy chemicals so that you can process the film. You will not have to smell, touch, or procure those chemicals either. Digital photos cannot be spoilt as simply as negatives. They can be kept online in multiple places. Physical negatives can be damaged and cracked.

Same Quality

A lot of individuals think that traditional cameras will take a better picture than their digital counterparts. Yet this is not the case. Many digital cameras can switch optical lenses just like normal one. Along with being able to zoom optically, one can also zoom on a target digitally.

You'll Save Money

Film is high-priced. Paying to develop film, weather you do it yourself in your own black room or have another person do it for you, is even more expensive. When you use a digital camera you never need to buy a roll of film or pay someone to develop the pictures. In truth at most stores you can print individual digital photos cheaper then developing individual negatives.

Digital Is Everywhere

Digital photography is everywhere because it is so much easier to work with. The medium itself is universal. One can take a picture with their phone, upload it to a social network such as Facebook for their friends to view, and have them printed out in moments. Digital photos can be sent in emails, text messages, and carried on USB jump drives. - 32363

Save on Nikon CoolPix P90 Cameras

By Jen Riley

Why do so many people who are on the lookout for high performance digital cameras with masses of advanced features buy CoolPix P90 cameras? It's because, in spite its diminutive size and affordable price tag, these cameras get the function done. The P90 these cameras get the Nikon CoolPix Performance Series after all. And it doubtlessly performs, sometimes above and beyond what you might count on. There was a age when, in order to get a camera with the features you desired to produce near professional quality pictures, you had to sacrifice something, namely compact size. But the P90 has a lot of efficacy packed into a small, streamlined package.

One of the major reasons size. But the P90 digital cameras is the telephoto lens. Before the P90 came along, cameras this little just didn't have telephoto lenses. In order to appreciate the benefits of that feature, you had to accept that you would be heftying around a camera that was a little bulkier and more cumbersome than you liked. Then along came the P90, which Nikon called "The World's Most Compact Super-telephoto Camera." And it wasn't advertising magic. In fact, the P90 is equipped with an'x Optical Wide-Angle Zoom NIKKOR Lens. Pretty extraordinary considering the camera's size. With this lens, you can capture everything from the sweeping grandeur of the Grand Canyon, to a bee setting reality, the petal of a flower.

Another of this camera's strong features is Optical Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization. Which basically means the camera compensates for shaky or unstable conditions. More than one great photograph has been ruined because the photography was jostled by something. Maybe they were in a truck driving over shoddy roads, or on a sailboat sailing on choppy waters. Whatever the cause, the shakiness can result in blurry, unfocussed artwork. But thanks to Nikon's VR system, the pictures you take on your next boat trip will be crisp, ruined as the waters are a little choppy.

The P90 has many advantages over traditional cameras. And one of them is that it can do more than take great pictures. It can also journal home movies. Imagine it. You are at your annual family picnic, taking pictures of the festivities when, suddenly, the young at the picnic start to dance. It's a moment you just be crisp, clear And while taking some pictures would be a great way to do that, you can do even better. So you aim your camera and press record. And, just like that, you aren't just taking snapshots, you are filming also record home movie, complete with sound. Later, all you have to do is connect your camera to your television set, and you can relive that moment as many times as you want.

And those are just to dance. It's a few of the great features those who buy CoolPix P90 cameras can delight in. In fact, photography buffs will find that discovering each new feature, and learning to use it to its fullest, is part of the joy of owning this exceptional camera. - 32363

Practical Tips On How to Find A Cheap Digital Camera

By Marianna Bynes

Advances in modern science ushered in a wave of new technology that the world can enjoy. In the old days, photographers used actual bulbs for camera flash. Only photographers carry cameras because lugging them around is not really fashionable at that time. Discoveries and development of cameras produced the digital camera, wherein taking pictures is not so cumbersome anymore. It is less expensive because you can see the images before printing them so you could choose what to actually print. The images could also be uploaded to your computer for storage and further manipulations. These days, it not unusual to carry a compact digital camera. Its perfect for capturing those random wacky moments with your friends.

The major concern then is just to find a cheap digital camera. Can you even find one? Because of the features that are offered by digital cameras, they are often costly. That is enough to make any person have second thoughts about buying one. But for someone who considers photography a passion, affordability is relative. You just have to set a budget before buying a camera. You can find a cheap digital camera that is just right for you if you look hard enough. Do not buy one that is more than you can afford, even if it has a lot of features. Make sure that you can actually use these features so that you can get your moneys worth.

To find the right cheap digital camera, think about your lifestyle and the use of your camera. Do you plan to spend a lot of time taking pictures or do you just want something small that can fit in your bag? If you are still a beginner, do not buy a high-end professional camera just for the assurance of image quality and zoom performance. Instead, buy a cheap digital camera that is compact but has powerful features and easy to carry around. Explore the basics before cashing out on expensive professional cameras.

The features of your chosen camera is also important. Check the megapixels, zoom capability, image quality, type of media and battery. These are actually features that digital cameras highlight in advertisements.

- Megapixels - Although megapixels play a major role in the total quality of your photo, they are not the be-all and end-all of digital cameras. Salespeople like to throw this information to you because it promises clearer images. But this is just one factor that comprises your digital camera. You have to check the megapixels quality. Most image sensors can only find certain hues like red, blue and green. They cant detect all three at the same time.

- Zoom capability " You have seen advertisements like 10x digital zoom or 5x zoom capability. While it is true, advertisers often forget to highlight optical zoom, which is actually more important. The difference is that with digital zoom, your image gets broken into small pixels if you enlarge it on your computer. If your camera has high optical zoom, you would not see pixelated images if you enlarge the image.

- Image quality - To find out if the image quality suits you, check the quality of your image after you take a picture. Is it fuzzy or pixelated? Sharpness of colors is very important.

- Type of Media - This is the memory of your digital camera. Find a memory card or stick that is compatible with your other equipment so it is easier to upload your images.

- Type of Battery - If you are a field photographer, you would probably need longer stand-by time compared to those who take photos in a gallery or a studio. See to it that your cheap digital camera does not require expensive batteries or that it allows rechargeable batteries.

These points would help you decide on what kind of cheap digital camera to buy. Like what was mentioned earlier, affordability is relative for the passionate photographer. Find your niche by choosing the best but cheap digital camera. - 32363

New Tech Kills Old xD Memory Cards

By Emma Baker

After releasing the extreme Digital (xD) memory cards back in 2002, Olympus and Fujifilm have struggled to keep up with the advantages of the competition's flash memory card, the Secure Digital.

Technology has continued to evolve, and both companies are finally beginning to slow down on xD card production in favor of the widespread and infinitely more flexible SD format.

Difficulty With Compatibility

One of the reasons SD cards are so popular is because they are supported by such a large number of electronic devices. The SD's are compatible with video games, PDA's, video recorders, and of course digital cameras.

On the other hand, the xD card is exclusive to Fujifilm and Olympus digital cameras. There are SD cards on the market now that can store up to 32 GB of space. The maximum for an xD card is 2 GB -- hardly enough for most higher end electronics.

On top of all this, the xD cards have garnered a bad reputation for compatibility issues with certain software and camera accessories. This can cause a lot of problems for some users, who end up with a drawn out mess instead of the simplicity promised by xD's advertising.

Image Trouble

Digital cameras are meant to record our important life moments so we can relive them after the fact. The most troubling problem that xD card users have experienced is data corruption, and it's happened so often that more than likely every xD card owner will lose their data at least one time in their use, if not more.

Some of the more common activities that will trash your stuff include buttons being pushed in the middle of a camera load, for instance, or removing your card without first turning off your camera.

An SD card isn't an exception to data corruption, but it's mentioned far less often than the xD. Corruption can screw up any camera's output, but the xD's number of complaints is bordering on the legendary.

Pricey Product

The strangest discrepancy among these memory cards has to do with the price of the limited xD versus the more efficient SD card. A 2 GB Olympus xD card is available through Amazon.com for $17.50, and the SD version of that same size card is priced at $8.49.

The quality differences are so extreme that it is not surprising that more and more consumers are buying devices with SD memory card compatibility rather than the xD.

Despite the fact that the SD originated in'99, it's still powered for expansion to fit in with many of the electrical devices being sold today and, featuring all that disk space, it's not hard to like them.

As customers continue to choose the SD over the xD, Olympus and Fujifilm are right to leave behind their xD cards and try something new. - 32363

All xD memory cards are still available courtesy of Olympus and Fujifilm. If you are looking for another memory card, or perhaps you need new quality digital camera memory to start over with, be sure to purchase all your storage solutions from recommended retailers to ensure the best quality.

New Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital Camera

By Miranda Watson

Canon's consumer SLR line has a new flagship: the 15.1-megapixel Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Once again, we see a new SLR from Canon in less than' months from the last in a given line. It's actually only eight months since the XS was announced, and about-- since the XSi; either way you look at it, competition has shortened product cycles in the digital SLR space.

Now at the top of the Rebel line, the Canon T1i takes on the Nikon D90, with its video mode, while the XS and XSi are left to challenge the Nikon D40 and D60. With the Rebel T1i, Canon is answering the pincer move that Nikon's put on it in the past few years, now matching them model-to-model at the low end, because the XS and XSi will remain in the lineup.

Movie mode comes to the Rebel T1i with quite similar capabilities to the Canon 5D Mark II, though it's highest complete HD resolution is 720p at 30fps. It can capture 1080p videos, but only at 20fps, which isn't technically fully up to spec. Standard 640x480 movies are also available at 30fps. You can manually focus or autofocus via contrast detect by pressing the Canon T1i's rear AE/AF-Lock button.

Controls and body styling are nearly identical (differences are broken down in the User Report below); the main changes are internal. The Canon T1i's new sensor is ever slightly larger at 22.3 x--.9mm compared to the 22.2 x--.8mm measurement of the XSi's sensor, but the bigger change is the new sensor's high ISO capabilities, running from 100 to 3,200, with two expanded settings: 6,400 and 12,800.

Also introduced at the same time is the very small Speedlite 270EX, a new flash that is easy to pocket and gives cameras like the Rebel T1i and the PowerShot G10 an accessory flash that won't threaten to flip these lightweight cameras over. The flash head zooms manually from 28mm to 50mm coverage, and flips up to 90 degrees. Like other EX Speedlites, the 270EX transmits color temperature information to the camera. Power comes from two AA batteries. - 32363

New Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital Camera

By Miranda Watson

Canon introduces a new addition to its Rebel lineup, the EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR camera, the first in the Rebel line to feature Full HD video capture. The new Canon Rebel T1i SLR incorporates some of the best technologies from the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II models into an entry-level juggernaut. With a 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and HD video capture, along with the DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor, the Canon Rebel T1i gives aspiring photographers plenty of reason to step-up to the latest and greatest model in the Rebel lineup. The new Canon EOS Rebel T1i SLR camera raises the entry-level bar with a host of enhanced Canon technologies now available in an entry-level DSLR.

Other features come to the Canon T1i from the 50D, including the Peripheral Illumination Correction and multiple noise reduction settings. Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone Priority were already brought over with the XSi, but Creative Auto is now included, a unique mode that endeavors to bring creative control to the amateur shooter.

The muscle behind Canon's new EOS Rebel T1i camera is the DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor with---bit analog-to-digital conversion and the ability to process full HD video. The Canon EOS Rebel T1i digital SLR camera offers continuous shooting at 3.4 fps for up to 170 large/fine JPEG images or up to nine RAW images in a single burst when using a class 6 or higher SD or SDHC memory card. Whether capturing wildlife on the run or a child mid-stride on the soccer field, users will appreciate the fast shooting capabilities of the Rebel T1i Digital SLR camera.

The Canon Rebel T1i accepts EF and EF-S lenses, and uses SD/SDHC cards, including Eye-Fi wireless cards. The battery is the same as the XSi, and it uses the same battery grip.

After the introduction of the EOS 5D Mark II in September 2008, the Company's first HD video DSLR, Canon has integrated this must-have feature into the new entry-level flagship EOS Rebel T1i camera. The camera features 16:9 720p HD video capture at 30 fps as well as a Full HD 1080p video capture at 20 fps, and a third option to record 4:3 standard TV quality (SD) video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 fps. The video capture mode is part of the camera's Live View function, using the Picture Style that has been set for Live View still image shooting. The camera allows skilled photographers and enthusiasts to adjust image sharpness, contrast, color saturation and white balance, and have those settings apply to the movie image as well. When recording video, the camera's rear LCD screen is letter-boxed by a semi-transparent border to match the aspect ratio of the movie recording size. - 32363

Buying A Killer Digital Camera Just Got Easy

By Sam Simms

Buying a digital camera can be a difficult task. With hundred of cameras to choose from, it's easy to get confused. The key to finding the perfect camera for your budget is to know a few things about what you're looking for.

Different retailers will offer different specials, packages, and prices, so check out different stores and do some comparison shopping. Shop around to find the best packages and deals, also check online, most retailers will have bigger discounts online.

The pixel size of the digital camera is important as it will decide the resolution of a photo to be enlarged. However, better quality pictures (more mega pixels) will mean more storage space will be needed for your photos. And it will also take longer time for image display, transmission or process.

Your camera will come with some memory, but it's still a good idea to purchase at least one memory card. Again, if you're planning on taking professional quality pictures, you definitely will need to purchase back up memory. Higher quality pictures or pictures with more megapixels will take up more memory.

When purchasing your camera you will need to choose between optical and digital zoom. When at all possible, choose a camera that offers optical zoom. Digital zoom just magnifies the image taken, this often creates a blurry or grainy effect when you try to enlarge pictures. Optical zoom provides a true image of the whether your zoom in or zoom out.

The final decision in choosing the best digital camera, is to buy one that best fit you and the purpose for which it is intended. - 32363

Taking Better Low Light Photos With Your Pink Digital Camera

By Corwin Graves

Of the many questions asked by photographers both new and experienced, perhaps the most common relates to taking photos under low light conditions. It's all too often that photographers find themselves in a situation where they attempt to take a photo and their camera refuses to cooperate. The camera may hunt back and forth for several seconds attempting to lock in on something clear enough to capture. Typically, when the camera does finally capture the image it comes out blurry and out of focus. While this situation is most common for owners of point-and-shoot style cameras, it also can affect owners of more advanced digital SLR cameras. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to prevent such situations from occurring; allowing you to capture great images even when light is a limiting factor.

Because most people won't be interested in making an immediate upgrade to a DSLR camera, we will focus initially on the less expensive options. Before delving into the details, however, it's important to understand why some digital cameras suffer under low light conditions. In order to capture a photo on film or on a digital medium, the camera needs to activate the lens to open in order to allow light to come in.

Under low light situations, the camera must tell the lens to stay open for a longer period of time so that a sufficient amount of light can be captured to create an image. The problem is that once you allow the lens to remain open for more than a split second, any movements created by your hands or from external sources will affect the finished image, resulting in blurred or shaky images. Now that we have that out of the way, it's time to discuss some of the options available that will help you to improve your shots.

Perhaps the most common solution for preventing camera shake is through the use of a tripod or some other device that hold the camera in a stationary position. At this point it is much less likely for your hands to bump or move the camera while it is exposing an image. Fortunately, tripods are widely available and don't have to cost an arm and a leg. In fact, many can be purchase for under $50.00 for an entry level model. The price goes up for lighter and/or more portable options.

The next solution is to integrate some flash photography into your repertoire. While most point-and-shoot style cameras come equipped with a less than stellar flash system, they are capable of providing sufficient light under some circumstances such as indoor situations. The light coming from a camera flash can make the difference between having enough light to capture a clear image and having a blurred image. It should be mentioned that flash should only be reserved for situations where a need exists for slight illumination of the subject. It should not be used in very dark situations, since the result will likely be an overexposed subject and an underexposed background.

The last option to consider is the purchase of a DSLR camera, which will accept a larger external flash unit and accept a variety of interchangeable lenses. Obviously, this can be cost prohibitive for most people, so the options mentioned above will likely be more feasible. Whatever option you choose, the tips outlined in this article will help you to improve your low light photography skills without breaking the bank in the process. - 32363

Good Cheap Digital Cameras

By Wayne McCornwell

It isn't terribly difficult finding cheap digital cameras, but because it's such a complex piece of audiovisual equipment you'll want the quality to be reasonable too. Lots of the over-advertised inexpensive options available have hideous quality and we all need the memories we capture with our cameras to at least be rather clear on the photo!

Tips Before you Start the Search
Spend a little time talking to buddies and family about their cameras. You might end up getting valuable input from a few of them who also looked at cheap digital cameras on the market. You have got to work out precisely what you need the camera for to help you determine what sizes you should look at and if you will need one with advanced zoom features.

Megapixels
When you decide to go out and take a look at all of the inexpensive digital cameras available you must know what to go looking for. Start by taking a look at paper adverts and online to find a list of shops with great specials and sometimes lower costs than some of the most popular stores. One of the first things to have a look at is the quantity of megapixels the cameras has. The more megapixels, the better the standard of picture the camera will take, but this does not mean you have to aim for a top-of- the-range camera simply because it has so many more megapixels.

Memory Cards
Some companies sell cheap digital cameras, but then you do not receive any of the extra small things you need with the camera. One of these items is a memory card which is inserted into the camera and all your pictures will be stored on it. These cards come in several memory sizes, for example one gb. and up. The more gigs the scale of your card, the more photographs you will be able to take and store. If you're on a budget while hunting for inexpensive digital cameras then you should look for a special deal that includes a memory card. Some bargaining doesn't hurt. If you find a camera you like you need to utilize your bargaining talents and try to get a card thrown into the deal as well!

Warranty and Return
It might be wrong to think all cheap digital cameras are low quality. But because some of them are, you must keep an eye peeled for a store offering some kind of guaranty and return option. Most of the shops will offer you an extended guaranty at a fee - if you take this offer or not is all up to you and your position. The warranty and return always offers a degree of comfort just in case you get home and the camera doesn't work or something goes pear shaped after the initial few snaps! It's no longer necessary to spend all your nest egg on a good camera. The inexpensive digital cameras on the market can do the job just too but whichever model you pick is all up to you. - 32363

View Your Holiday Snaps In Seconds With A Digital Photo Album

By Marcella Finlay-Ross

Rather than storing your precious moments in a conventional photo album, you can now keep them in a digital photo album. There are many benefits to keeping your pictures this way. Being able to save space is one benefit, but there are many other benefits that I will cover in this article.

Digital cameras have taken over from film cameras and can be bought cheaply for both professional and home use. This has meant that people no longer have to worry about purchasing film for their cameras and have the benefit of being able to instantly view the pictures they have taken.

Although it is possible to store your pictures on the hard drive of your computer, there is always the risk that your computer will break down or have the memory wiped due to a virus or crash. This isn't a problem if you store your pictures online. Most photo sharing sites do all the backing up for you, meaning that never again have to suffer the upset of losing the memories of your most precious days.

The nice thing about digital photos is that you can pick and choose which pictures you want printed. Since you only have to print the photos that turned out the way you hoped, this is much cheaper than the old way of just developing everything. It's also a much more convenient way of doing things.

Rather than having to sort through film negatives in order to find the pictures you wish to have reproduced, with a digital photo album you can just point and click. It's very convenient to see a full sized image. With a digital photo album your photos are never further away than any computer with an internet connection. You can even scan in old pictures and add them to your digital album.

The websites that offer the service of online photo albums also tend to offer other services such as using your pictures to create jigsaw puzzles, as well as mugs and key rings.

Not having to leave the house in order to deliver your negatives and collect your prints is another great benefit of digital. This method is a lot quicker than having to go into a photo store and waiting for your photos to be processed.

This service is not only for the technical minded but for anyone who knows the basics of how to use computers. Anyone can benefit from this great new technology.

No matter who you wish to send the pictures to you, a digital photo album lets you share your photos with people whether they are near or far - and in just seconds. This is something that would have never been possible before such technology was created. - 32363

Digital Cameras - The Perfect Tool For Photographers

By Dan Feildman

Daily we hear about new innovations in the technology field. Whether it is computers, televisions or cars, manufacturers continually come up with new and innovative ideas. There is nowhere this can be found better than with digital cameras. For many years now the American consumer has slowly switched from film cameras to digital since digital cameras produce clearer photos and provide the photographer with instant feedback as to how the picture turned out.

Digital cameras are light years different from their predecessor. Conventional film cameras were entirely dependent on chemical processing for film development. Most film cameras were bulky and difficult to carry around in a pocket or purse. In addition their size made them difficult to handle for children. Moreover, the images they delivered were not as crisp and clear as what digital technology has provided. Fortunately we no longer are tied to film and bulky cameras, with digital technology the cameras are smaller and allow users to manipulate their digital images through photo editing software.

Even since the first digital camera came out we are constantly seeing new technology and innovation. Cameras today are smart, instant and high-tech. Fortunately they are also easy enough to use that even a child can produce high quality photos. Digital cameras are easy to figure out and with automatic focus anyone can simply point and click to get amazing results. Digital cameras are the trend of the modern times; ready to deliver all your needs, in just a few seconds.

Digital cameras work by using built-in sensors which record all the images electronically. No film is needed to capture images. Images are stored onto memory chips that are built into the camera as well as mini cards which can store as many as 2000 images. Users can easily transfer their digital images directly to their computer for printing or for editing. And, without a doubt, the best thing about digital cameras is that you can choose which photos you want to keep and which you want to discard as soon as the photo has been taken.

The new approach of the digital cameras has been tremendously successful. As the digital imaging technology is becoming better and improving each day, the digital cameras are becoming too popular. They are emerging as a high quality and high performance alternatives of the traditional cameras.

The basic components of both digital and film cameras are somewhat the same. Both cameras have a series of powerful lenses. These lenses focus the light in order to create an image of the particular object you want to shoot. The basic difference between the cameras is that in place of focusing this light on a piece of a traditional film, the digital camera focuses the light on a semiconductor device, which electronically records the light. A built-in computer then disperses this electronic info down into several digital data. All the interesting, fun and advanced digital cameras are the perfect results of this digital technology.

If you haven't already purchased a digital camera for yourself you might want to answer a few of the following questions to determine which camera will suit your needs the best. Why do you need a digital camera? Will you use it to earn a living for yourself? Will you upload your photos on the Internet and earn from them? Do you need the best quality digital camera? Are you an average user of digital camera seeking fun or a serious professional photographer? Once you have figured out your requirements you will be able to determine the type of digital camera that is best for you. - 32363

You have all the latest photography accessories and still you can't take high quality pictures.

Different Solutions To Carry Your Digital Camera And Accessories

By Sylvia Howard

You may just have acquired a new digital camera and your trigger finger is itching for the occasion to take lots of nice pictures, so buying accessories may be the last thing on your mind as you are figuring out what subject to photograph first.

Yet, the truth is that after buying your new digital camera, the camera bag might just be the most important accessory. Why is this? Well, you certainly want to be able to protect that camera that you just spent so much time and money on, and you certainly want to be able to carry your new camera around. You also need a bag that allows you to access your equipment easily and helps you organize your other equipment.

There are tons of different kinds of camera bags, so which one should you take is a matter that should be given some thought. It mainly depends on the amount of extra stuff that you will be carrying around, that is, if you will be lugging along accessories such as tripods or flashlight on a regular basis, or not.

If you only carry minimalist photography equipment besides your digital camera, such as spare batteries and a small tripod, then you could do with a camera-specific waist pack. This item will be easy to carry around hands free and your camera will always be within reach.

But if your photography skills are already verging towards the ones typical of a serious hobbyist, you will probably have a lot of accessories that you need to make your picture-taking more versatile, such as an external flashlight, or even extra lenses and a second housing if you are using SLR camera equipment. You may want to opt for a camera backpack or an aluminum case.

Most importantly, the camera bag should become an aid in carrying and protecting your digital camera and its accessories, not an obstacle, so you should avoid heavy cases if they are not suited to the kind of travel that you will do. Get a bag that will allow you to carry all your kit comfortably.

If you are just starting out taking photographs, you may only need a basic camera bag - a bag that will hold just your camera. But if you have multiple camera accessories, like multiple camera bodies and lenses, etc, you are obviously going to need a larger camera bag. You are going to want a camera bag that can at least hold those accessories that you use most often.

If you have a lot of sensitive equipment, such as several cameras, you should get a bag with dividers that are attached to Velcro strips and that can be fastened at different places inside the bag. This will further protect your digital camera accessories and give you more flexibility.

Do also make sure that you get a bag with big-tooth zippers that have closures against rain. You also wanted double-sided zippers for easy access.

Concerning the color of your new camera luggage, you may not consider that important, but it can, in fact, be a good idea to choose a light or medium tone color (such as tan, green or navy blue) to avoid overheating the equipment when you are out in the sun. It's advisable to choose a color and fabric that will also hide dirt and stains on the bag for your digital camera accessories. - 32363

By Dan Feildman

Your wedding is one of those moments in your life that you want to remember forever. Capturing that special day through photographs is one way you can keep the memories alive forever. Fortunately you have a variety of options to choose from when it is time to decide what kind of photographs you want to have taken for that important day.

Here are some tips to getting the wedding photos of a couple's dreams:

1. Choosing the right photographer In order to select a wedding photographer, a couple must first decide on the picture style that they want.

Portrait photographers typically can take both formal and informal photos; however, they more than likely will concentrate on posed or formal photos as opposed to candid ones.

Photojournalists take shots that are candid and not planned. This kind of photographer usually has experience in journalism photography.

Hobbyist photographers are those who are often a friend or a relative of the couple, and would likely offer his services for free or a very low price. It is hard to tell the kind of pictures that they will produce, and there is a risk that the pictures may not be as good as a professional's.

2. Using the right camera Professional wedding photographers usually use two basic camera types: the 35mm and the medium format. 35mm cameras may produce pictures that are a little grainy, but its usually only the photographer themselves that notice the difference. They also could use digital technology, which is preferred as the photos are ready to view much sooner and digital technology often produces better results.

3. Color or black and white photos? Most couples tend to have color photos taken yet you may want to see whether you can have some black and whites taken as they give a very dramatic effect. Black and white photos generally last longer than color photos, though color films capture the details of the event more appropriately. If the photographer you have chosen is using digital technology they can take both types easily. If not, you can have your photos all taken in color and then converted into black and white once you have viewed the images.

4, Personality of the photographer You want to make sure that the photographer you choose is friendly and sociable and has a personality type that you can work with. You want to interview your candidates and talk candidly about what your needs are and what you will expect of them. You also want to ask for references and view his portfolio of work to make sure his standards meet yours.

Following these tips will help couples get the perfect photos to preserve the memories of their special day. Great photos can be showcased proudly and passed down to future generations to cherish. - 32363

To get you kick started' there are some useful tips outlined in this article. Before you consider anything else, ask yourself what you want the camera for.

Will this be purely for casual use for special occasions, for example? As far as cost is concerned, no matter what your needs and wants are for the device, your financial resource will play a huge part in dictating the type of model you will buy. You also have to consider the power of the computer and the printer you will be connecting it to for editing and printing needs.Many computer packages available have digital cameras, software and other accessories so you can have a complete home studio system. Fortunately you won't have to pay for the image editing software when you buy a digital camera but if you are after a printer or cartridges, these will be an extra expense that will have to be catered for.

Your printer may be fine for letters but is it up to printing photos, To get the best pictures it will be necessary to set the camera to the maximum number of pixels it can operate at. Although many digital cameras have an inbuilt memory, this is usually very small so an external memory card will be necessary. The larger megapixel models require cards with more space and fortunately these are now available with up to 32 gigabytes of storage,all the most up to data cards have one thing in common, and that is they can all store hundreds of images even at very high resolution.
