Digital Camera Review: Nikon COOLPIX L5

Tokyo – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX L5, the latest in their lineup of entry-level compact digital cameras. Combining high-quality components like a 5x zoom lens and a bright 2.5-inch LCD, and featuring the same advanced Lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR) mechanism that was originally developed for Nikon’s renowned SLR systems, the COOLPIX L5 elevates user-friendliness to new levels with its simplified operation and unrivaled results.

The powerful, 38-190mm Zoom-Nikkor lens (35mm equivalent) ensures matchless compositional freedom, from zooming in for intimate personal portraits to zooming out for expansive outdoor scenes. Lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR) technology allows the user to make the most of 5x zooming. The CCD provides enhanced precision with minimized dimensions, greatly adding to the camera’s compact portability while offering generous 7.2 effective megapixels, for the refined image clarity that’s expected of the COOLPIX family. There’s also a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD with backlight that greatly eases composing superb images and then playing them back.

The COOLPIX L5 has surprisingly compact dimensions despite the fact it is compatible with AA-size batteries in alkaline, lithium, ZR6 oxyride, rechargeable or other forms. And because such batteries are widely available around the world, COOLPIX L5 users can keep on shooting internationally without worrying about running out of batteries. Adding to the convenience are three unique Nikon image innovations that make it easier to achieve great-looking results – all directly accessible via a One-touch portrait button on the camera’s top panel. Face-priority AF* can automatically detect then achieve accurate focus on people’s faces, no matter where they are in the frame. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix can automatically detect the annoying red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash and compensate for it in-camera. And the D-Lighting function can rescue underexposed images or shots with too much backlight by creating a copy of the image but with light and detail added where necessary and well-exposed areas left exactly as they were.

A choice of 15 different Scene modes – 4 with Scene assist – automatically provides ideal settings for everything from night portraits to beach parties. Just choose the Scene mode best suited to the subject at hand, and the COOLPIX L5 automatically selects the perfect setting for exactly the picture you had in mind. The four Scene modes with Scene assist even help the user compose the shot for optimal results.

The COOLPIX L5 is also compatible with widely available SD memory cards. And 8MB of internal memory allows the user to continue shooting even when no additional memory is available, as well as easily moving images from one SD card to another. The COOLPIX L5 offers movie recording with sound in three modes: TV size (640) for viewing on TV or computers, convenient Small size (320), and Smaller size (160) for extended recording or Internet use.

The COOLPIX L5 even simplifies printing, with PictBridge capability enabling direct connection to compatible printers without the need of a computer in between. USB connectivity eases transfer of data to computers and other peripherals. Complimentary PictureProject accessory software completes total convenience by greatly simplifying the importing, editing and organizing of your images, and includes other options that add to the fun of digital photography.

* Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.

Note: Specifications, design, product name, standard accessories, and release schedule may differ by country or area.

5. Instant viewing of the picture you want to see immediately after taking it. Nothing is more satisfying than to be able to see your picture taking handiwork, immediately after taking it.

6. Digital cameras come in different pixel counts. The higher the pixel count the greater the clarity or resolution your pictures will turn out. Higher is definitely better and worth the investment.

What kinds of digital SLRs are available?

What kinds of digital SLRs are available?

There are three kinds of digital SLR systems being made as of September 2005:

1. big lenses, big sensor
2. big lenses, small sensor
3. small lenses, small sensor

We will discuss each in turn.

Big lenses, big sensor. Canon and Kodak have taken the most obvious approach to the challenge of transitioning from film to digital: build a digital sensor exactly the same size as one frame of 35mm film. The result is a chunk of silicon 24x36mm in size, which is vast compared to the sensor in a point-and-shoot digicam. The benefit of this vast sensor is reduced noise, which looks like grain, in low light/high-ISO situations. The drawback of a vast sensor is that manufacturing a flawless piece of silicon this big is very expensive. The only consumer-priced camera in this category is the 13-megapixel Canon EOS-5D ($2950; check amazon.com for the latest price). If you have a strong back and an unlimited budget, the 16-megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II ($7000; available at amazon), is a great choice. It is probably the best digital camera made and produces image quality that rivals medium format film (e.g., 6x6cm Hasselblad). The only other full-frame digital SLRs made were the discontinued Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n and SLR/c bodies. The Kodaks were cheaper than the Canon but not quite as functional and the fact that they were discontinued is a good illustration of why you want to buy a digital SLR from a market leader. I own a 5D and have written a full review of the Canon EOS 5D.

Big lenses, small sensor. In order to keep the cost of the body within a range of $700-1500 and allow photographers to use their old 35mm system lenses most digital SLRs fall into this category. The front of the body has the same lens mount as an old film SLR. The back of the body has a sensor that is smaller than the 24x36mm standard frame of an old film SLR. The result is a camera that looks the same as the old film camera but multiplies the magnification of all the lenses. Having a smaller sensor is like cutting the center out of a drugstore proof print. You don't capture all the information on the left and right and top and bottom of the frame. It is as though you took the picture with a telephoto lens. The viewfinder has been adjusted so that what you see optically is what is captured in the digital file. If you're coming from the film world you will need to do a mental adjustment. A 50mm normal perspective lens on a big lens/small sensor camera behaves like an 80mm telephoto lens on a film camera. A 20mm ultra wide-angle lens behaves like a 30-32mm slightly wide angle lens on a film camera. Nearly all the popular digital SLRs fall into this category and their various merits will be discussed below.

Small lenses, small sensor. The biggest problem with the "big lens, small sensor" situation is that photographers are forced to cart around lenses that are much larger, heavier, and, theoretically, more expensive, than they need to be. A big heavy Canon telephoto lens is big and heavy mostly because it is built to cast an image circle large enough to cover a 24x36mm frame but the Canon EOS 30D body's sensor is only 15x22mm in size. Any engineer would look at this "big lens, small sensor" situation and say "Why not come up with a standard reasonable sensor size and then make lenses that are just large enough to cover that sensor with an image?" That's precisely what the Four Thirds consortium did. Olympus and Kodak seem to be the originators of the standard but Fuji, Panasonic, Sanyo, and Sigma have signed on as well according to www.four-thirds.org. This seemed like a great idea at the time (2002) but four years later only three Four Thirds system bodies have been built, all by Olympus, and only a handful of lenses, all from Olympus and Sigma.

If you have a a robust checking account and/or a lot of Canon EOS film camera lenses an unlimited budget the "full-frame" Canon EOS-5D (big lenses/big sensor; medium weight; $2900) is the obvious choice. If you don't need state-of-the-art performance and value compactness above all, the Olympus E System is a reasonable choice (see my review of the Olympus E1 for more detail; the current best buy is a complete starter kit with the E-500 for $790 from amazon). More than 90 percent of photographers, however, will find that the engineering compromise of "big lenses/small sensor" fits their budget and needs. This has led to the introduction of lenses that have the big lens mount for a 35mm film camera but optically cover only the small sensor of a mid-range digital SLR. These are sold as "digital-only lenses" or "digital camera lenses" but in fact they won't work on a full-frame digital SLR--the corners of the image would be black. Canon denotes these lenses as "EF-S", Nikon as "DX".

Digital Camera Review - Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti

Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti - Specifications
The latest top model, the Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti, aims at continuing the IXUS success story. The camera's specifications show it is far from an average entry-level compact camera. A resolution of 10.0 Megapixels, a titanium housing, an ultra-compact 3x optical zoom lens, Canon's new DIGIC III image processor with advanced Noise Reduction technology, and the advanced Face Detection AF/AE are all features that ensure the Canon 900 Ti stands out from the crowd. Face Detection AF/AE is a new technology by Canon that automatically detects faces in an image, and optimizes focus and exposure accordingly.

Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti camera review : September 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of the IXUS camera, which gave Canon a good reason to celebrate. Ten years of IXUS is without question an impressive achievement in today's rapidly changing camera world. Ten years ago, Canon embarked on their journey with an analogue IXUS camera, which proved to be the start of an impressive line of analogue and digital IXUS models. During the party, Canon introduced no less than three new IXUS models, among which the Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti camera. This new top model from the Digital IXUS series is equipped with the latest technology, and as one may expect of an IXUS camera, the Canon 900 Ti features a truly stylish design.

Canon IXUS digital camera concept
The compact Canon IXUS 900 Ti was introduced worldwide in mid-September. Visitors of the Photokina 2006 were able to thoroughly inspect the new camera, as well as hold it to their heart's content. Although it cannot be escaped, we must conclude Canon is one of only very few manufacturers that have actually succeeded in maintaining their leading market position. It are the IXUS cameras in particular that appeal to a broad audience, and the fact that Canon have managed to do so for ten consecutive years should certainly be regarded as remarkable. During the party, which was held in a trendy London neighbourhood, we also heard from Mogens Jensen; head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. According to Mogens Jensen, a staggering 33 million IXUS cameras have already been purchased. This means in the past ten years, an IXUS camera was sold every 10 seconds!

Canon IXUS 900Ti - DIGIC III image processor
For a while now, Canon have been successfully equipping their cameras with the image processor developed by themselves. The Canon IXUS 900 Ti features Canon's DIGIC III (DIGital Imaging Core) image processor, which has already reached its third generation. Naturally, the new processor has been considerably improved from its predecessor. Significant improvements are noticeably faster response times, support of the Face Detection AF/AE technique and an advanced noise reduction. In addition to this, the DIGIC III image processor allows the application of faster internal working memory in the camera. DDR-SDRAM memory enables a doubling of the data throughput rate, which results in an instantly improved performance.

Canon Digital 900 Ti camera review
All in all, a very interesting Digital IXUS to review. The Canon Digital IXUS series cameras have already been enjoying a fair share of attention for years, and the introduction of the Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti is likely to see to it that this will continue. We had the Canon IXUS 900 Ti in our office for quite some time, and were able to test it extensively. Just how the Canon Digital IXUS 900Ti performed in practice, and whether or not it will contribute to the IXUS success, can be read in the following Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti digital camera review.

Top 5 Top Digital Cameras for Teens

From Michael Carr

Teenagers can be the hardest people to buy for. Nothing is ever cool enough. But teens love digital cameras. They are looking for cameras that are compact, very hip and simply look cool. Oh, and they should take pictures or something.

Consult this list to be sure you get a smile instead of a sneer when you give that teen his or her next gift.

1) Ultrathin Digital Camera

This camera has a nice pricetag, costing under $80, and it comes in either blue or red metallic colors, sure to please a teen. (Hey, why not match their camera to their Game Boy Advance, if they have one?).

It won't take the best pictures with just 1.3 megapixels, but teens can e-mail images to their friends (which is all they probably want to do anyway).

The coolest aspect of this camera is its size: it is about the size of a credit card. Major coolness points!

2) Pentax Ultra Compact Optio S4 Digital Camera

If your teen is a more serious photog, or you really want to splurge on a digital camera that is both cool and happens to take great pictures, this is an ideal choice.

The camera is tiny enough to fit into a breathmint tin, and yet it packs some serious punch when it comes to taking pictures. This tiny package boasts a 4.2-megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom.

The camera also comes with various shooting modes, and can record more than four hours of audio.

3) Aipyek PenCam Mega 1.3

The "pen" style gets many funky points. This camera also serves as a Webcam and video camera, but records 1.3 megapixel images. Kids will love the size (about 1"x1"x3").

4) Oregon Scientific 3-Megapixel Digital Camera

Get some major (and sincere) "snaps" ("thanks" in adult English) from that teen with this cool camera that comes in metallic blue or gray.

It has 3 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom, not too shabby. It is also about the size of a deck of cards. It is truly a lot of camera for the under $100 pricetag.

5) Philips Keychain Digital Camera

Imagine this: the teen has a car, she or he has a keychain, and now he or she can pop this fun digital camera right onto the keychain.

How cool is that? Quite! The smallest digital camera in the world, this under-$20 camera also isn't too shabby, all things considered. It actually shoots 2 megapixels in this tiny size.

It can even be used as a web cam or for shooting video clips. Awesome!

Nikon Digital Cameras - Coolpix

Even though Nikon entered the camera world by 1948, today its digital cameras are well known everywhere. The company started small but always dreamed big. Here is a historical review of Nikon.

Nikon was one of the late starters in the camera world. It established itself after the end of the World War II with the launch of the Nikon I in the year 1948. It took Nikon three years to develop this camera. From its launch, the Nikon I had a lot of problems. This was rectified by the company and another model called the Nikon M was introduced in 1949 which was well accepted by the market.

During the 1950's, Leica (a German make) had the best 35 mm rangefinder cameras. Nikon wanted to surpass Leica, and its pursuit, it came up with the Nikon SP in 1957. This was considered to be one of the best Nikon cameras available at that time.

After this, Nikon continued to innovate and launched the Nikon F single lens reflex (SLR) camera in 1959. The Nikon F set the industry standard for SLR's and became the hot favorite of photo journalists and professional photographers at that time. With the Nikon F, Nikon managed to surpass Leica and became the market leader in this category.

Then, in the year 1980, Nikon hit another milestone. It designed the Nikon F3 which was to be used by NASA astronauts in outer space expeditions. This camera needed to be big enough so that astronauts wearing bulky gloves could easily handle it and at the same time it had to be strong enough to work perfectly in zero gravity situations and withstand the strong rays of the Sun. NASA was very happy with the job done by Nikon and it got more cameras designed for itself in the coming years from the company.

During the 1990s, Nikon continued to innovate by bringing out better and more advanced SLR cameras. It came up with the NIKONOS RS, the world's first underwater auto focus SLR camera in the year 1992. The company also joined hands with Fuji Films and introduced the E2/E2S digital still cameras in 1995. As far as digital cameras were concerned, Nikon entered the digital arena in the year 1997 with the launch of its first digital camera, the COOLPIX100.

Today, the company has expanded itself further, and even opened factories in distant lands such as Poland and the Netherlands. It has entered new areas such as binoculars and telescopes and eyewear. Nikon is also considered to be one of the good makes as far as digital cameras are concerned. Over its 50 year history, Nikon has done a fascinating task of constantly innovating itself and bringing about new technologies in the market. here are the latest cameras by Nikon:

Digital SLR Cameras (D-Series): For advanced, professional users.

Coolpix Cameras: Ranging from 3-5 mega pixels, these are great for everyday users.

Reviews of Sony Alpha 100 / A100 DSLR

As Sony's first entry into the digital SLR space, the 10.2 megapixel Alpha A100 has a lot of expectations to live up to. While it is a nicely constructed entry level unit that performed well in a number of our imaging tests, it is let down considerably by the default lens, which generated high levels of chromatic aberration. We also noticed quite a cool tone to a lot of our shots, even after adjusting the white balance appropriately.

One of the best elements of this model is the design. The A100 is weighted perfectly and sits very nicely in the hands, while the thick, rubberised grip is comfortable and most of the controls are easily accessed. We had mixed feeling about the control layout. Sony has combined all the major imaging options onto a single dial located on the top left hand corner of the unit. This quite unconventional approach leaves the camera's back a little sparse, and makes for a rather simplistic interface. This is great for new users, but may leave experienced photographers missing a more traditional setup. We also had an issue with both this dial, and the main function wheel; they are very stiffly mounted. On most other SLRs the wheels can be manipulated with a single finger, but on the A100 you have to adjust your whole grip to change things, which can rapidly become a pain. This issue aside, all the controls are well labelled and intuitive to use, so most novices should easily master the interface in a matter of hours.

In our image quality tests the A100's results were similarly mixed. Imatest awarded it a score of 1771 for sharpness, which is a great result and more than satisfied our expectations of the new crop of 10.2 megapixel sensors. Our shots exhibited almost no visible fringing and were extremely sharp for the most part.

However its score of .162% for chromatic aberration was far less impressive. For any camera this is a very poor result, and for an SLR it is even more so. It was clearly visible as a red and purple halo ringing certain objects towards the exterior of our shots. We originally put it down to a fault in the camera, but further testing with multiple lenses revealed the default lens was the culprit. The A100 ships with an 18-70mm lens by default, and an 18-200mm lens if you buy the dual lens kit. When testing with the extended lens the problem was much less pronounced, although still visible to some degree. It is a real shame Sony didn't bundle better quality glass with the A100 as it is a big limiting factor.

Its performance in other areas, while marginally better, was not as impressive as its sharpness result. Scoring 9.97 in Imatest's colour test, it wasn't quite as impressive as some other SLRs we've looked at recently such as Olympus' E-330. We can largely attribute this result to the camera's colour balance, which was visibly skewed in most of our shots. Comparing identical pictures with other SLRs in our offices revealed that the A100's pictures all had quite a cool tone to them. It was most noticeable in patches of white but affected all the other shades. Even using manual white balance or adjusting to the appropriate preset didn't fix this, and it was a big disappointment.

The A100's noise performance was quite solid, but again not particularly impressive. At ISO 100 it scored .47% in Imatest, which is slightly ahead of some of the best compacts we've seen recently, but doesn't compare with many SLRs that score .37% or less. At this level noise was very slightly visible at big magnifications, but it was extremely fine and won't be an issue unless you expand your shots to poster sizes. As we increased the sensitivity though, it began to become more prominent. At ISO 400 the noise, while still fine and white, was quite evident and created a noticeable degradation in sharpness. At ISO 800 and ISO 1600 it began to become visible as chroma noise (colourful blotches) and we wouldn't recommend using the A100 at these levels.

From one type of noise to another, our audible noise tests also revealed another issue with the A100; the motor is quite noisy and a little slow. When compared to competing units from Canon and Olympus it took slightly longer to adjust focus and was noticeably louder when doing so. This paralleled the shutter and mirror movement, which was also a little louder than normal. This isn't a big issue, but is noteworthy nonetheless.

With regards to features, the A100 is a fairly standard entry level SLR. It offers ISO sensitivities up to 1600, manual, custom and preset white balance modes, six scene modes and a number of auto focus types including spot and wide. The continuous shot mode is quite reasonable, taking 3.3 shots per second, and is backed up by both exposure and white balance bracketing. There is also Sony's new anti-shake technology, which we are pleased to say operated excellently. It is great that more and more SLRs are coming packaged with this type of technology, as it makes a big difference when shooting free-hand at high zoom levels. Sony's implementation on the A100 is about on par with Panasonic's efforts over the last year, and really helps keep shots crisp and blur free.

Sony has implemented a few other new features on the A100 as well, most notably dust reduction technology. Prior to this release, only Olympus had really successfully tackled dust reduction in SLRs and while Sony's effort isn't quite as good, it is still very effective. It works by shaking the sensor after you power down the unit, and goes a long way to rectifying dust problems, which are often a big issue for SLR users who regularly change lenses.

The other new feature is Sony's dynamic range optimization, which theoretically helps balance shots that are over or under exposed. Our testing revealed that while it did make a very marginal difference it isn't really noticeable unless you do a side by side comparison. The only situation where it proved to be a little more useful was in shots with high levels of backlighting.

Overall the A100 is a competent but not outstanding unit. It sports a very nice design and its pictures are quite sharp, but the colour balance is a little off and there are extremely high levels of chromatic aberration with the default lens.

Review Olympus E-330 / E-300

Thursday, 22 June 2006 -- Olympus has today announced firmware updates for the E-330 and E-300 digital SLR's. The most interesting of the two must be the E-330 update which enables Auto Focus in Live View B Mode (via the AEL/AFL button) this appears to operate in the same way as the Panasonic DMC-L1, by dropping the mirror (blanking the Live View), focusing and then returning the Live View afterwards. The E-300 update is said to improve exposure accuracy for pictures taken in Macro mode with Spot metering. These updates can be downloaded and installed automatically via Olympus Studio or Olympus Master. Review and links ...

Learn about Digital Camera Memory Cards

Digital cameras are revolutionizing the world of home and professional photography, but they are married to memory cards just as traditional cameras are married to film. Making the best use of memory cards can have a very big impact on your enjoyment of digital photography. Choosing the right memory card for the job can be as important as choosing the right film for a traditional camera.

If you are new to digital cameras, the digital camera memory cards are the most important parts of any digital camera, without which they may not work at all. So if you are handling a digital camera or planning a purchase, you must know more about the memory cards used in these cameras.

Something many new digital camera owners find counter-intuitive is that bigger is not always better with a digital memory card. The actual response speed of your digital camera can depend greatly on the memory card it is using. The speed that your camera writes new pictures to the digital memory card is partially dependant on the transfer speed of the digital camera but is also dependant on factors in the memory card itself. Memory cards that have ?buffers? can take the data into a faster type of memory and then transfer the data from there to the slower ?flash memory? which provides the main storage of almost all digital camera memory cards. Some digital camera provide their own buffer memory to allow you to take your next picture while the previous picture is being transferred to the memory card.

When you delete an image from the memory card of your digital camera, the flash memory is ?reconfigured? because of special issues having to do with how this memory stores data. Normally this is an issue that you don't have to worry about at all. However, if you have a very large memory card and delete an image, you may experience a several minute delay while ?house cleaning? is performed on the memory card. Because of this, do not delete images while you are taking pictures. Instead wait until you are at home, your hotel or in the car before reviewing your pictures and deleting the ones you don't want. Smaller cards take less time for this ?house cleaning? so many experienced digital camera owners will choose to have more than one medium sized memory card instead of one very large one.

Now the question arises-how many memory cards are enough for your camera? On an average basis, you must have at least two memory cards for your digital camera. That is, if you are using it in a normal and average fashion.

Most professional photographers choose to carry about four to six memory cards. This helps them shoot smoothly and constantly. If they run out of memory, they just take the loaded card out and insert the fresh one. Because memory cards can malfunction (just like traditional film canisters, but not as often), you should choose to have at least two memory cards at all times. By having at least two cards, you can work with one and keep the other in reserve for emergency. Having at least one extra memory card for your digital camera will also ensure that you have the backup protection needed if you run out of space on your first card or in the possible event of the first card malfunctioning.

The next important issue is how to take proper care of these memory cards. The memory cards may seem like some small and fragile piece of technology, but they are actually fairly sturdy. The flash memory is encased in a stiff plastic shell which can withstand normal wear and handling. At one end of the memory card is either a set of little holes or copper strips. These are the sensitive part of the card. Any voltage source or a large jolt of static could corrupt the memory and probably cause permanent damage to the card. When the card is not in your camera, it is best to keep it stored in a protective case or in your camera case. Putting it in your pocket could cause a short (from your keys perhaps) or dirty the electrical contracts. There have been instances where the users have misbehaved greatly with them and the memory cards have yet survived and continued to function correctly. But, this does not mean that one should not care for them.

When it is time to transfer your data from the memory card to your PC, it is best to have a memory card reader, or have a PC with a built-in reader. The data cables provided with most digital cameras are very slow compared to the speed of a ?direct reader? and it is often easier to review, copy and delete images from a memory card when using a reader instead of through the data cable connection.

When traveling, X-Rays have never been shown to corrupt the data on, or damage, a digital camera memory card. The memory card is also not magnetic in nature so the motors in the X-Ray machine's conveyor belt should not be able to cause any harm either.

Armed with knowledge comes the power to benefit from that knowledge. If you have learned something new about digital memory cards, hopefully you will benefit by enjoying your digital camera more and finding more opportunities to take great pictures.

Taking a best picture of Your Pet

Sometimes we want to memorise our pet since it's born or funny things that they did. But somehow when that camera comes out they run and hide or they just seem to always be pointed away from the camera when you push the button. Well do not miss this chances, learn these tips that help you have a better chance at getting great pictures of your pet.

1. Don’t try to get them looking into the camera. If there is someone around who can play with your pet just get a shot of them playing with someone else. You can have the photo with the person and the pet or get close to crop the person out of the shot.

2. If your pet always runs away from you every time you pull the camera out try leaving the camera sit out where it can be seen. Take photos of other things in the home and try turning the flash off.

3. Don’t wake your pet out of deep sleep and attempt to coerce him into performing for the camera. It won’t happen. Try to take photos of your pet during their routine playtime.

4. If there is enough daylight to take photos then turn the flash off. My cat has learned to close his eyes just before the flash goes off. He learned that little trick quick too! Many times a camera flash is just too bright for them, that’s why they point away from you when they know that you’re taking photos.

5. Be prepared to grab your camera and take photos when your pet is ready, read “doing something cute.” I’ve been able to get some of the best photos of my cat when he’s just doing something on his own.

Remember don’t put pressure on your animal to perform for the camera. Think more on the lines of catch them in their natural habitat. Our pets want to make us happy and you can easily confuse them by pressuring them to look good for the camera. Also be prepared to take a whole lot of bad photos for that one really good one.

Nikon Coolpix P1

Nikon's P1 and P2 wireless digital cameras are easy to use and compact in size. The weakness is wi-fi can be hard to set up and the battery life is too short. This is the first camera with built in wireless connectivity, the buzz about this camera was hardcore. This is one of the few cameras that delivers advanced camera quality images, yet is easy enough for amateurs to master. Well ... this is a great, easy-to-use camera that takes incredible pictures and travels well.

Description

* 8.0 megapixels (Coolpix P1) or 5.1 megapixels (Coolpix P2)
* 3.5x optical zoom
* Large, clear 2.5-inch LCD screen
* Uses Secure Digital (SD) memory card, with 32 MB internal memory
* Still and movie shooting modes

Guide Review - Nikon Coolpix P1 and P2 Wi-Fi Digital Camera

For the first time, Nikon married two great technologies: digital photography and wireless connectivity. While the massive hubbub about this camera was perhaps more than it could deliver by the time the camera hit shelves, the P1 and P2 cameras are still among the best additions to the Nikon line.
Using Wi-Fi

The most discussed feature about this camera is the wi-fi connectivity. This camera can work with your local area network, so you can zing images wirelessly to your PC, a printer connected to your PC or network-enabled printer (with an adaptor). You can even photograph and automatically transfer all images live as you shoot.

The main issue is that it isn't easy to set up the wi-fi. Once you can overcome that initial hurdle, using it is a breeze.
Look and Feel

The camera is comfortable to hold and easy to carry. It is compact, despite its nice megapixel levels (8 megapixels on the P1 and 5.1 on the P2). It weighs just 6 ounces before you install the battery and memory card.
Great for Beginners

Although many easy-to-use cameras come at the cost of image quality, that doesn't happen here. Even a rookie can maneuver the controls easily, yet the camera delivers fine images.

The camera features lots of automatic settings such as scene modes. The menu is simple to use, and you can choose between the traditional menu or an icon-based menu. There is also a handy help button.

Digital Photos And Digital Cameras - Advantages

here is no debate that digital cameras are going to take over the photography market and with time we will see less and less film cameras sold and used. It is beneficial to take a moment and try to list the advantages of digital cameras and digital photos and put some order in why everybody likes them so much. In this article you will find that list. Digital photos and digital cameras have many advantages and allow many new usages that were not possible with film. Here are a few:

Low photo cost: Photos taken with a digital camera literally cost nothing. The photos are kept in erasable memory and thus can always be discarded at no cost. Viewing the photos is immediate and does not cost anything (there is no film development cost). Also the photos you would like to keep can be copied to digital media such as a computer’s hard disk. With storage prices going down the cost of saving a photo on disk is practically zero.

The capacity: With ever growing storage capacities digital cameras today can hold hundreds and sometimes thousands of photos on a single media. You can always have a few more in your pocket and changing is very fast. The result is that a digital camera has practically infinite capacity. You can shoot as many photos as you want and at the end of the day just dump them on your computer’s disk. There is no time lost changing film and there is no photo opportunities lost due to lack of film or reserving film for later.

The feedback: One of the great advantages of digital cameras is instant feedback. Almost all digital cameras include a small LCD screen. Once a photo is shot you can go back and watch it on that screen. The ability to see how the photo looks like results in better photos. If the photo is not good you can take another one. Being able to see the photos on the spot results in an educated decision how to fix a photo or how to compose it better. It takes a lot of the guessing away from photography.

New shooting angles: With digital cameras you can take photos without your eye glued to the viewfinder. Overhead shots where you raise the camera over your head are much easier since you can still see what the camera is shooting by just looking up at its LCD screen. You are not limited anymore to angles where you can look through the viewfinder – you can shoot from any angle that the LCD is visible from. You can always shoot blindly like photographers used to do with film cameras.

Correcting photos: With digital cameras photos can be corrected using photo editing software. Some correction abilities are built-in the cameras but many more are available as software packages for your PC. Such corrections include red eye removal, contrast enhancements and more.

Changing conditions: With digital cameras the settings of the sensor can be changed instantly for each photo taken. With a click of a button the camera can be put in an indoor or outdoor mode, low light, night photography etc. Some cameras will automatically sense the scenario and set the sensor mode accordingly. This is literally like changing a roll of film to the optimized one for every photo you shoot – the best ISO, color features and more.

Longevity: Digital photos never lose their quality. A digital photo will be identical today and in 500 years. As long as you refresh the digital media every now and then and back it up your photos will literally last forever with no quality degradation. Digital photos do not turn yellow, they do not fold or get torn.
