Digital Cameras in general

The camera I would say is the absolute top is the Panasonic DMC-FX9. Why, as this is the first camera that has managed to withstand all the kinds of atmospheres we have been in. As we travel a lot and my dad absolutely loves taking pictures he needs a camera that is reliable. These are hard to find and he has bought several cameras but all of them have broke as they couldn't cope with the humidity in Thailand or the lens froze in Switzerland. After a long search on the Internet and in magazines he finally came across this camera. We've had it for almost two years now and it has taken pictures in Indonesia, Switzerland etc.. and it still works properly and the ...  Read the complete review

I make no apologies for placing this here. it relates to IBM Microdrives which, in many cases can be used as a direct replacement for the Compact Flash card, one of the most popular means of storing digital photos in your camera. SO JUST WHAT IS AN IBM MICRODRIVE, APART FROM A SMALL DRIVE MADE BY IBM? The Microdrive really is a minute hard disk drive approximately 1" or so square and of After Eight Mint-like thickness. It doesn't actually rotate and hum continuously like its 3.5" brothers, preferring to be stirred into action as and when needed, rather more like a sealed-in floppy disk. It does however still contain an electric motor, the ...  Read the complete review

IT IS NOT TOO LATE to avail the post Xmas bargains for your first camera or having an upgraded unit at the start of the New Year. Looking for a new digital camera is quite a time consuming task – finding the best deals on top of new models in the market (high street and on-line). Choosing a digital camera is not simple. It is not easy to pick the best one from the others because each camera user or potential buyer has different requirements, interests and levels of ability to use it. Thus, deciding to get one depends on what you want from the camera and the value for your money. It is still convenient if you have already identified some basic features of the ...  Read the complete review

I like photos, though am not especially skilled at taking them, and as such felt no need to invest in an expensive new camera at any time over the past few years. I had a 35mm that suited me fine, allowed me to produce pictures I was happy with and was not too expensive to run in terms of batteries of film. However a year and a bit ago I was growing quite jealous of my friends’ ability to post pictures from our jaunts on various website, and decided I needed to upgrade to a digital camera. It was about this time last year, and I knew a 4 month trip to Australia was coming up. This presented two conflicting points to consider: on the one hand, I wanted a camera good ...  Read the complete review

Digital cameras have been around for several years and their picture quality can now rival that of traditional 35mm cameras. The digital camera is quite different to a 35mm camera in its workings but with the exception of the LCD display it looks the same. The two main differences are that a digital camera captures the image using a CCD or a CMOS sensor and then stores the image on memory rather than film. The main progression in digital camera technology has been the resolution. A few years ago 300,000 pixels was the norm but now a good quality camera will record 3M Pixels with the top of the range models being capable of 6M. The way the digital camera captures ...  Read the complete review
