mayerhead says "The Cyber-shot is a good digital camera with some limitations" about Sony - Cybershot W70 Digital Camera

mayerhead — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:22:11 GMT

The Sony Cyber-shot W70 is a relatively good option for the average or beginner digital camera owner. It offers several different photo options for different types of lighting. It's very easy to use. Compared to other cameras when I was comparison shopping, it seemed to be the best deal with the best features for the money. This included zoom, video recording, and a well lit and large viewing screen. By now it may be more obscelete than other cameras as it has been about 2 years since I purchased it.

It has certain limitations which are slightly frustrating. These include the inability to take a black and white photo even though it offers sephia and the video recording option does include a black and white feature. It also comes with a bland software management tool for uploading to the computer. It doesn't allow you to resize or manipulate photos in other aspects, which requires transfering the picture to another program such as Photoshop. It also fails to allow you to change the name...

vova says "cool is cool" about Canon PowerShot G9 Digital Camera

vova — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:42:22 GMT

The 3-inch LCD is reasonably easy to see in bright sunlight and has a wide viewing angle, but on playback, images tend to look a bit softer with more blown-out highlights than they actually do--you may want to hold off deleting images until you view them on a full-size display. Though the viewfinder remains larger and more usable than most, I think I was happier with the smaller LCD and bigger optical model on the G7. Despite its decent movie-capture quality, without the ability to zoom the lens during video, I find the feature less useful on the G9 than on other cameras.

Keddie says "CoolPix S550 has been the best investment I have made." about Nikon - S550 Digital Camera

Keddie — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:39:58 GMT

The Nikon CoolPix S550 has been the best investment I have made. This camera takes great quality pictures. No grainy texture, clear, colorful pictures. The camera also come with a vibration reduction feature as well as it will tell you if someone has closed their eyes during the take. It has a 2.5 LCD screen which is perfect and the compact size of the camera is awesome, I can put this in my purse and go, no bulky camera to lug around on vacation or mini trips. We have used this camera for softball, football, basketball and it takes great action photos too.My daughter has taken this camera from me and I cannot seem to get it back, she takes pictures and post them on her facebook page.

My rating is 5 stars!!!!! Economical, easy to download pictures on computer or take to have printed anywhere. If I can use this camera, anyone can! This is a great purchase for anyone to make. Give it as a gift, they will love it!!!

ekavet245 says "Flip Video was my surprise find of the year." about Flip Video Camcorder Ultra Series

ekavet245 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16:19 GMT

The photo department I work for recently purchased a Flip Video Ultra HD . I took the camera out for a test run and was simply amazed at the HD quality.

The Ultra HD is totally automatic. The camera even adjusts well in low light situations. I own a Sanyo Xacti waterproof E2 video /still camera and the quality of the Ultra HD video simply overpowers that of the Sanyo.

A few problems exist though: Fingerprints are a main concern. I find myself constantly wiping the lens. There is no lens cover and the sides of the camera get heavily marked up with fingerprints.

I am only able to insert the camera into my desktop computer. It's hard to find an available port on my laptop that will accomodate the Flip Video. The camera has to be positioned a certain way in order for it to be inserted into the computer.

There is an optional USB accessory cable which allows the user to overcome that obstacle.

There is an optional waterproof casing . The batteries get recharged when inserted into the...

bcarlson15210 says "Great camera. I love it!" about Canon - EOS 450D Rebel XSi Digital Camera

bcarlson15210 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:50:04 GMT

I recently got the Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black) and I'm very happy with it. My previous camera (a 6 MP Canon Digital Rebel) had broken and I was heartbroken without it.

I'm not a professional photographer, but I take thousands of photos. I run a ferret shelter, and to properly photograph ferrets, you need something lightweight, fast and easy to use. I can do anything from an artsy low-light shot to a super fast "action" shot. Ferrets move quickly, and unlike other cameras, this one can capture more than their tail as they leave the scene.

The photos are crisp, high-quality photos with lots of megapixels to play with. It might take you a few days to get comfortable with it, but I'm sure you will love it as much as I do.

For the money, this camera and lens is one of the best cameras around. The "kit" lens that comes with the camera does a fine job for what I need. I'm sure with a better lens it would do even more, but this...

dmc1551 says "Outstanding Digital Camera" about Sony - DSC-W290 Digital Camera

dmc1551 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:37:35 GMT

I am not the best picture taker But with this camera I can do not wrong

It has optical steady shot so if I shake while taking the picture I still get a great picture

There is a Face Detection \ Smile Shutter Button on top that allows me to turn off and on when I want. When on it will look for the smiled which is great to have

Wide-Angle Lens which is really nice to have

Intelligent Scene Recognitions will pick out the best light for you and give you a great picture

It has HD moive with stereo sound for short movies and there is easy play back mode to look at you shots which I have never had trouble using because it is so easy to do

The only draw back is the memory stick is smaller and you need a adapter for it to use on your computer or you have to use the plug that come with the camera that allows you to plug you camera right to the computer. but that what hapen when new and improved items.

Other then that it is a great camera and takes great pictures I had family...

adrenaline09 says "Olympus X-815, not worth money" about Olympus - X-815 Digital Camera

adrenaline09 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:54:30 GMT

The Olympus X-185 is a ninety dollar camera "With 7.1MP for optimal clarity, 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom you can get up close and frame the perfect shot." It runs on two double A batteries which must be constantly changed and there are many glitches that can occur. One of which is the screens pixels constantly disorienting themselves so it is very difficult to take a picture.

Quality of the Olympus deteriorates very quickly, and although it's silver, plastic sleek image can be very appealing, it is very misleading. The quality of images taken are not as high as others but are still at around a nine, it's the quality of the actual camera you have to worry about. Even though the camera has been dropped, I have first handedly experienced other cameras dropped twice as many times that still work in good condition.

Overall, this is a low quality product that is somewhat overpriced, and not meant for long term use.

KaycieStar says "Overall the best camera ever!" about Nikon - D90 Digital Camera

KaycieStar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:40:05 GMT

This is by far the best camera ever, in my opinion. It's a no-brainer. It actually tells you what the best settings are. It fits perfect in your hand. Even professionals use this camera, and with it you can take pictures just like a professional. The photos are amazing. Long ago you had to waste film with continuous shot-taking in order to get the perfect timing on an action shot. But with this camera you can take continuous shots and simply delete the ones around it that you don't want. I looove digital memory cards, but the best pictures come out on film, with one exception- this camera! You can have the best of both worlds- film quality and the convienence of money-saving memory cards that you can use over and over again. This camera is just unbelivable in every way- from it's ability to take gorgeous pictures even in dark settings to an amazing abundance of attachements that you can buy for it- to make it personal for your specific needs. The camera itself is beautiful and high quality....

msmith5400 says "Kodak Easy Share Z612" about Kodak - EasyShare Z612 Digital Camera

msmith5400 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:51:23 GMT

I find myself needing to shoot meetings in typical fluorescent light, without flash. I gave up on pocketable point-and-shoots. I've only had it a date, but this seems to me to live up to the highly rated Panasonic Lumix, then some (can zoom during video, etc.) So today, fresh out of the box, my success rate in such a meeting was probably 80 percent, compared to 40 percent before, thanks to image stabilization

Kodak has simplicity down pat, and each generation improves on the last in that regard (this is, um, my fourth Kodak digicam in the past six years.) I'll be anxious to read the "pro critic" reviews, but ... I believe I've made the right choice!

This camera is awesome, I would recomend it to anyone of my freinds or family members.My aunt, uncles, cousins, grandparents, mom, dad, brother, sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, best freind, teacher, even my dog!

Thanks for letting me share!

vova says "cool is cool" about Nikon COOLPIX L18 Digital Camera

vova — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:09:53 GMT

One of the fastest point-and-shoots we’ve seen, the Nikon Coolpix L18 has much to offer, including a huge 3-inch LCD, 23MB of built-in storage, and the ability to zoom while shooting video. It comes with its share of caveats, too, but overall we recommend this camera.

Easy on the Eyes, Easy to Use

The L18 is roughly the same size and shape as the Panasonic DMC-LS80 but with more rounded corners and fewer buttons. Also, the zoom lever is on the back rather than around the shutter. The camera mode and playback buttons are inconveniently placed on top, rather than the back of the camera. We also wish the memory card slot were on the side instead of the bottom.

We love the 3-inch LCD. It’s large, sharp, and bright, and you can choose whether you want to start with a standard welcome screen, show a favorite picture, or display menu options as icons or text. Most users will want to select text, because many of the icons are unfamiliar.

With only a handful of controls, commands, and menus,...

pjjurg says "Love, love, love it." about Canon - EOS 400D/Rebel Xti Digital Camera

pjjurg — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:49:51 GMT

I received this camera as a gift from my husband. I was shocked and soooo excited. I like to use my camera for various reasons. I am an avid scrapbooker and love my pictures to take center stage. I have a son who is into multiple sports and as a mom I can't get enough pictures of him. I used to take my kids in for photos at the stores or photography places, but now I am fully capable with a camera like this to not have this added expense and headaches getting him ready, etc. I combine this with adobe photoshop, and good photo paper: and I couldn't ask for more. Normally when I make a purchase I just buy something with the exact features I believe I need to save money. My husband on te other hand likes to buy the best. In this case, he did and I am extremely happy that he did. I am so excited to learn the added features and this camera with the extra photo lens will last me a long time.

alisonk613 says "Great Value- A little clunky" about GE - A730 Digital Camera

alisonk613 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:44:04 GMT

I bought the GE A730 from Amazon online for about a hundred dollars. I wanted a cute red digital camera and I had a gift certificate from amazon so I bought it without really looking at it from another store. I received the camera and it is adorable. The instructions were easy to use and understand. I was able to figure out what all the buttons, pictures, and symbols were meant to do. The camera came in a very nice black and red soft velvety case that allows the camera to be safe in my purse (with my keys shaking about). The negative about this camera is the size and batteries. With all the cameras that have wall chargers or docks now, I hate having to buy batteries every time I want to use this camera. The batteries do not last long, maybe two or three days of picture taking. I have been using lithium batteries and they last for at least 2 months. But the size is clunky because of the batteries, but the pictures are perfect.

Goforit7 says "Great camera easy to use" about Olympus - 510 UZ Digital Camera

Goforit7 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:44:37 GMT

I was lucky to have purchased my camera on sale which made it an even better deal. It's simple to use and reviewing or deleting pictures you have just taken is an easy two step process. This camera will take pictures antomatically or one can adjust the aperture and shutter speed. There is also an option to shoot videos with sound; this is a great option at sporting events. The camera has a macro mode for close-ups and it also allows one to over or under expose a picture for special effects. Then it has a scenes mode that allows the camera to better adjust to the type of picture/s being taken such as landscapes, sporting events, night time, low light, bright areas, and close-ups, etc. The camera also has a power save feature where it will shut itself off if not used for a 3 minute period. This camera will also let one review pictures one at a time or one select the slide show option where it will go through the pictures automatically. The camera will allow one to set a date...

Cheriah says "CanonPowerShot A700 Digital Camera-you won't be disappointed! " about Canon - PowerShot A700 Digital Camera

Cheriah — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:26:04 GMT

The Canon Power Shot A700 Digital camera is really impressive. The zoom is great, the pictures come in clear, and the macro is automatic and takes fantastic pictures. I'm really pleased with my new Cannon Power Shot. It's small and takes pictures! The cool green hue is just an added bonus! Very easy to use (it even has an "easy" setting); lots of great features.

I received the Canon Power Shot A700 Digital camera as a gift from my significant other due to the fact that I have 2 children and I want to capture every moment and experience that they endure and he meaning my significant other was tired or purchasing and developing a onetime use camera several at a time.

What's more is that I do have a home computer and I can take as many pictures with the Canon Power Shot A700 Digital camera and download them on my computer so as to emptying the memory card and being...

Dread5 says "What More Can You Say Its Small Durable Light Nice" about Sony Cyber-shot W290 Digital Camera

Dread5 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:45:38 GMT

in silver, black, blue, and bronze, the W290 doesn't stray from Sony's typical W-series Cyber-shot appearances. It's an attractive camera in a pocketable body, but with some weight to it, so you likely won't forget it's on you. The silver model we tested noticeably retains fingerprints all over the body, something to keep in mind if that sort of thing bugs you. Actually, if there's one minor nitpick with the body design it's that the W290's front has concentric ridges adding a slight texture that improves grip, but unfortunately also traps grease and dirt so your fingerprints are embedded as soon as you touch the camera and they aren't easily wiped off. A lock on the all-too-easily-opened battery/Memory Stick compartment would be nice, too, so I guess that's two minor complaints.

Sony managed to get almost all of the controls on to the back of the camera without making it feel cramped and confusing and while allowing for a secure one-handed grip that doesn't result in accidental button...

Dread5 says "Small Durable Easy To Hold Reliable " about Fujifilm - FinePix F470 Zoom Digital Camera

Dread5 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:42:29 GMT

As for shooting options, the F200EXR has a lot to pick from. For starters, there's the namesake EXR mode. This consists of High Resolution Priority, D-Range Priority, High ISO & Low Noise Priority, and Auto EXR. Auto EXR is scene recognition that also recognizes which EXR Priority option to use. It's effective and reliable as long as you're OK with the reduced 6-megapixel resolution of the D-Range and High ISO & Low Noise Priority modes. It's certainly one of the best put-it-there-and-leave-it-there auto modes I've tested.

If you don't want to use the EXR, there's a regular Auto mode for more ordinary shooting that uses the camera's full 12-megapixel resolution as well as 15 scene modes to choose from. There's a Natural Light mode for low-light shooting without the flash and a Natural with Flash that takes two pictures, one using available light and one with flash. A Program mode lets the camera handle shutter speed and aperture while you tweak everything else. This also has an aperture-priority...

Dread5 says "This Isn't Even Out But WHEN IT DOES ITS GONNA BE BIG!!!" about Panasonic - Lumix Digital Camera

Dread5 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:40:01 GMT

The FP8 is available in red, silver, and black versions, which is nice since the design is less than exciting. It is compact and lightweight, though, so sliding it in a pants pocket or small bag isn't a problem. The lens is internal, so there's nothing to extend from the body when it's switched on. However, as is the case with all internal lens cameras, it's very easy to end up with fingertips in your shots if you're not careful with your left-hand grip.

The camera's controls are simple enough that out-of-the-box use shouldn't be a problem for those familiar with digital cameras. A switch for powering the camera on and off is on top, next to the shutter release and zoom ring. There's also a small button for quickly changing to Panasonic's Intelligent Auto mode (iA) that determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct any blurring, focus, and brightness issues. While you could argue that a button for going to Movie mode might be more useful, the use of iA allows you to switch between...

MrsAbner05 says "Wonderful camera for beginner or expert photographer." about Nikon - D60 Digital Camera

MrsAbner05 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:08:13 GMT

I purchased the Nikon D60 about 10 months ago and I love it still. In comparison to other cameras, it's not too expensive and takes great photos. I don't use mine professionally but I have used it for a friends wedding and they pics turned out great. My only complaint with the D60 is the continuous shooting mode. The manual states that it will shoot 3 frames per second, but it seems like it gets hung up sometimes. It will shoot the first one, then it keeps trying to refocus before shooting the 2nd. But all in all, the camera was well worth the money as long as you get the lenses to go along with it.

this camera is good for people who are just getting started. i bought this when i joined my digital photography course in college and it was great especially for the types of projects we had to do. it wasn't to technical, with alot of buttons and it was easy to learn how to use. im a major technical person so i picked it up quick and it was my first digital camera. i loved how clear the pictures came out, i was worried they were going to look pixalled and fuzzy. i was able to start a small part time business with that camera i took pictures at a few events. i like how it fits in my hand and its not heavy. now i will be honest its not great for being a professional photographer but it is good for the smaller events like graduations, baby showers, and birthday parties. the only other little problem i had with the camera was if i didn't use energizer batteries the charge wouldn't last long, but thats not a big issue. i loved my camera, and since i had to upgrade to something a little more...
