http://www.viewpoints.com/Photography Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:33:49 GMT Reviews about Photography http://www.viewpoints.com/Nikon-d40--156682-review-25fb4 I was huntring around for a good camera to take to college. One that could withstand the harshities of college life. I also wanted a camera that could take pictures of a sports event without hassle, one that let me shoot 10 pictures in 5 seconds, but one that wouldn't cost me a fortune. My friend told me about the nikon d40 and i hutned around for the cheapest one in could find. i got it for 600 US $ with the 18-55mm and 55-200 mm lenses. it came with the whole kit: lens cleaning, tripod, neck strap, eye cap, lens cap. the works. — — i took it with me and in 3 days took 1242 pictures of everything: sporting event, caves, people, flowers, clouds. what impressed me was that the "long lasting battery" actually was long lasting. i didn't have to recharge it at all in those 3 days. — — only down side: i got used to my digital camera where i didn't have to look through the hole but could look at the screen. you have to look through the hole the screen only shows...

I was thoroughly dissappointed! My 4.0 Megapixel Kodak does better! This camera has a hard time taking good quality indoor pictures, even after altering the balances and settings. I am an advanced digital camera user and really...

I was happy to have earned it, but was a bit apprehensive about using it. I am not big on photography -- I am the one who tends to have her finger over the shutter or the flash at any given time, but I read the user manual and gave it a shot. — I was so pleased with the ease of use! I have taken this camera everywhere. It is small and easy to tuck into a shoulder bag. It is not tiny and flat, but I don't feel comfortable with cameras that small. The zoom is excellent and the display lets you know when you are going from optical to digital zoom. If you have special needs for a picture, like snow, beach, movement, inside, outside, or backlighting, the camera lets you select the circumstances, explains the circumstances in which you would use that feature, and it adjusts appropriately. You can purchase an SD memory card (up to a 2 GB) to keep all your photos,and then either remove the memory card...

I have been extremely pleased with the quality and sharpness of the Canon EF 100-400 USM IS. That image stabalizer has allowed me to shoot in lower light situations than with my old lenses. I have wanted this lens since it originally came out and finally purchased it a few months ago. There are only 2 things I can think of that I really don't like about the lens, though. 1. It's heavy. I mean really heavy. Especially after carrying it around all day. Tip: it comes with a lens case. Discard the strap that comes with it and go spend a few bucks on a wider strap that will be more comfortable. 2. Canon really needs to come out with a handle that screws into the lens' tripod mount. It would make it easier to stabalize when carrying a tripod or monopod is not...

Blue, Red, Silver, and Black...... I picked blue of course and it is a great color.... my family asked me if i wanted to upgrade to a fuji which i think those cameras suck....... i said nooo i want this one and the best thing is that i only paid about $129.00 for it!!!!...

The auto focus is good. Has a large picture viewer. Works great outdoors, day or night. has a setting for taking pictures of fireworks, landscape--near and far, one for documents, self portraites, and so on....

I guess you can say I am a semi professional photographer as I have used the camera for work and pleasure. I took photos for our local newspaper and have even begun to sell some of my own on a stock photography website. This product was well worth the money and I would recommend it to...

But don't waste your money. It's not worth the headache. This is my second HP camera, and I have not had great service out of either one of them. I truly believe that HP makes these cameras cheap so you can replace them in 6 mos. to a year. the model M525 latch broke, because you are trying to fit the batteries into a tight fitting compartment along with the memory card and you have to slide it shut in order for the batteries to stay in.  Which all causes you to put extra pressure on a spring that is not made for this type of wear and tear. — After that if you have problems with the camera, don't call customer support because you always get someone you don't understand what the Hattie's that are saying so in return you have to repeat yourself over and over again. Secondly, if you ask for a supervisor that you get someone who speaks English (maybe) that want to sell you a...

It has a pretty good battery life. if you dont have a memory card for the camera you can always load the memory straight to the computer via USB connectivity. It has many settings such as Sepia, Tint, light, etc. It also has motion settings to help keep your images from being too...

Works ok in auto mode but you can really make it work harder if you learn the different modes and functions. — I have not had the dreaded e18 error on this camera, but I know people who have on earlier...

This Coby DigitaI Keychain has a 1.5 " LCD Full Color Digital Display.  It has a rechargeable battery which provides 4 hours of viewing time. It comes with a USB Port for transferring files from your computer and it holds 120 photos. — — I bought one for my mom for Mother's Day... and downloaded all the pictures of our family over the last year.  So awesome that... oops, I kept it myself! I purchased another one for her. It comes in pink, red, blue, black and white keychain colors.  It is a quality product! — —  The images are bright and project well for  a 1.5" surface. It is perfect when running into people you haven't seen for awhile... it is like having a portable photo album right there on your keychain! — —  Two concerns:  1) It was difficult to load pics from a Mac.  2) I am concerned about the surface maybe getting scratched up - you know, as it bounces around on your...

I've used it almost everyday since and have had some beautiful pictures come from it! I wanted to make sure I had a low cost camera yet one that took great pictures. I found that in this camera! I love the size of the LCD screen and I also like that it comes with a rechargable battery, buying standard size batteries runs into some money and they usually don't last long. That's not an issue that you have to deal with when you have this camera. It also takes memory cards to expand the amount of pictures that you can take. I have bought two cards and now when I go on vacation or have a special occasion that I need to capture pictures, I'm all prepared. This camera has many different functions like video, black/white picture taking, sepia, color, with or without flash. The list goes on and on. It's an all around wonderful camera and well worth every cent! I would highly recommend...
