Canon ZR950

Canon ZR 950 is extremely lightweight, easy to operate camera, which is clearly intended to sense the casual or are an inexperienced with the users. But how does the competition when MiniDV device stack image quality?
ZR950 is a small and lightweight camcorder, it affects hand shakes a lot more than heavy camera such as the JVC GR-D 850 should. ZR950 Easy status is little more than standard automatic mode that Sony and JVC also but Canon really play it easily switch to the company's interests. [3] [4]-go Easy, if the camera automatically adjusts the settings, and the program, which allows for the manual from the inception of the task.With the exception of this switch, however, find a way around the ZR950 is not always easy for a few buttons., which are responsible for less features, even more important is buried in the menu system.
ZR950 features quick button that enables quickly in standby mode, make the trolley until again easily, so as not to miss anything. It is a good idea, but turn the camcorder on and off in the traditional fashion does not take much longer and the battery is still is spillage in standby mode.Only the other property of the button is located at the top of the LCD-bezel and provides access to the digital effects such as sepia, black and white is one of the best ways to save and fades and towels will be able to find some users maybe those effects, but it seems useful, such as the Sony DCR-HC 62 and JVC GR-D 850 to make better use of space, place to go to a widescreen aspect ratio modes of transport and the square of the LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) bezel. Canon ZR 950 setting is deep down confusing two tiered menu layout.
Canon ZR 950 video quality was a disappointment compared to other softer MiniDV camcorders, mentions and less detail and definition.The clips were missing with the vitality and Vivid colors, that Sony and JVC with videos from video cameras-leapt with.ZR950 37 X Optical zoom was the longest three but significant issues added to the image stability and Keep the camcorder steady control. to capture the correct long-term subject was a difficult. battery life is 1 hour and 35 minutes, was fairly strong among similar. Only JVC GR-D 850 (1 hour and 55 minutes) is rated for a longer period.
Although its intuitive controls make it works well in the future, Kevin Smiths, the world, Canon ZR950 video quality was not up to par with their competitors, to the nearest and stability issues in its largest asset — are considered to be an optical zoom — from live opportunities.

Pentax K-x

Pentax K-x is definitely the most is the price of a DSLR. It is available for these colors red, white and Navy, which makes this more unique. $ (Including the 18-55 mm lens) 599 users also get the 720 p video and high-speed burst 4.7 fps shot count. When it comes to image quality, the k-x does not always correspond to the similarly priced DSLRs.
Available in black, Navy, red and white, K-x is easily the most distinctive design all DSLR. It also considers, in particular with a view to sustainable, thanks to a combination of stainless steel chassis and lay down the fiber plastic polymer cover;As a general rule, the Pentax DSLRs — this one — outdoorsy types. 1.8 K-x to press the pound was the same as that of the Nikon D3000, but it seems a caution.
K-buttons to connect to one part of a navigational watch at the end of the second call for Shooting modes control handles from the layout.Nikon-D 3000 as Pentax is positioned on the Autofocus/Autoexposure Lock button on the K-x, which makes it easy to quickly lock on the back of a moving subject. at the top of the Other controls include deleting, exposure compensation, information, Live View and playback buttons, menu, as well as part of a navigational watch area-button. 2.7-inch screen, which is the typical accuracy of 230,000 dots, was easy to see as we shot photos in direct sunlight.
Menus even though cruder than they can be found in the search of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A 380 or Nikon D3000, were still very easy to navigate. This is due to the fact that each of the main regulation, such as ISO or exposure compensation is fixed button. Take part of a navigational watch dial-up connections, you can also help.
In spite of the 11-point autofocusing sensor, some of our 12.4 megapixel photos (including macro shots) looked as we took on the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i and Sony A380 softer Colors, even pleasant. [1] [2], is not always accurate. Some of the cranberry colored berries seemed too pink; Blue sky too cobalt in the afternoon. The problem is exposure — many of our shots were just too dark.
Similarly, the camera's ISO range is 200-6400;We wish it included ISO 100, such as the similar cameras. It is, however, to provide the levels of the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION (ISO), 100-12800 extended options. Not that we take the ISO 12800 with more than the budget of the grain salt cameras; these photos is too inexact.
-Ran out of the box is an easy camera to deliver mediocre results lentäjiensä lit environments, whether it is blowing in the background, overexposing it or cloaking shadow foreground off. K-x is, however, a high dynamic range (HDR) mode, which combines three shots to get the best exposure to the elements, photo.Although these amalgaamit take several seconds to process, the results are crisp and warmly lit. Running in this mode, without the K-x does not do as good job than other DSLRs at correcting the backlight: side-by-side comparison, Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i, Nikon D3000 and Sony Alpha DSLR-A 380 everything was more brightly burning topics, even if not all of them managed to keep the background also in detail.
Finally, the K-x for fashion shoots high-def video with resolution 1280 x 720 and the frame rate of 24 frames per second.Although the sound quality was strong and the colors and the image quality was fair, 24-fps frame rate showed.Our clips showed some motion blur to recommendations, which we believe the speed of 30 fps, which is to be expected $ 799 Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i with when Shooting SD or HD video.
One of the biggest strengths of k-control handles from its speed: it is fashion shoots stills with a capacity of up to 4.7 fps, which is faster than the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i (3.4 fps), Nikon D5000 (4.0 fps), or Sony Alpha DSLR-A 380 (2.5 fps). Our test shots, the camera was the best possibility to freeze us (AF/AE conveniently located-L button was useful for this) the moving subject.
Unlike most everything else on the market of the k-x takes 4 AA batteries instead of the proprietary rechargeable indicator. Pentax camera can shoot, says about kannatusmittausta shots fee. Canon and Nikon Competing models Sony promise about 500 shots, but it is important to remember that the camera companies do not follow the standard procedure, benchmarking the battery and does not typically make these methods would suffice, it is sufficient to say. [1] [2], K-control handles from the battery life is long. Although we have groused AA battery-powered cameras less information in the past, it took a few days of Shooting the batteries in the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, as well as several subsequent days of the date on which the intermittent Shooting through.
It is worth noting that the $ 799, K-x has two lenses: the typical 18-55 mm lens and 55-300 mm zoom lens for some serious action on the same monetary necessity. [1] [2], you could also pick up a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i 18-55 mm lens.
Thanks to its durable design with multiple color options, Fast burst Shooting for foreign exchange rate, 11-point Autofocus sensor and taking Home two lenses less than what you would pay a competing model option 599 $ Pentax K-x is a compelling buy. Although other DSLRs, such as $ 629 Nikon D5000, which offer better quality photos and videos, is not a question of Penatx K-x is still a good value.

Canon EOS Rebel XS

Canon EOS Rebel XS will pay $ 200, which is less than its Editors ' Choice-winning sibling, the EOS Rebel XSi but the only real difference is less resolution and less LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD). Indeed, it appears in the beautiful photos OF THE XS works quickly and is easy to use. A tribute to its simple interface, in particular, we recommend the DSLR beginners.
Rebel xs is almost the same, displays poisjuoksuttamiseksi-shouldered-XSi. Hand-Groove leaves plenty of the fingers of the premises and we want to thumb ergonomic indentation.XS takes the light; at the same time heavy body or bodies must, however, more solid, professional atmosphere.
Rebel XS is a simple arrangement of buttons: the hot shoe, mode dial-up connection at the top and the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION (ISO) button.Behind are the menu Display, exposure, white balance, Playback, and remove buttons, and two of the approximation of laws for playback. 5 ways in the outer part of a navigational watch keyboard buttons double autofocus, self-timer/measurement of continuous shooting, and image style buttons. To activate the pop-up Flash, click on the left side next to the lens.
Large buttons (and fairly large font for each below) to make such as the novice suosivammaksi camera than the Nikon D40 or Olympus Evolt E-520 Rebel XS appearance. As a matter of fact, the simple design belies some sophisticated architecture: it is an automatic sensor cleaning system that D40 does not.
2.5-inch LCD is smaller than the XSi and Olympus Evolt E-520, which are 2.7 inches. However, is a bright and sharp, and could be reviewed in the light of the comfortably furnished rooms, the hotel photos on it.And because the $ 200 price difference between the Rebel XS and XSi, we appreciate that the small liquid crystal display is one of the few compromises. XSi, as it is available in black and silver, and of the SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB.
Rebel XS is a clean menus, from which users can modify the settings.However, users can also change some settings, press the camera, which often made the Rebel XS more convenient to use than the D40 back to the corresponding buttons.Rebel XS has fewer options on the menu, even in Manual mode, which could be a bummer for nonbeginners.
Rebel XSi with XS-Live view was complex.You can "drill down" through the menu system, and even then would not be able to use Live View auto, no Flash or any scene spaces; you must be a manual or a program (just to the modes of Live View Shooters — that is to say, whether you are a beginner — avoid).To activate the Live View is a half-press the shutter button, and then click Set. we wish was dedicated Live View button is there is the E-520.
It is just as well that it is difficult to reach a Live View of the lens will not be able to concentrate on. [1] [2] objects as far as it was in use at least the viewfinder screen feature looked ... more fluid than integrating E 520 LCD.
Other cameras in its class, such as the Rebel XS Live View created a four-second shot shot delay, including your screen goes dark, without a break. Live View does the shutter delay was in practice.

Cisco Flip SlideHD

The reason for the Flip camcorder market dominates the Pocket, and it is not just that it employed in the category. Flip video cameras is cheap, and out of the box: the exercise of the right now-the signature is safe and there are always internal memory so that you do not need to go fishing, short message service (SMS) to your own box and spare SD unfortunately, SlideHD ($ 279), compile the latest model of the pricey, misses mark. Cisco announced that, since it was acquired by Flip back to the first video camera makers emphasize play video device, but its bulky design and short a resistive touchscreen is not worth more money.

The biggest part of the Cisco does not messed tried-and-true a simple structure: SlideHD is still high, peering with a clean, white lens plastic build thin coating of metal accents surrounds the advantage. Does not translate the front cover of the signature should finish without-out USB connector, power connector and a tripod.This one, in particular, is also the HDMI port for watch videos HDTV as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack — pocket cameras, 3-inch screen exert. greater than other Flip screen is the year of thin strips according to the speaker.

Like other flip SlideHD is no memory card slot: rather, it is the 16 GB Built-in memory to save the 12 hours of video, so that users can start Shooting as soon as they take SlideHD ran out of the box.

Sports a relatively large touch screen, SlideHD was designed to sharing videos on the spot, but the slide off the screen more serious in bulk. even though it still feels light, and they are easy to Cup, on the other hand, it looks as if someone is on top of each other at the top of the Flip Mino Flip Ultra. 4.1 × 2.2 × 1 Inches and 6 1 ounce, SlideHD is thicker and heavier than other Pocket video camera on the market. Although it is too large to stuff a pair of trousers pockets, you'll get away with stashing (men) in the jacket pocket or bag.

One thing is missing the obvious SlideHD drive components. The volume rocker, do one of the pages would make, or monitor volume control, which appears only when a song is playing.Even if there is indeed a miniature volume slider when playing videos, transparent and closed packages so as to monitor, it disappears in full-screen mode, which is how the Cisco wants you to play videos in any case.

Whether sharing wind breaker SlideHD heft depends on how useful do you think its touch screen and touch panel is hidden.Touchscreen interface mimics the fully, that parents translated: no customizing buttons in the Middle, 2 X digital zoom, play, and will be removed from the clips and rewinding or fast forwarding flanked by movies in playback mode, the Red record button.When you tap the Red record button in either the start and stop filming, it shall satisfy, in General, play a sound, so that you don't have to wonder if you're using the tap registered. If Shooting a quiet scene where these sounds can be distracting, you can disable them by tapping the settings that are used when you use the touch pointer to the end of the Strip.

Even though the touch screen is easy to navigate, Eid al-Fitr is kapasitiivista, such as the iPhone From the resistive touch. [1] [2] technology, this screen does not always cooperative; we found that we had a little extra pressure applied To deal with many of the touch screen. [2] [3]-phone, you have to answer the question, we will wait for the show even kevyimmän hana.

Kodak PlaySport

At first glance, the Kodak Playsport stands out from other pocket cameras, video cameras, because it is waterproof (immersible up to 10 feet), but what makes an affordable $ 149 device winner is everything else: its good image quality, high resolution and frame the number of options and involve an inventive step in the software. Such sums, with pocket camera sustainability becomes only one pleasant perk.

Kevyimmän Playsport is one of the most compact pocket cameras, we have yet seen the Kodak onwards. 5.1 Ounces at believes as a matter of fact, the considerably lighter than the translate SlideHD, dressed for writing purposes and weighing 6.1 ounce. The departure of the Playsport is one of the company's other video cameras the Kodak had to re-tool its old design, in order to make it waterproof. Gone is the soft Satin finish;on the other hand, is back to matte polypropylene available in black, blue and violet. regardless of what the tone, you can choose Playsport is glossy black accents.

With the exception of more matte finish, starting with the ever more difficult, which makes more's rugged mountainous terrain with the appearance of the four small exposed are the Playsport screws on the front of the port, as well as the sealed envelopes. The combined battery door/SDHC card slot and HDMI and USB ports are some of the fishing effort and the Kodak took a further purpose.The port in the bottom of the Camcorder tripod. one of the houses for content providers to do click one of the Kodak Playsport n-'s rugged mountainous terrain with templates is that the design of sealed, it is not flip out USB connector;You need to connect with the UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) cable.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 37

At first glance, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 37 does not just jump out, you can. Designer does not handsome but conservative, and its 10-megapixel sensor is fairly standard. What makes this point-and-shoot special is that it compresses the wide-angle lens with 5 X zoom compact body. To start, it offers good image quality thanks to Panasonic's intelligent Auto mode with the 720 p video recording. Unfortunately, among the FX37, when it comes to actions in the field of Photography.

You can see, the first thing about the FX37 is the fact that, in spite of its wide 5 X lens is surprisingly compact. 3.2 Ounces is it weighs less than even a 4-Ounce Casio Exilim EX-Z9, which tells you a lot, because at the time of adopting the Casio popping out of thin, lightweight cameras — in particular, the motorizr the shallower 4 X lens.

In the event of such a small camera (FX37 is only 3.7 x 2.0 x 0.9 inches) of the slower is a liquid crystal display is more than they were greater than the amount referred to in point and shoots-: is only 2.5-inch 2-inch screen or larger than competing models. In addition, it is completely frame (4: 3), even if the users have the possibility of Shooting 16: 9 aspect ratio.

FX37 template is a handsome and as little as possible.It has a matte silver body (it also comes in black, blue or white) and a broad range of the lens in occupies a good chunk of the front, the mountain of the LCD on the back. [1] [2], there are five ways to the right side of the air navigation services in the writing pad, which controls than exposure, self-timer, macro, use the double-click, and controls. By using the navigation menus, RCA had. Hereinafter referred to as the keyboard is on the left side of the screen and menu buttons, of which the latter doubles the delete button.

It is also on the back of the switch to switch between modes of transport for playback and fired and — we love this detail — without disrupting your dial-up networking connection, hidden camera, with different scene modes of top below the surface. These include the intelligent auto, Movie, normal Auto-Scene menu.The power button on the Top are small and the shutter is set out in the annex to the zoom controls, which we found convenient.

One of the biggest selling Score FX37 is that its COMPACT body packed inside the wide-angle lens is the powerful 5 x zoom. even though it might affect such as the impressive zoom factor — taking into account the fact that almost every camera manufacturer has super zoom digicam with a coefficient of at least 12 X — 5 x is more than enough for most Shooting situations. Standing above the ground, we had the opportunity to meet our frame at the top of the Skyscraper. Our cityscape shots, it was the widest point of the lens with a wide cinematic look.

25 in order to supplement the particulars of the scene modes, the Panasonic is an intelligent FX37 Auto mode (iA) features, such as Intelligent Exposure, Red-eye correction, Mega o.i.s (optical image stabilization), face detection and fast autofocus series. [1] [2] other companies of the intelligent automatic modes of transport, such as the iA detects and selects the appropriate environment shot the scene in the status and settings accordingly.

In and out, all of our shots showed lively, but accurate colors. Our macro shots of flowers showed a lot of details, but when we had defined the IA camera, sometimes was slow to change the macro mode, and adjust the focus. Speaking to slow, the biggest weakness is its FX37 operation performance. Although all of our images by moving objects looked sharply, they were useless shutter two-second delay;the camera captured picture time really wanted was for a long time out of the frame.

Another gripe: FX37 is not done, and we wanted to lentäjiensä backlit shot, even if Intelligent has been addressed has been assigned.When we used the camera in these circumstances, we could not have been drawn up in accordance with the data in the foreground, because these objects looked too dark.FujiFilm FinePix F100fd equivalent (although twice as heavy) point-and-shoot with 5 X zoom, had a much better job in more detail in the highlights and shadows.

FX37, however, hold a very low light.When we took some shots in the Park after sundown, the camera was very brightening face at the same time, the US registered dimming the background after dark, by analogy, we took the landscape shots does not search for unnaturally bright.This series of our favorite picture is displayed in the Fading blue sky with a romantic scene without trees, which seemed so life, as it did in the lights.

Like the previous models, including Panasonic FX500 FX37 fashion shoots 720 p video at 30 fps.It illustrates the automatically cinematic in 16: 9 ratio and material, I looked at fluid.Unfortunately, however, was weak and rumbling sound of traffic, almost closed Street musician, playing the saxophone more subtle sound. Zoom does not work during the filming.

As we said earlier, this is not a fast camera Takes 2 seconds to begin. [3] [4] and 4 ready themselves to consecutive Hunt (many dot-and-shoots We've tested in recent times taken for approx. 3 seconds between shots) Then the seal. [1] [2] 2-second delay.

The speed of the FX37 is missing, but it makes for longevity. Should THE HD recording of exhausts some cameras batteries, such as the Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS, it does not put in the levying of the FX37 camera After dent. once, we had the opportunity to Shoot several 720 p videos and take dozens of pictures and was still 3 3 battery bars remaining.

Slow speeds, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 37 is not ideal for action photographers. $ 349 is also more expensive than many of the point and shoots, but this price do not have to choose a compact design and versatile lens. may not be similarly priced Nikon Coolpix S60, which sports a 3.5-inch touch screen, such as hip, but it does not disappoint.

Nikon D300

Would you like to make a jump to something simple digital SLR photographers requires more professional is a lot of good options these days. But we have seen so far is the so-called "semi-pro" in the DSLR category also happens to be the most expensive, the best camera: 12.3 Megapixel Nikon D300 which retails for $ 1,799 — and that does not contain even the lens. Even if your wallet may appreciate, photography lover, you can certainly appears inside the Nikon has drawn up a worthy upgrade to its popular D200 DSLR.

Just extract the D300, and you know, your hands are serious machine. The lens Weighs about 2 pounds, the D300 is hard without magnesium alloy chassis, even if it is done outside the front of the polycarbonate rubberized wraps around to the rear of the component that thumbrest handgrip.Is hefty, but well balanced in good Ergonomics, which makes it feel great with a camera. everything is gasketed and seal prevents dust and moisture seeping.

We use this protection test at the same time, the photography of wild turkeys during the snowstorm upstate New York. [1] [2] Although the thick snow covered by a body of the camera, the D300 shot as we continue to be considered when starting to get us a large photos, turkeys, because they ran through the Woods. Later on, all it took was a dry towel wipe the camera, and was as good as new.

Like many professional level cameras, most of the properties and settings are the buttons for the D300, and even through what each one of you is just around the corner from the famous thumbing through manual, they are all marked and easy to use. The camera's 3-inch screen is bright and sharp 307,000 pixels and 170-degree viewing angle, which is an excellent reading, menu items, examines the playback pictures and there Live View shots. D300 is also improved with the optical viewfinder D200 almost 100% coverage.

Unlike some competing models, select Nikon lenses feature a built-in image stabilization.We took the shots very nice AF-S Nikkor 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 DX zoom lens ($ 680), which uses Nikon's vibration reduction (VR) image stabilization technology using VR lens. has an additional investment, which significantly adds to the General system for the price. However, this camera VR-lens the results were excellent.

D300 is also the new autofocus system, which features 15 cross-type sensors or 36 horizontal, that you can use individually or in groups of 9, 21 or 51. In addition, the camera has a 3D Focus tracking feature, which automatically adjusts the focus by using the table in point 51 of the site, you can keep track of the subject among the rolling.

We stumbled a bit D300 Live View feature, which allows you to write using a liquid crystal display shots and becomes one with the camera and another version of handholding a tripod for use.With the Live View other forms on the DLSRs these days, both were too slow and cumbersome for the most active Shooting situations. If you have more time to shoot, such as when photography still life, Live View may help you better in the frames of your shots.

Capture this camera pictures are definitely high class. Like many recent semipro DSLRs use CMOS imaging sensor D300 is intended to capture the little noise with pictures, when Shooting in low light is high ISOs. You can manually change the ISO 200 3200 or extend 100 click Extended ISO 6400 vary depending on the mode.

Although pictures began to get a little noisy in the light of the above ISO 2000, compared to competing DSLRs in this category, they were among the ohjainlaakeritekniikan we have seen.We shot the Victorian house ISO 640 and ISO 800 during the snow storm was Vivid colors in your photos, yellow tree, showing the House in a good-punch and dark red shutters in search of a deep and rich run, but quiet.

Boring and flat light, such as during the day we photographed at the New York Central Park Wollman Rink, Ice skaters, however, We needed the assistance of the Picture control system for Vivid setting — which allows you to preset colors and pictures tone — to our shots up at the pump.We've tried also black and white option, and when we wanted to duck pond we got in this mode, the dark, moody images, in General, we got more artful contrasted results when we convert our images in black and white in the Adobe Photoshop CS3.

We wanted to, in particular, the overall speed of the D300 quickly, which is boosted with Nikon's new Expeed Image: Processing System.The camera was turned on, and 0.13 seconds, almost no shutter lag time.D300 6 frames a second shot speed was a notch below the Canon EOS 40 d ' s but still impressive 6.5 fps, you will need to add the optional MB-D10 Multi Power battery handle that gives you 8-fps speed, but costs $ 249.

The new autofocus system is fast and accurate, 3D Focus tracking was a little wonky, especially in low contrast situations — such as the wild turkeys with — if it sometimes focus on the subject, but not directly around the New Scene recognition System. [1] [2] — which works in the background, unlike similar systems point and shoots — automatically optimizes the picture taking tweaks settings for specific scenes, and it seemed to work well.

Battery life is strong. D300 is rated to be adopted shall be 1 000 shots per (Live View rolls the faster) optical viewfinder for extra charge, which is very average for the entire weekend to a core temperature greater than 100. [2] [3] image, optical viewfinder and Live View captured after the battery meter decreased by only one notch.

If serious photographic data and do not mind spending more money to upgrade a serious DSLR, the Nikon D300 is the best investment you can make. Although the 10.1 megapixel Canon EOS 40 D and 12.2 megapixel Sony Alpha A700 are a good (and cheaper) semipro digital SLRs, the D300 is all-around the best camera in this class of image quality, speed, durability and features likely to be accompanied by the surplus cash. [1] [2] of whom spend much of their time learning all this complex but high-performance camera make. but if you mean a lot of taking large images, D300 is its values.

Kodak Zi6 Pocket video camera

Editor's note is added below.

We have seen Flip Video impostors (anyone remember the creative Vado?), but the Kodak's Zi6 Pocket video camera is the first, which gives a Pure Digital series the money it illustrates the 720 p. video 60 frames/second, and unlike the Flip video cameras to film it is SD-Card slot that can hold cards equal to the 32 GB and still images of the Zi6 can be executed (which is dedicated to the macro, start).

Pure Digital Flip Mino compared to 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.9 inch Zi6 is gigantic, but it is comparable in size, the older Flip Ultra, which was always more than the light to do so. In fact, 3.8 ounces, the Zi6 is lighter than many digital cameras, and is also notified if a little longer.

But the Flip Ultra displays the type of the Fisher-Price toy, the Zi6 has the same glossy appearance than the upcoming Motorola Zine training Kodak Camera Phone: een. It has a Satin black (or pink) on the back, with protruding lens, matte silver accents and sharp 2, 4-inch screen. Next to the lens, there is a button that appears on the screen a built-in USB connector out.

Interface centers around five-way joystick pad with the red part of a navigational watch that doubles as a button on the record. VGA, HD, and still photo HD60 mode transition requires suitable for pushing the joystick from side to side, which we found the unintuitive.Flanking measures to remove the buttons on the joystick are content, stop playback and entering and exiting the playback mode.

On the left side of the camera are HD and AV ports, the port and the bottom is a tripod is sliding to the left of the macro-mode-switch and — our favorite part — THE SD/SDHC card slot, which lasts for the cards to equal the size of 32 GB. It has 128 MB of internal memory, so you need to store multiple movies, in particular for long in the SD card.$ 260 SanDisk Ultra II SDHC 32 GB card to pay more than the camera itself, but fortunately, you don't need to be nearly that much storage. more modest 2 GB card is to be regarded as a 30 fps approximately 40 minutes HD video and pay you around thirty bucks.

Pure Digital flip video cameras such as the Zi6 has its software, so it will be installed when you connect the camcorder to go to the notebook's USB port.(Note that the camera has to be, so it can be used on battery power.) ArcSoft MediaImpression for Kodak rotate images and automatically fix red eye. Flip is a piece of software, such as it is uploaded to the YouTube directly, although you will not be able to choose the privacy settings in advance, as well as to compile.

The biggest drawback MediaImpression: n is that you cannot edit movies, much less to add music, such as the Flip Video videojaksoja. We had, however, edit our footage using Adobe Premiere Elements 4. Wish also that the software will detect the JPEG by default.When you install the program, make sure that you Check the box next to the JOINT PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERTS GROUP (JPEG), when you can get information about the file formats section.

Editor's note: Kodak Zi6 for ArcSoft MediaImpression, more powerful ONBOARD version of the software included with the CD version. Our review unit came with A CD, and is not, however, we originally completed, it was a poor editing features.When our original review of the posted, we tested the entire software and found that it allows for a richer editing experience in a Member State other than the above Features are, for example, the ability to ... Add titles, music and transitions, and cut the movies.Who is par for the course of your Pocket video cameras.

Zi6 fashion shoots VGA or HD 720 p video at 30 or 60 fps. Kodak has both options, because the 30 fps video takes up less room but 60 fps video is, of course, be reduced.Kodak recommends action scenes in 60 fps option in particular.

We have filmed the carousel Sunny days, and both the auto toy dimly lit room 30 fps, 60 fps. in both cases, 60 fps looks for smoother (as you can imagine), but yet I looked at 30 fps can be accepted.2 X digital zoom is a bit jerky but more flexible than the Flip Mino.

60-Fps-videos, we can draw up (neither was great, capturing foreground detailed movement) of the background in more detail. sound quality was hard and life, as well as clips.In short, 60 fps is the best, but the 30 fps is fine, too. [1] [2] Although we saw blur in both modes, the Zi6 video is even better than VGA Flip models has to offer.

Zi6 will take 3 megapixel still photos (Flip-it is not yet do this camcorder). when it came to Shooting moving and far away, we found ourselves wishing to image stabilisation and the optical zoom (it has 2 X digital). This said, we were impressed with the colors and exposure, and the macro shots came out of our way to love the camera, so Zi6. [1] [2] is not as good as a typical standalone digicam, but as long as your themes are still quite close and the pictures are adequate, a Member State to fulfil obligations — and often good.

Zi6 contains two Rechargeable AA batteries. Accumulators from three-fourths of Shooting HD video at 30 fps, 60 fps only a few minutes after the lost full bar battery Me. when we turned the camera off and back on, the icon showed a better battery. in any event, that the 60 fps video HD eat even more battery is good to know, when you want to make every minute count.

Kodak Zi6 belongs, as well as the $ 179 Flip Mino in this area. [1] [2], which describes the Mino VGA movies, was still kicking of shooting short films tens of days.

Kodak Zi6 is lightweight and easy to use and to take proper HD video and crisp macro photographs. [1] [2] And it has the SD-cards, one of the Flip Video Ultra and Mino you do — all this for $ 179, flip Mino, the price for the design of the Mino is faster. [2] [3], but we rather make and use the Kodak Zi6 built-in video editing features, despite the absence of.

Kodak Zx1 Pocket video camera

Although not intended to replace, the Kodak Zi6 's Editors ' Choice award-winning pocket camcorder, the new company offers a number of improvements to the Zx1: more compact design enhanced onboard components of the software, the HDMI cable and water-resistance. However, in some ways $149 device is a step backward: battery life continues to be weak compared to the competition, the buttons are characterized by the side of the page, and this time around is the zoom jerkier.

Although often connotes a Word's rugged mountainous terrain with bulky, Zx1 is 4.2 x 2.0 x 0.8 inches, lighter and slightly lower than the Zi6 (4.5 x 2.5 x 0.9 inches). Unlike the Zi6 is missing this thinner camera out of the front cover, however, A UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) connector. Our Zx1 became Red;You can also buy it black, blue, yellow, and pink. [1] [2] It also involved in the secondary back to the Nice graphic that displays a sequential sunrays.

The appearance of the buttons on the Zx1 than they feel; because they are a little stiff, we had a press force.Even on the side of the power seemed to be characterized by the Pure Digital Flip UltraHD n compared to planning One drawback Zx1. [2] [3] is that it has a smaller screen than the Zi6 (2 inches) and (2.4). However, the bright LCD (liquid crystal display) felt when we shot videos, Sunny days.

Even if the body is mainly plastics Zx1, gunmetal-colored facade is made of steel Brushed metal appearance to match. Buttons (5 ways for pad, delete part of a navigational watch, play, shooting, and Stop buttons) is a thin, rubber accents, which color represents a satiny back cover. The body is not Rubbery, but it will take you want to embed, so you can turn on and splashes it skiing, beach or boat.

Because the Zx1 is designed to be waterproof, covers all the ports. they include SD Card slot on one side and A/V, USB, HDMI ports, on the one hand, and power. In addition, the traditional A/V cables, HDMI cable included with the camera, which is a huge plus. Unfortunately, Zx1 is not a Flip-out USB connector, than the Zi6.On the other hand, must be accompanied by a USB cable or memory card reader, you can use the videos.

Zx1 's user interface is quite easy to retrieve.Use the up and down buttons to adjust the Zoom; the provision of air navigation on the left and right buttons to move to the VGA, 30 fps, 60 fps, and photo-spaces separate buttons. If it is accompanied by a recording, delete, and play your photos and videos.

Press the playback button once to go to now playing mode, but if you press it again to see the clips and images as thumbnails, which is convenient. press the button a third time and appears in the timeline viewer, which allows, for example, if you have a lot of media stored on the memory card organized the clips.When playing back clips, to put an end to the fixed bed with manual feed of the stop button and press the pad you can pause in the middle of the air navigation services. Type shot mode by pressing the shot button.

Such as the Zi6 Zx1 fashion shoots 720 p video at 30 frames per second is both (fps) and 60 fps, a specification that defines the Kodak's video cameras, with the exception of those of its competitors and the deposit facility will remain unchanged. As we said in our analysis of the Zi6, 60 fps is handy when you're Shooting action For everyday Shooting sequences., 30 fps, regardless of the brand is enough.

Our video looked bright and colorful, and we may prepare a lot of details, such as the stone fountain engravings. Unfortunately, 2 X digital zoom seemed very jerky on the screen, so much that it ruined our clips. The zoom feature does not extend very far anyway and, of course, the introduction of the precision digital zoom means dropping, so it's a good idea to avoid using it.

The sound quality was mostly good offered by Zx1: it picked up sounds off-camera and slippers Basketball court 20 feet away from the squeak. But the moon as a wind sounds on the damper on some of our clips. me does not sound the sound device is missing in the stellar inexpensive, but because this is a paid more attention to the wind of suspension because, well, you can use it in less than perfect conditions ruggedized video camera.

Zx1 shall also be taken up to a maximum of 3 megapixel stills. Although too, these were the bright colors, yet pleasant property to enable Zi6 is more useful and also has its own macro mode.Zx1, yet part of the picture is about as sophisticated as — if at least — a mobile phone camera.

Zx1 store onboard ArcSoft Media Impression software, instead the CD that came with the Zi6.The software is compatible with only computers, even though (even if you can attach files on the Mac, and then drag the Zx1 it off) when you plug in the camera. [1] [2] for the first time, it will automatically turn on and you are prompted to install it.During the Setup process has the possibility to check the file formats that opens MediaImpression Photo-Viewer.Oddly THE JPEG format is not selected by default.

The home screen, you can import images, open the library or download videos from YouTube.However, when you enter the library, the icons on the screen at the bottom of the Panel has to be multiplied by the mountain of more options: you can also open the media player, convert files, e-mail, download Vimeo videos, (you need are installed elsewhere on the computer that holds the) disc and a movie.

Pure Digital FlipShare software allows you to add themes, opening and closing credits and their own music.However, when you make these settings in the FlipShare step-by-step wizard form, ArcSoft organize it all as a filmstrip is not unlike the Premiere Elements or other popular movie editing programs at the bottom of the screen.Is easy, but it is certainly the easiest, picture.

The software also provides a set of improved property. When you scroll through a library of over a thumbnail, you'll see a pop-up window is enlarged photograph or print preview, depending on whether you can scroll over a photo or a movie yet. Icons at the top of the tray, you can delete your photos, add the star ratings, or Tags, and work in batches, such as rename, resize or convert images.

Such as the Zi6 comes with two Rechargeable AA Zx1-battery. as with the Zi6, we found that in 60 fps Shooting quickly place the battery life has taken its dent. only a dozen or so, as well as clips, still images, We do not already provides for a two-thirds of the battery, however, the flip UltraHD. what shoots 30 frames, secondly, it took a lot longer. line: allocate 60 fps mode, the high octane situations and stick in any other way to conserve battery life, 30 fps with the Zx1 is one year. [1] [2] limited warranty.

Kodak's Weather-resistant Zx1 is the sleekest, pocket-camera, we have seen in recent times., the image quality and size, and $ 149 price tag is a good match for some people, however, if the budget permits. [2] [3], and you can not sense, carrying greater device video clips from $ 159 Zi6 were better, as well as Pure Digital for $ 199, the flip UltraHD, which offers 8 GB of internal storage to start.(Expenditure 40 $ 8 GB card for the price of almost closes Zx1 difference anyway.)If you already own, even though the SD card, Zx1 makes an attractive, strong box.

Sony Bloggie MHS-PM 5

Once we have checked the Sony is the first Pocket camcorder, Webbie MHS-1 PM, we were impressed by its unique rotating lens and this full HD recording (exert time) still its blurry photos or choppy zoom. Since then, the company has designated its line of cameras Bloggie, goofy nod for its users. Although we enjoy the $ 149 Bloggie MHS-PM 5 full HD video quality and unique design, the other competitors offer more comfort and better ergonomics, and money.

PM5 is a candy bar-community design twist. Literally. Video camera, which measures a compact 4.4.2.3 x 0.8 inches x at the top of the lens, which is a swiveling rotate 270 degrees. And the degree of flexibility allows you to take the video bloggers, as well as instant print film in itself than others. The lens cover is ridges, which is easy to work around your finger instead of inventory, which has in its possession with the camera.In addition, the camera turns on when (is dedicated to the power button too) lens exposes — if you are looking for comfortable touch. PM5 appears blue, Aubergine (deep purple), pink and white, and it has a metal accents on the pages, which give it a more stylish look than many of its competitors.

Hereinafter referred to as the traditional glass PM5 pocket cameras recall. It is quite small, 2, 4-inch display (230,000 pixels) playback, and menu buttons and a four-way joystick, which produces more than flat D-pad would have had to use. During shooting, you can see your own subject only a small slice of the screen;the remaining space in the Shooting settings, on the one hand, the screen was upwards. relatively strong, especially when compared to the flip SlideHD. Bonus: you can play the videos back to landscape mode, which allows a larger viewing area.

To the right of the screen is a switch that allows users to switch between the movie and the image still spaces;the installation produces more than the last generation of Webbie MHS-PM 1, whose twin still photo and video recording toolbar buttons was entitled is located below the LCD monitor.We are often a fumbled with prior to the record button at the bottom of the PM5.

On the right side is turned on, the zoom rocker, and the A/V and mini-USB ports that puzzled. we are, which the subtitle is the Sony HDNA, company does not contain the HDMI output. we want to zoom rocker of Sony, which allows users to easily hold the camera at the same time, the right-handed brought an action for annulment of the zoom controls up and down with the placement of their thumb. on the left side of the battery and the memory are covered slots (it accepts the Sony's proprietary Memory Stick format, as well as more and more often we see the SDHC format). Finally, it is accompanied by a lever to slide out the USB connector on the bottom of the camcorder tripod port — one of the last generation of PM1.

Sony Handycam DCR-HC 62

Sony Handycam DCR-HC 62 is roughly comparable to that of the Canon ZR950, whose size and shape, but specifies the characteristics of some of the flashy itself apart, and excellent video quality. But we've not sell these extras are worth $ 70 for a premium for the digicam cost greater than its nearest competitor.

HC62 marquee feature is without a doubt touchscreen LCD, which is permitted in most of the Sony camcorder buttons and banish an move interactive elements onto the LCD monitor. LCD (liquid crystal display) seems to be mostly resistant as a result of serious smudging or fingerprints, and is quite rapidly, makes every time, what is expected when it is touched or tap. One caveat is that, in the top-level menu buttons, most of which are thin, small rectangles that sit on the edge of the screen the beveled. Take a few tries to avoid getting caught on the edge of the screen and that actually make up a contact with the screen buttons.When the height of the obstacle, the graphical menus are very easy to navigate and understand a liquid crystal display becomes difficult to see in bright sunlight and Glare brings a subtle smudges, that would otherwise go out.

A few buttons, which remain to sit below the LCD monitor. Most useful is the aspect ratio of the switch, the feature JVC GR-D 850 shares.Strangely enough, the other buttons duplicate the functions can be used in the camera body: start and stop the recording and zoom in and out. [1] [2] This means that these operations can be carried out on the left and right hands. Although this ambidexterity can be useful in certain situations, it seems, in particular when redundancy on the left of the Zoom control in the not so slow, that it is hardly worth the Zoom lever to the right of the traditional Internet.

HC62 video quality is excellent, almost equally from JVC's GR-D 850 with MiniDV cassettes. both store and can boast of bright, to satisfy, in General, the video;However, 25 X zoom lens HC62 itself has some problem, is much less effective than the GR-D 850 35 X zoom or Canon ZR950 37 X zoom.HC62 is also keeping steady when Zoom is turned on for the long term and the tele-macro function does not in any way help more problems.

HC62 Super Nightshot Plus infrared system is definitely improve performance a little light, but it can lead to aavemaiset halo effect, however, was like JVC.: n NightAlive property. Scenery is 85 minutes of battery almost responded that HC62 Canon ZR 950 are only ten minutes short.

Although the Sony Handycam DCR-HC 62 and JVC GR-D 850 almost the same video quality, the price of almost EUR 70 JVC: the difference between the model and Sony's Advanced LCD HC62 attributed to the latter's touchscreen. consumers have to decide whether they're willing to pay for the budget of the interface, you can use this feature, or a longer zoom camcorder JVC.

Panasonic HDC-SD 9

In recent years, Panasonic has made some of the best prosumer camcorders on the market, so we were excited to try SD9, can a small, three-CCD camera to save the video (1920 × 1080) 1080i SD-cards. Although the 9, 7-Ounce device displays such as ideal pocket at lower prices, terrible physical design and options to middling leaves us hungry beefier video camera, which was more user-friendly and more may be in the area of the video.

Implements the SD9 tripod and you can think of would be tempted to fashion shoots an amazing video. As long as it does not go to — at all — the camera rendered objects with great details and shineth, although slightly oversaturated colors.But when the holding and the Visual camera, we saw the performance with some odd jittering flashes an exceptional color recording at the highest level recording quality produced. [1] [2] soft photos.

Indoors in low light, omaksuttuja edges and detail of pikselöitynyttä to another was a little gloomy, and rendering as a whole. No wonder, that has a user interface (UI) blankets LCD monitor with warning messages about the camera moved too quickly.(Fortunately, you can delete messages off.) The audio reproduction at the very least, it was pretty good.

Small, barrel-shaped unit is well suited to light and in spite of the adult Palm weight is difficult to maintain stable. Liquid crystal display, even if visible in the sunlight, had a bad color reproduction and contrast.

Oddly enough, Panasonic, displays the still appear to be thinking, prosumers, when it comes to the control layout. Only the photo and video mode-switch and the shutter button is located on the territory of the thumb of the video. Other major controls are hidden below the left side of the LCD. You can use many of the joystick works quickly (the contrast, backlight compensation, intelligent, soft skin) is located at the top of the camera, where we had to fumble and sometimes a quick left eye to make sure we were hitting the correct control.

More of harassing, DC and HDMI hydraulipiireissä is placed behind the battery.Because you must Use the camera's USB cable included with the software, in the context of the space, removing the battery could often necessary.This requires the opening of the liquid crystal display, which removes the camera (except if you have set the mode switch is set to off) and leave the automatic lens cap open when the battery out of the pop.We got you to us in accordance with the format and the software with the gripes, too, such as the inability of the scrub forward and backward through the video clip in revising and hour-plus is Panasonic's own file conversion for MPEG-2.Panasonic prices of battery at 105 minutes for continuous shooting, but you can expect approximately 65 minutes in real life.

$ 689 performance and ease of use is the SD9 disappointment for the bundled software could be improved. [1] [2] the update that you want to download, but is not the design deficiencies relating to the fixing of maximum levels and the screen is a brilliant performance. Panasonic prosumer cameras (like the VariCam series) has led us to expect much more from this device. [1] [2], even in the absence of these expectations, however, simply do not stack the SD9 performance. This video camera is pretty, but free.

Olympus Stylus 1030 SW

Olympus offers travelers who do not want to deal with their digicam with kid gloves, 10.1 megapixel Stylus 1030 SW, waterproof, freezing-proof, crush strength-certificate, and dust from the camera, which promises to be the "toughest point-and-shoot all over the world." Durable build, rich selection of scene modes and fast performance, this camera has almost all of the active photographer would want to. But its price — and active audience — we wish it was the optical image stabilization for taking blur free shots.

1030 SW metal body pulls double duty's rugged mountainous terrain with armor and a trendy accessory.6.4 ounces of this camera is about heavy than most point-and-shoots, despite its metal casing, it can handle from dust and dirt covered port holes and three small screws, press and hold the front plate that appears in black, silver and green.

We had our work cut out for us, when it became available through its paces 1030 SW: IT shall be capable of withstanding a 6.6 foot drops, up to 33 feet of water, the temperatures set as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and up to 220 pounds of pressure immersion. For those who do not own the testing, the camera is on the screen with a pressure gauge for the readiness for height and pressure.

2.7-inch LCD to the right the zoom button has two; scroll wheel, which includes eight spaces;part of a navigational watch, on the expiry of a four-way pad buttons in Flash, which is double the brightness of the self-timer, macro, and buttons;and dedicated to a menu, playback, delete, and options buttons. Power and shutter buttons are side by side at the top of the chassis. In addition, it is the beginning of the lock of the liquid crystal display is clear, even outdoors. If it is not its 0.8 cm thick Chunky shape, this overall Look like other point-and-shoot.

1030 SW menus are dead-simple to go to: Press menu to display and exit the menus and the new settings, click OK, it took some getting. Although it is used, we change such as scene modes requires selecting the SCN scroll wheel would be lost, instead of the options menu.

To begin, we can test the 1030 SW underwater performance by dropping it in the bathtub. We have been able to easily select the underwater Snapshot status and settings when you embed. When we took the camera dried quickly and continued with works normally.

Next, we went down the camera almost 6.5 feet of hard Lino page. Impact on leave from the beginning of the metal to the chassis side-members or nary LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD), and we have been able to use normally afterward.

Since we cannot fully avalanche probe our fingers on the snap-in, the next best way to test the 1030 SW pressure restrictions had it bears. When we had to stand for 6-Ounce camera 215 pound man, have we heard disconcerting crack.Not to worry: liquid crystal display remained pure and we have been able to stream it without any problems.

After making sure our freezer did Kylmempiä than 14 degrees, we put the camera in the station (Olympus says, there is no limit to how long the camera can stay 14 degrees in the environment) for 30 minutes. We had again, the possibility of 1030 SW off, when we returned it to room temperature. In addition, condensation, which was developed by the chassis quickly disappeared. [1] [2] the camera was still uncomfortably cold touch-a-half hours at room temperature, even after the end of the sitting.

All of our test shots showed the crisp, detailed and good lighting. In particular, the bright Faces, was examined, backgrounds. Although most of our shots showed the exact colours, red and pink sometimes seemed to paler or large screen in a Member State other than the person grayer. More often than not, we were pleased.

1030 SW performs respectably small light: from 80-400 ISO levels, our pictures exhibited detail, including the shine of some areas of the furniture and the dust of the number of texture decent tchotchkes.800 Level however, Flash began as from our delicately lit shots. using the camera's Shadow amendment also enhances the low light photos: shot taken someone wrinkly outfit looked smoother, lighter and dim when we enable this functionality.

Although some of our pictures taken to move the Auto mode, other topics were clearly showed the motion blur.Selecting the Digital Image stabilisation mode from scroll wheel movement, we can compensate for the helped; our pictures move topics at the same time, I looked at the sharp, such as walking in the sampling plan as additional samples.However, this expensive Tape — and one that is designed for active use — our optical picture stabilization wait.Unfortunately, may, at the same time, select a Digital Image stabilisation mode, unison for detailed scene mode, such as the candlelight.

One of our favorite 1030 SW properties, see the Guide mode, which displays amateur photographers would like to make a better common things — to reduce red-eye, describes the topics and blur in the background.Select one of the following options, and the camera will automatically change its settings.In addition, the 1030 SW will manually adjust the exposure. the flat-rate exposure of the easy button to see the live view, you'll notice that the grid preview for each type of Regulation shall submit to the shot.

The camera is also 24 scene modes, and everyone has an explanation of the screen, and stored in the sample pictures, show the kinds of shots taken with each in the first place, we tried. Underwater Snapshot mode, which is ideal for pools or shallower basin. [1] [2] Although in our bathtub seemed a hazy yellow Live View mode, our underwater shots bathtub toys was bright and accurately lit — not to mention the smoothness. We also had THE PLEASURE OF Sport-mode: our images over speeding traffic was unclear, frozen.

Finally, the camera records a solid AVI video up to 30 frames per second. [1] [2] the volume might not be sufficiently loud YouTube audience, the video was fluid and clear voice: we could be heard playing in the background vocals, a friend and we wish it only stereo. [1] [2] it is possible while filming the zoom controls.

Even though we had taken 30 10-MP shots, the 1030 SW continued to run fast. elapsed between the date on which the camera 1 sec to enable and disable and ready yourself consecutive shots, which is also, but not impressive 5 seconds we were also pleased with the battery. [2] [3]; individual payment allowed for several days the use of light.

You do not have to climb Mt. Olympus 1030 SW. to appreciate its sustainability and the ability to capture sharp images from a variety of Shooting conditions facilitate versatile camera travelers and thrill-seekers-like products.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS 80

Keep in mind when planning, the VCR had had never made the most complicated thing? Panasonic Lumix DMC 's-LS 80 by using the included close to that, flows from the modes and menus. When you get it all figured, however, you like what you see.

Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS 80 's boxy design does not win a beauty competitions, it is easy to arrange, set, and shoot even one left-handed. It is available in silver and hot pink. All the controls are very marked and easily accessible, even if you take two menu button can be confusing.It is the only camera, a digital zoom button, which will be used in the Optical zoom instead of the lever can be carried out by mistake, we are in particular wanted to roundup. efficacy and Shooting and playback jumps to that select the drive, as well as in a separate memory card door on the camera side with ease.

Despite its high resolution, Panasonic's 2.5-inch LCD monitor tracks and sivelykoe when moved quickly. But it is a bright and readable, even in the sunlight, and are displayed in the colors were quite accurate.

Menu, the menu and status buttons (q) we quickly became a data button to activate it, and what the command confused.Status button displays the recording mode, the obvious two options (Scene mode and the Motion Picture) and two mysterious (intelligent and normal picture) mode, the camera option. Intelligent built-in iSCN (Intelligent Scene recognition) automatically assesses the subject, compares it with its database and select the related settings. Canon PowerShot A580 such as DMC-LS 80 is both optical system and its ability to reduce image blur and the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION (ISO) and the jitter motion data error by adding the Shutter speed is automatically when it detects motion (Panasonic calls it Intelligent ISO). They work well together, even if the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION (ISO) can degrade image quality development.

Rocker switch in the middle of the button, the title has a menu, and set. What are the options, it displays depending on which mode is selected. DMC-LS 80 features 21 different shot on the premises, including provisions for Photo, Baby1, and both Hi Sens Baby2. (confidentiality), which may contribute to significant 6400 ISO (but it will increase the accuracy of the noise at the same time greatly).(Q) the menu button you can select different settings, such as the antishake, one or more frames and resolution Shooting.

Even if you do not have built-in face recognition technology, DMC-LS 80 makes excellent work will be analysed quickly and at an average rate of no more than five areas of focus-point exactly.It also contains the autofocus mode, which focuses on continuously instead of only when the shutter button is pressed in the mid-1990s.The camera focuses on down to 2 inches, do not need to activate a specific macro-mode Boot up time. [1] [2] was a little slow, our tests, 1.8 seconds, but the continuous mode is rated to shoot a seven shots per second (with an accuracy of four size), when we have been able to Shoot one frame shot every 1.5 seconds.

We were satisfied with the DMC LS80 image quality We still life shots were ... crisp and clean, good colors, excellent exposure and a nice contrast and brightness. DMC LS80 intelligent ISO sensitivity limits we set the right indoor shots, even though it tended bomb the highlights on this topic, we have the out of Office Assistant sunlit out. [1] [2] the video quality was excellent and the Casio Exilim EX-Z9, such as DMC-LS 80 can capture widescreen format of the material is entirely at 30 fps.

Panasonic offers fast performance and a very good image quality. [1] [2] but its better and in a group is a little too complicated monikäyttöisemmän premises and using menus.

Nikon Coolpix L18

One of the fastest point-and-shoots we have seen, the Nikon Coolpix L18 is a lot to offer, such as a huge 3-inch LCD, 23 MB of internal storage, and you can zoom at the same time Shooting the video. It comes with its share in the comments, but as a general rule, Microsoft recommends that this camera.

L18 is approximately the same size and shape as the Panasonic DMC-LS 80% but more rounded corners and fewer buttons. The Zoom lever is also behind the shutter button instead.Camera status, and buttons for playback on the top of the rear of the camera is placed inconveniently. we wish, on the other hand, also were on the side of the memory card slot instead of at the bottom of the list.

We love 3-inch LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD). it is a great, sharp and bright, and you can choose whether you want to start the standard welcome screen Show favorite picture or display settings menu icons or text. Most users will want to select text, because many icons feeling.

Only a handful of controls, commands, and menus on Nikon Coolpix L18 is one of the easiest cameras. Simply enable it, select one of the four modes of operation — auto, Scene, Movie settings in the Automatic mode — and start Shooting. It is also very easy to adjust the settings, but the number of options is limited to somewhat.

Yet in all modes of transport, you can specify the macro and the exposure compensation and activate the self-timer. If the switch is a unified framework for ammutut, you can also specify five flash option. Only possible for automated plant functioning in automatic mode, you can select the resolution, white balance, shot selector and color settings. Select the Automatic settings, press the menu button or Scene and ignore these options were, my strength entirely failed me, and displays only the settings, even if the Scene also allows you to select the resolution. L18 offers 11 Scene selections.

The properties of the facial recognition L18 technology, even if it does not have a user-controlled option. Most of the shot on the premises it is always active, and works well.The camera is not, however, the optical image stabilization. Instead, it automatically adds the ISO and Shutter speed when it detects motion. [1] [2] This reduces blur, but it also makes it possible to reduce the image quality.

This point-and-shoot is the fastest we've seen.It starts up laukaisupainiketta 1,2 seconds, and a single rate of duty, and the Flash ammutut with its frame to 1.5 seconds, the continuous Shooting mode that., it can be used to frame 1.3 seconds until you turn off your finger instead of shutter or the memory is full (However, the focus remains unchanged).L18 is also a Multi-shot 16-selection, which describes a single frame 16 small pictures only one second — a good golf or tennis swings for analysis.

L18 image quality has been mixed with exposure to Our landscape shots. [1] [2] was a little dark, colors, muted and nothing was really sharp and crisp.Our available light shots indoors was a little blue votes.However, the out of Office Assistant and action shots sharp and very vulnerable to an excellent color.

We were impressed with the quality of the video and the L18 how easy it was to be shot of the movie. [1] [2] Videos IN VGA (640 x 480) resolution at 30 fps as a whole and 320 x 240 at 30 fps and 15 fps. Kodak EasyShare M863/md863 with you to the optical zoom at the same time, the L18 's filming. Videos were free and very vulnerable to jerk, but you have a camera and both hands and hold the zoom level in order to prevent jitter.

We had a very fun, Nikon Coolpix L18. Similarly priced Casio Exilim EX-Z9 is a versatile and sophisticated, but is not limited to, the L18 is fast shooter. you can not get connected to interfere with the smooth running of the options and parameters, and at the end of the day, you get good stills and videos.

Nikon Coolpix P6000

Geotagging photos — on the market place, where they have been taken map — has always been compromises. At the beginning of the days it is intended by dropping the digital map onto the images manually. In recent times has noted, the WiFi triangulation by invoking (that does not follow you everywhere, such as the GPS does not), or in addition to the cumbersome equipment toting your camera. But the Nikon Coolpix P6000 squeezes the actual GPS receiver geotags photos that have been carried out in all workstations and the ground, Chunky body inside. Unfortunately, getting our pictures accurately geotag the camera was difficult, and while it is not terrible, image quality, there was no other than what you get with Nikon cameras of the stars.

Take a camera with integrated GPS receiver has drawbacks. 8.5 Ounce and 1.7 cm thick, Coolpix-P 6000 is much bulkier than your typical point-and-shoot. However, the lending superzoom and DSLR category, which offer the money more advanced features some of the design elements. The first is low, rubbery handle on the left side.Then there is a pop up Flash hot shoe for external Flash and optical viewfinder, which allows you to even when the LCD is turned on, however, part of the eye. [1] [2] is so small that we had were picture-seemed to squint.

On the other hand, 2.7-inch LCD is one of the best features of the Coolpix P6000. We had no problem, it will be interesting to see in daylight and contributes significantly to the 230,000 pixel resolution, all we framed Live View looked sharp and liquid is not unlike the experience of watching something in high-def TV.LCD (liquid crystal display) on the left is a function, manual focus, myPicturetown, playback, and the menu buttons on the right is a five-way. [1] [2] part of a navigational watch pad, which controls Flash, self-timer, focus and exposure. P6000 is also Delete and options buttons, as well as one of releasing the pop-up Flash.

In addition, Coolpix P6000 Flash-metal mode dial-up connection reinforced with rubber, the zoom controls attached to the shutter button, the command dial-up connection and a small power button. The camera is also covered, DC-and A/V-out ports, as well as an Ethernet port (for more information about that later). 

Switch to the on screen menus using the Coolpix P6000 five ways played a part of a navigational watch pad easy.Each menu page is in the left pane, icons, each of which represents a different category, such as Shooting menu, highlight the icon, and then move on to the Other. [1] [2], vasemmalletoisin when you scroll up and down you can move through the new icon class oheisvaihtoehtoja-highlighting. It is also important to know, does not have a main menu; You can use the GPS settings, for example, you need to turn the GPS, mode-dial-up connection first.

What makes the Coolpix P6000, so innovative (and pricey) is that it houses the actual GPS receiver, which specifies the location, as long as you are a member of the transport routes and the ground (if you go to the underground, or indoors in the extension of the last known location later photos).

This is a huge departure from other Geotagging devices on the market. Eye-Fi explore THE SD Card, used, for example, WiFi triangulation geotag of images, which means if you does not contain 90 feet Skyhook configured router, your photos are not geotag. Pharos Trips and pics, the gap is a small GPS receiver, but the charge and runs in parallel with the camera. Coolpix-P 6000 is currently the only solution that does not require users to tote for extra hardware and which can also track to the remotest corners of the country.

-Coolpix P6000 GPS ran out of the box is not enabled, because it is detrimental to the battery. Specify a dial-up connection to the GPS status-and Geotagging within menu options.There you can also customize how often you want the camera to update its location (you can do it as often as every 15 seconds, or rarely every two hours). When enabled, the GPS receiver update location, even if the camera is not turned on the camera takes up to 2. hours initially to determine customer deliverables. The timing of the purposes we have decided to stay the GPS menu until it read "GPS Updated."But users can go to taking photo mode and view the GPS icon to see if they are in possession of a service on your screen.

Our Geotagging received a bad start.We began our photos are downloaded Google Picasa, highlighting them as a batch, and then click the Geotag, which launched the Google Earth.We want to make the Google Earth map of the pictures we must immediately be; Unfortunately, it could these images close to Lawrence, Kansas, when we actually took them in New York.

Make sure this error was Google Earth — not Coolpix P6000 n — then we load our photos on Flickr and myPicturetown, which may also be associated with the photos.They, too, to invest our pictures, Lawrence.In particular, in the absence of Flickr and Picasa both set precisely our photos geotagged Eye-Fi explore THE SD Card, we chalked this error by the camera.

Undeterred, we can retain their number (s) to try the camera must be able to 21st. [1] [2] the floor of the building of the New York Office of the US GPS data update, it may turn off the coast of Kenya our location at a later date, we took the Coolpix.-P 6000-Jersey City, New Jersey, where even the outdoor camera was having problems searching for GPS signal. when we have been able to obtain the correction, the camera place again in Lawrence, Kansas in our location.

When Nikon send us the new unit, we had the City Park, the empty sky, in the middle of the US, and you clicked the Update GPS settings and 2 minutes and 55 seconds, when we have received a message that said, the upgrade is complete. [1] [2] when we pass by the geotagged our on-the-spot checks, that the same, and Picasa as well as bring myPicturetown they in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, Nikon, whose headquarters are in New York, said its staff has had problems with the city of signal receiving (although this cannot be explained by the random locations). Long story short: you may be able to more problems getting signal in urban areas. [1] [2] We show that, instead of going directly to the image mode, and on the basis of the assumption, GPS works in the background, than ever to stay connected to the GPS mode, make sure that the camera has been successfully configured location.

Pure Digital Flip UltraHD

When Pure Digital released its first Flip Video Pocket camcorder 2007, it was a game changer, guest with me too devices such as Kodak and Sony giants. Now without updates after a lengthy period of time, which is the Pure Digital now 13% in the US market, has been renovated, and offers Ultra design standard-def and high def 720 p-version, each of which has a generous amount of internal memory. Although some select smaller, cheaper models, where you can take still photos, the other is enticed by UltraHD whopping 8 GB of storage space, making it easier for the easiest way to start Shooting box ran out of $ 199.

Translate (with standard-def. Flip Ultra) UltraHD is a marriage between the last generation of the Flip Ultra and Mino series, sleeker Flip (such as the Mino HD). 4.3 x 2.2 x 1.2 inches, is about bulky than the original Ultra (4.2 x 2.2 x 1.3 inches), but it is 3.2 ounces it weighs almost the same as the Kodak Zx1, which is more compact 4.2 x 2.0 x 0.8 inches.Flip UltraHD is a black Satin with gray and silver accents on the same line in the color scheme of the Mino. ultimately something as small as possible, the Mino is from the beginning but the new Ultra resistant surface is the best design.

With all other cameras from the Pure Digital flip UltraHD is a signature,-out USB connector which Flip-line may be used instead of the name. [1] [2] a touch-sensitive controls on the Mino UltraHD is assigned to the buttons, including playback and delete buttons, and a four-way navigation pad bright red record button in the middle. Up and down arrows in the control of a 2 x digital zoom.

With the exception of maturer aesthetic UltraHD is from a number of improvements, we are excited about.2-inch screen is larger than the previous Ultra 1.5-inch LCD and is wider, the orientation of the 16: 9. Microsoft took plenty of shots was there in the afternoon and Cloudless and play our movies on the screen is not a problem. In addition, the device must respond to the 720 p resolution HDMI port. Although we have seen a lot of HD Pocket video cameras so far, HDMI output is still relatively rare.

As did its predecessors flip UltraHD is some playback buttons. enters the playback button, wait, but the camera starts immediately, you can use the filmed the last playing a clip. You must press the button again to stop it, and then use the left and right buttons to move to the platform, you can browse them. Kodak Zx1 displays thumbnails of and, therefore, intended to make it easier to finding the clip. The record mode by pressing the button and the header reenters Shooting and down buttons to operate the zoom of the felt intuitive.

Flip UltraHD is 8 GB internal memory which can store up to 2 hours of 720 p video; this is the double of the Mino HD ($ 229), which has 4 GB of internal storage time.720 p video UltraHD save 30 frames per second, although it may also reduce the rating A VIDEO GRAPHICS ARRAY (VGA). Our video I looked at the colorful, bright and sharp. Moving objects, such as cyclists, I looked at the inception of the sound playback and data were discernable, such as the face of the financial statements, the passerby and sheen, balloon oljenkorsia. Digital Zoom work well with digital zoom, but the catch is, as a general rule, that it will display the less clear picture.

We got the best results when we shall be deemed to be still in the camera. UltraHD, like other cameras in this category does not exist in the stabilization of optical image and interests, the higher the resolution, are lost when the video shows the badly. Tripod mount point is located at the bottom of the screen, but who actually engage in around the support for the Pocket camcorder tripod?

The sound quality was especially great.We have filmed the various street performers all sounded loud and clear. standing up Mics picking up with our friends at the back of the camera sounds. Finally, the video camera was very fine environments, multiple sounds at the top of each other at different levels. Our clips impact was realistic and never distorted.

We were impressed with using the built-in speaker. In our testing, we joined the large crowd around the Group of performers in the Park. Play the music Troupe, boombox, and clapped onlookers cheered.We play in our on-the-spot and the material of the scene was not hearing our problem overlaying a commotion.

Like other flip UltraHD FlipShare software makes it carried on board; box does not have the installation disc.You have installed the software when you connect it to your computer, turn off the connector.Unlike Kodak-Zx 1 is compatible with Mac and PC.

With each Flip HD software allows you to download directly from YouTube and MySpace.You can also export the video so that it is ready to download the video sharing to other sites. other sharing settings are are inviting videos and send them in cards.The download process is easy, because of the user interface and FlipShare: non-browser type your user name and password.

Flexibility to create things material you can burn a DVD, drag from the shadow copies of the material, or a movie.We've made a 4-minute and-11-seconds of the movie, by combining different we took clips. we started the drag and drop the clips we wanted them to order, Then we had the opportunity ... to add a title and end credits (you can change the font, or a transitional period).You can also add your music, select either one or all of the seven combined songs in MP3 on your computer.You can also decide if you want it to play louder, softer, or at the same level as the films in the vote.

Flexibility to edit cut at either end of the movies, but it; you'll need another program allows you to change anything else.

Flip UltraHD can store up to 2 hours of HD video. whenever you stop recording a clip, you can see on the screen exactly how many minutes of recording time is remaining. even if the battery has lasted through the afternoon shooting a brief, intermittent clips we wanted was for the useful life of the battery indicator on the screen.

Flip Ultra comes with two AA batteries, removable, rechargeable, which partly explains why it is so heavy. as a general rule, to benefit from the removable batteries is that when they die, you can pick any fresh set and continue Shooting.

Flip UltraHD is a one-year warranty.

Is HD Pocket video cameras cheaper and less than the Pure Digital Flip UltraHD, including $ 149 Kodak Zx1, which also take still photos. $ 199 UltraHD is, however, a generous 8 GB internal memory. [1] [2] in addition, many of the Flip's competitors are not Mac-compatible, but the UltraHD is a little bulky. Although, UltraHD offers the perfect storage capacity for video and audio quality and to facilitate the use of money.

Looxcie Wearable Camcorder

Although it is similar to the oversized Bluetooth headset, Artiman ventures ' Looxcie is designed for those who do not want to miss a thing unique wearable video camera. What makes $ 199 Looxcie device differs from that of the other small video cameras is that, when it is enabled, it must be continually posting. Used in conjunction with a smart tag to a phone and free Android app, it allows users to capture short clips and share them immediately on the Web. This device is certainly innovative, but it looks and feels like the first generation product. Learn learn how very Looxcie works in the real world.

 With the exception of an exchange of letters concerning the extension of its obvious white boom may forward Looxcie ruokana great Bluetooth headset. Still, it is an elegant spy-tech-aura, as something may receive information regarding: impossible.A few people gave us a quizzical, it seems that even when wearing around New York Looxcie, but most people seemed to the camera body may be oblivious. Looxcie should have been a black mask it more, but in this case, so perhaps it more sinister intentions luonnehtimisella than capturing your own child scoring the winning goal.

Overall, Looxcie was comfortable to wear, but we had problems keeping in place. Earbud can be rotated 180 degrees, so you can use it on either side of your head.Although rubber coated wire allows you to change it to fit your ear, turn off the device löystynyt Looxcie too easily when we walked around the. Moreover, it is difficult to use if you are a sports pairs of glasses. With the jib adjusted to an angle of the camera can use to work around a few degrees to the right or to the left to get to the level of the picture, but we've found our smart tag on the phone easier to use viewfinder (learn more about that later).

Red light glass below indicates, the device is recording; Green power light is the underside earbud. Earbud is on the opposite side of the power/call button; microUSB port is part of the code, which looks for your ear to the back.Further up is the volume button and covered with a layer of polyethylene of Record button (the capture long clips are used). the camera to the underside of the beam is not Instant Clip button; Press this button if you want to save the video in the last 30 seconds.If you press and hold the button, also clip Looxcie to automatically send to the recipient, if you have pre-set intelligent phone Looxcie-app in a range of cells.

Although large, record button at the top of the remaining Looxcie do find it difficult to know, find the button on the headset to the device, and it remains to be seen kanssaYritettiin find often. Fortunately, you can use smart tags in the phone app stop and start recording too.

When saving Looxcie has constantly, it does not permanently save the clip, unless you either press the device record or Instant Clip button (or use the Android app). When you want to take a few moments, it is apparent from the top of the Clip, press the device button Capture instant messages video in the last 30 seconds and save it as a permanent clip.

A nice bonus, the camera is also a Bluetooth headset and you will be able to answer calls and to retain a recording of the video at the same time. When capturing video at the same time, answer calls, mutes the sound way to keep your call Looxcie video.

Accompanied by Looxcie Android app (We installed it, Samsung Dragon) turns on the phone I am looking for a remote control, and modify the tool to create clips for 30 minutes in length. The application is simple and easy-to-use: viewfinder is particularly useful because it allows you to also remove the recorder on and off without having to fiddle the record button on the device and it can be used to adjust the headset, make sure that it is, however, we wish you the best level. remained, even when I am looking for me does not actively recording a clip. The application is also a handy icon, which shows how much battery is left on the camera.

Video by selecting the application to display all like a long, continuous clip Looxcie stored video. Editing tool makes it easy for you to select a block of text by using the video and save it to the individual clip. Than most things in life is one percent of exciting and boring 99%; just going through the hours of video from the us to find something meaningful was burdensome. Therefore, it is a good idea to use the record button with care.

The clips are sent was not exactly what we had hoped for instantaneous process. took Clips for 5-10 minutes to download and mail our smart phone. You can quickly split clips, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.However, you cannot send e-mail clips that are larger than 4 MB (about 40 seconds worth of video); you will receive an error message, saying the clip was too large to send. Fortunately, you can also transfer videos from your camera to your computer with the USB cable.

Most of the instant clips sharing was easy to do. However, occasionally, the application crashed when saving and never sent a clip. Looxcie reported that they were beta-issues that are resolved.Our first test after the application is updated, and the app no longer crashes.

15 frames/sec;Looxcie captures HVGA (480 x 320 resolution) video of most of the smart phones to capture better quality material, so you can you are trading at any time and anywhere in the convenience of fewer pixels.Camera 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory may store up to five hours of footage or hundreds of 30-second clips (up to 3 hours).

The camera works best in bright, well-lit areas.When we have captured the Battery Park in New York City, some of the tabs, the colors were accurate and lively.Dimly lit areas, such as adjusting the camera had problems with the restaurant and the video was a murky.

It helps to have in place, but characterization;We found that we have recorded at the same time, walking around, the video was a little unclear and poorly.In addition, while wearing the camera, we got the false sense that we were recording exactly what eyes saw; When we looked at the back of the material, objects, we thought were on the other side of the frame were disabled or another.

We were surprised by how long the battery lasted; we Looxcie have been able to obtain a good 4-5 hours depending on how often we are accustomed to the device. If you are sending to capture video clips at the same time, on an ongoing basis, the battery will run you get quickly to the .app viewfinder is also the battery icon, so you can keep track of and how much time is left in the camera's battery. Looxcie is confirmed year warranty.

Like most new technology no one intends to get it right the first time and $199-Looxcie is no exception. Although it is an innovative idea and pretty well run is that we, in particular, such as the Android app--only the most serious bloggers or significantly with it at the beginning of the plagues brought. in addition, each recording always die (Deutsche Illuminati elite)-displays the Orwellian. Camera seemed to be invasive, particularly when we tried to serious happen with another user. Yes, security cameras installed almost everywhere, but Looxcie is literally on your face. [1] [2] Ironically, though, we found very little interest when screening through material--hours worth saving is really moments much and few between. the addressees of the loose fit, low quality video from the history and social impact of the searches is the most exciting video camera Looxcie.

Nikon Coolpix P80

But not to the superzoom cameras are for everyone, large for people who love taking photos, outdoor and sports events. They are also ideal for seriously folks who either cannot afford to — or too intimidated to digital SLRs — blown completely. Such as DSLR Nikon Coolpix P80 18 X ($ 399) is a powerful properties of glass and manual aplenty, but it is smaller and easier to use. Add an excellent image quality and burst Shooting and you have yourself one of the most versatile digicam.

You will find information about the P80 first — after its huge lens housing — is that it is surprisingly lightweight. 12.9 Ounces is lighter than 15, 9-Ounce Canon PowerShot S5 IS, which is only 12 X lens.P80 DSLR Chunky shape, displays the rubbery grip and I am looking for a hand, but the lens is low, taking into account the 18 X zoom factor (less than two inches long when turned off) at the top you will find the power switch,. mode dial-up connection and shutter, zoom with attached to manage Change.

We had the opportunity to see a bright 2-inch LCD monitor 7, even is the direct sunlight. Menus, playback, display onscreen settings, deleting buttons in parallel, content, and switching between the viewfinder and the LCD. A four-way navigation pad doubles in Flash, self-timer, macro, exposure, and controls.We had no problem this control allows you to navigate the menus; exit menus requires simply by pressing the, that is to say, the playback or menu button a second time. Compared to the S5 IS, whose vanun is full of buttons, P80 layout is simple to master.

P80 trimming mode dial-up networking includes the units for auto, programmed auto, Aperture priority, auto, Shutter Bar-Translator automatic, manual, Sports, Movie, Scene in the continuous and, in particular, the three auto settings. space selection is wide, not good and you are a beginner, advanced and all photogs. However, the choice of transport modes 11 scene is relatively small; P80 $ 349 of the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ 18, another 18 X Zoom camera is 18 scene modes, as well as the intelligent scene detection automatically select the correct mode.

The zoom Switch produces jerky movement of the lens and make it difficult for the subtle depth adjustment. That said, this is one of the powerful zoom. 35 Mm camera equivalent to 27-486mm lens skyscrapers at the same time, we will help you get the top edges of the frame shots in full accordance with the opinion of the standing in the street. Closer to the ground, we can draw up a second away from New York City's Bryant Park, which takes about two city blocks sitting man in the face.

As the point-and-shoot P80 of beautiful images with a lively and accurate colors. Our macro shots showed a lot of details, even the shadows and we love how the macro icon changes on the screen, in order to demonstrate that the lens is so close to the target color.This sufficient lentäjiensä backlit situations, but we wanted to see a separate dynamic range technology offered by Fujifilm, property, Panasonic and Sony, inter alia, that, especially in the lens. [1] [2] this versatile technology highlights and shadow detail designed would have been useful. Instead, the P80 is d-Lighting feature that can help you improve the highlights and shadows in after you took the picture (you can see the before and after the side-by-side before you click OK).

We do not, such as impressed with your performance a little light-P80. Taking pictures in auto mode, produced by the blurry dimly lit room while we sat pictures — down to the steady shot (by analogy to the FZ18 delivered a noisy shots past ISO 800).When we are in the space of the party, the second 11 scene-the status of our pictures became sharper but was still the warm and romantic lighting.

The biggest part of the optical image stabilisation, P80 and vibration reduction does, what it is supposed to produce sharp images: even when a subject or a photographer's hands are placed. When it became rapidly moving scenes, even though the Auto mode does not cut; We are still noticed a good deal with the motion blur.The following types of situations as they arise, Nikon has Sports Continuous status, which lasts for a period of not more than 13 frames per second (up to 30 frames) when you can manually reduce the amount of 3 megapixels. You can still enjoy this feature in the full-resolution; just does not get as many shots per second.

We are more than 30 consecutive shots, in 3 Georgian RedBrick town houses which tries to avoid scurrying passing oncoming traffic, the man took the and ended 30 freeze-frames for you to choose from.When you shoot in front of your eyes, will slow down the movement of the screen.30 Shots processing 10 MP lasted for 15 seconds;It is not so effective, taking into account the fact that the Casio EX-F1 can handle 60 shots (6) once in the same amount of MP — but then again EX-F 1 cost more than twice as much., when you view the Annoyingly these photos in playback mode, you can browse through them one at a time.We wish Nikon would, as well as with the Casio EX-F1 — organize consecutive shots in the same folder so that users cannot override them in the past 30 with a single click.

Our VGA video showed liquid movement and accurate sound, but sounded weak in a noisy in the room, not as good as the Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS that HD recording louder voice in order to provide you with information, even if it would be in the midst of heavy environments.You will not be able to use the optical zoom during filming;You can set the zoom feature, where you want it, before you start burning. However, you can use the digital zoom (only 2 X) at the same time, characterization, who is still more than many other cameras allows you to make, in addition to it we had ... gave us, leverage will be satisfied, even though it paled we still shots we received 18 x, as compared to the Nikon says the region., users will not be able to move the Optical zoom of the movie mode, since this made it difficult to keep the camera still, while filming.

P80 revealed decent startup speeds — just 2 seconds to ready itself to its first picture. However, the 4 seconds it took for a continuous period of shots (when use Sports Continuous mode), which is slower in performance from the days of Shooting in close proximity between. sata images, including a few burst in the computerized file of consignments of the battery was still going strong.

Nikon Coolpix P80 lightweight body inside is a versatile camera ingredients: a powerful 18 X zoom lens, optical image stabilisation, much of the manual features and highly effective Sports Continuous mode for Low light Shooting burst. performance and limited zoom Movie mode have drawbacks, but it is still in the process We've tested the best Super zooms. If the previous step and, more generally, whether you're a beginner, you do a lot of Shooting outside the P80 $ 399 price tag is one of its values.
