Digital-Camera Reviews

Unfortunately, Nikon made the Nikon Coolpix 5000 with a non-threaded lens front, and this adapter tube is required for several accessories. The metal tube is accurately made and well-crafted, and works well for its intended purposes. But I can't imagine Nikon engineers and designers could not find a simpler, more elegant solution to accessory lenses and macro lights.

I own the Nikon Coolpix 775 for almost two years now. It's a great camera with great picture quality for a limited budget. It is working flawlessly, except a problem that persisted, where the date was reset everytime i turn off the camera (without even removing the battery. My friend who also bought the 775, had the same problem with his cam. But the picture quality prevails and my next digital will surely be a Nikon.

I like using my Coolpix 4500 while kayaking. Trying to see the LCD in the sun was futile, especially since I did not have one hand free to shade the LCD. For awhile I just used the viewer, but then I could not take pictures at water level, which is one of the reasons I bought the camera.

A hood is the answer. This one comes with a thin frame bracket. You attach it to the perimeter of the camera's LCD. You have to peel away a paper coating that reveals a sticky coating. Just press the frame in place (Nikon provides two brackets).

The hood has a tab on the top and bottom. You just snap it into the bracket when you need to use it. I found that it stays tight. The only problem you may have is where to store the hood. Nikon claims you can press it flat. You can, but when you wish to use it again, it is somewhat out of shape. You have to work it a bit before it's rectangular again. I just don't fold mine.

I picked up this charge in combination with my Nikon 3100 camera. Since the battery it came with lasted a whole hour, I thought that the rechargeable would be a better option.

It ended up being a yes and no. Yes, this thing is tiny, so it is easy to travel, carry and store. Yes it does charge in about 2 1/2 hours.

Only problem is, after 2 hours of charging you get about 15-30 minutes worth of usuage.

My recommendation is to go ahead and buy this, but get several pairs of batteries. This way you will have atleast one set ready to go, when the others die unexpectantly.

I ordered this cable to use with my olympus c-3000z camera, which has 5-pin syncro outlet. usually, most of SLR cameras and prosumer digital cameras have pc (cord) outlet. but, unfortunately, my olympus camera doesn't have it!!! (what a shame thing....! olympus!)
So there is no choice but to use this cord to use external flash.
(don't forget to buy flash bracket if you are using one of olympus 20X0, 30X0, 40X0 series cameras.)
as you know, this cable is expensive compared to pc cord. most of pc cord cables are about 5-10 dollar and they are easily found in many camera shops near your home.
this cord is coiled and tough enough to use at any conditions.
but it's not long enough to use long range off-camera flash shooting situation. so if you have a plan to use long range off-camera flash, you'd better buy "pc extension cord(female-male)."

p.s. dont forget this: this cable is only for olympus cameras and it has pc cord tip(male). if you wanna female tip, just buy FL-CB04!!

I measure this battery with tester it has 950mAh which takes a lot of photos than the Ni-MH AA. Just take a 2nd one for travel instead of a box of AA, it is a good idea to come with the new compact Oly cameras.

I was worried about spending 500.00 for a printer, which I knew nothing about, but after reading reviews on Google.com I felt comfortable about doing it. The quality comes out great. You can't go wrong with getting this printer. One thing I did notice, it left a scratch on my prints, when I printed 4X6 images. I have not had a chance to see if it was a one time fluke or what. I'm waiting for more paper to arrive.

The digital camera put out by Leica, The Leica Digilux 1, is a very impressive camera. The sales rep at the camera store told me that Leica partnered with Panasonic to develop that camera.

Surprise surprise! Panasonic comes out with an almost identical camera with the same exact Leica Lens that is in the Leica version.

The price is lower :-)

The biggest difference I can see from the spec sheet is:

Leica - Lightweight Magnesium Body (Believe me, it is lite)
Panasonic doesn't list this as a feature so I assume they don't have it.

Leica comes with a 64 MB SD Card
Panasonic comes with a 32 MB SD Card

They seem to be the only differences. I imagine these two points account for a bulk of the price differential.

If you want a Leica digital camera but don't want to pay the Leica price, then this would seem to be the way to go.

Adquiri esta pequeña camara hace un mes aproxidamente y tenia mis dudas acerca de la calidad de las fotos que podria obtener, pero me anime a adquirirla despues de revisar un buen numero de "reviews" publicados en Internet, y sobre todo el de Steve's Digicams, el cual ofrece imagenes de muestra en variadas circunstancias y en la maxima resolucion. Luego de efectuada la comparacion con otras camaras dentro del mismo rango de precios, llegue a la conclusion que la calidad de las fotos, en brillo, resolucion y nitidez (sharpness) eran muy similares entre la Canon A75, Nikon 3200 y esta - la LC50, estando por encima del resto de camaras, pero note que ligeramente el nivel de ruido era mejor trabajado en la LC50, ademas de tener ligeramente mas nitidez que la A70 y la Nikon 3200.
Y bueno, me decidi a adquirir esta camara y como mencione anteriormente, luego de casi un mes de uso, los resultados han sido bastante satisfactorios, he podido obtener fotos bastante claras y nitidas y las tomas nocturnas, presentan bajos niveles de ruido. El aspecto negativo vendria a ser que esta camara es hecha de plastico y seguro muchos usuarios preferiran una camara mas solida, como las que se fabrican actualmente de metal, con el objeto de tener una camara mas duradera y segura al tacto, pero los fabricante utilizan este material a fin de reducir costos y ofrecer productos al alcance de todos.
De otro lado, la camara ofrece tres niveles de ajustes para la imagen, siendo la opcion de "Vivid Colors" la que utilizo con mas frecuencia, sobre todo para retratar paisajes, monumentos, etc y el modo "Normal" para retrar personas.
Considero que esta camara es altamente recomendable, para las personas que requieran una camara portatil, ligera, de facil manejo y confiable...
Como informacion adicional, recomiendo que cuando se revise la calidad de las fotos que una camara pueda tomar, se utilize un monitor TFT LCD, ya que estas pantallas son bastante sensibles y detectan niveles de "ruido" que no son detectables con las monitores convencionales.... esto lo digo por que he leido muchos reviews y comentarios alabando las caracteristicas de ciertas camaras, cuyos defectos en la imagen son altamente perceptibles en un monitor LCD, pudiendo ser engañosos.

In a word, fabulous!
In 6 months the only trouble ive had with this product is dropping it down 2 flights of concrete stairs, which caused the lens cover to snap off. No worries though, it just clipped strait back on :D

This camera is brilliant for whatever mode you want to take your pictures in, it has all sorts of functions for indoor, outdoor, cloudy, different lighting. There are several different kinds of flash, which is handy, but when you set the camera not to have a flash, the picture will be VERY blurry, even if you rest the camera on a flat surface. The play mode is brilliant, allowing you to scroll through your images or select one from a grid with all displayed in. You can zoom in and out of a picture you have just taken too. I havnt used a memory card with it yet but ive found the capacity to be sufficient. If this is your first camera, i would suggest buying rechargable batteries as the camera eats though them. Buying cheap batteries in bulk wont help, the cheapest ones will take about a picture each before the camera turns off.

In all, a fantastic camera, with the only slight disadvantages of battery consumpion, and blury pictures WHEN theres no flash.
