Canon NP E3 Nickel Metal Hydride

Canon Quality

Advantages: Same Canon quality we have come to expect, great ISO capabilities.
Disadvantages: Buttons can get fiddly in the cold.

Canon 500D Introduction Canons range of cameras is very impressive. Everyone can be accommodated for, there really is something for everyone. Camera Itself First off, the camera. The sensor on this model has a larger pixel count than many of its rivals and cheaper models in the range. The 15.1 megapixels on offer is more than enough for the market it is aimed at, these images will easily be blown up above A3 and still retain most of the detail. The new addition to this camera that sets it apart from the older models is the Full 1080p movies. Many photographers don?t like this new mode but if you don?t, then simply don?t use it. Having the functionality of a high quality video camera on family holidays and such will be welcomed by the enthusiast market at which this is aimed toward. One problem I found ...

Review of Canon EOS 500D

Sony NH AA-2DB Nickel Metal Hydride

Advantages: Last a long time when charged properly.
Disadvantages: Nothing really.

can be used but I really find these the easiest, even though the charging time is a bit longer than other brands it does seem that the batteries themselves do give a better quality when being charged up. Bottom line is that if you charge up the batteries as per the process they will not let you down. Although I was stupid enough to leave these on the shelf at home and not use them for a while, after they were charged up, I ended with a 10 minute life from the batteries, before I had to replace them. The first set that I had, I used for more than 8 months regularly and worked out that if I pay £3.99 for 4 batteries every two weeks then the rechargeable batteries will save money over the long run. It is also helpful for the environment as used batteries are not being thrown away to slowly decompose in a landfill suite somewhere, so ...

Review of Sony NH AA-2DB - Camera battery 2 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

NP30 Review

Advantages: piano sound quality, light weight/ portable, graded touch keys, affordable
Disadvantages: 76 note not full 88 note keyboard

Given the price, the NP30 has a sensational sound quality, accurately reproducing a full grand piano sound, putting far more expensive digital pianos to shame! Although there are a few other keyboard sounds included, the main reason for buying an NP30 has to be for it's quality piano sound. The compactness and light weight of the 76 note keyboard is amazing...perfect for gigging and where space in a room is at a premium. How they fitted the graded touch in there is incredible. For young pianists learning piano for the first time, the NP30 is an attractive and affordable option. For pianists taking more advanced graded piano exams, who require the full 88 notes...the Yamaha P85, (basically NP30's big brother) is a very good option. My recommendation would be to purchase the NP30, (or P85) with the optional sustain pedal. This ...
