Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
in ink now that A4 photos are pin-sharp!
I?ve also noticed that photos are now more ?A4? shaped compared to previous experience where they were strictly 4:3 format which suits me fine. Likewise, movies can be shot in 16:9 mode to suit an ever-larger number of televisions.

It?s all too easy to read professional reviews that talk of a lack of sharpness at full aperture and full zoom and be put off by them. Then you read that they?re talking about blowing up the outer edge of the picture about 10 times, just so that some nit-picker can say, ?See I told you it wasn?t pin-sharp!?

I have found that the prices of Nikon DSLRs haven't decreased significantly over the last 3 years, so I decided (maybe wrongly) that this option would save me money in the long run. I found that it is very important to go into a shop and hold the camera in your hands before making a choice. All the photography shop assistants said that the Canon series was just as good as the Nikons, but I discounted them because I didn't get on with the feel ...

I do like being nosey and I always spy on my neighbours it gives me a sense of well being and although I have been to the dr about this apparently its not a mental condition. I just enjoy looking at things, i'm no peeping tom but I really do enjoy watching the birds whether they have wings or legs... Anyway enough about my social life, today I am reviewing this pair of Nikon10x 42 binoculars! They are fantastic and have the following great features:
All lenses and prisms are multilayer coated for the brightest images
Phase correction coated roof prisms for high resolution
High-reflection mirror-coating prisms for bright image
High-eyepoint design provides a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers
Close focusing distance : 2.5m
Eco-glass optics free of lead and arsenic
Waterproof and fog-free with O-ring seals ...
