Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

Zoom Zoom Zoom......

Advantages: Professionally laid out online surveys. Product testing.
Disadvantages: Some awful incentive gifts

...~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~ I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first. Despite promising the potential to earn rewards and cash through ZoomPoints, the first 10 or 11 surveys they offered me only qualified me for entry into a sweepstake or prize draw. I'm afraid that I very swiftly pull the plug on any survey company only offering entries into prize draws, as in over 2 years of survey work, I have yet to win anything from any survey company prize draw or raffle. I fail to see why I should spend my valuable time completing a survey for which I get little or no reward, when you can bet your bottom dollar the company hosting it is being handsomely rewarded. However, I am most glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as ZoomPanel have proved to be a good...

My First Digital Camera - A Gushy Tribute

Advantages: Bargain buy and provides high quality pictures
Disadvantages: Bit on the bulky side

...Okay, I was walking down the main shopping street in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I passed a high-street electrical goods retailer. And there, in the window, I saw her!!! She was blown up in a large promotional poster, and allI could do was stare at her figure(s)! Reduced from 250 pounds to 129 pounds! 4 million pixels! Zoom! Flash! 60 second video recorder! I had to have her there and then! Luckily I had the money in my account as I had just received a nice little tax rebate (ha ha ha ha). What better way to spend free money than on my first digital camera. In the store, I was met by an extremely friendly and helpful clerk who showed me the camera. He was confident in the product as he didn't give me any instructions - only that the camera was very easy to use. My girlfriend has had a digital camera for quite a while, so some...

Review of Fuji Finepix S3500 Zoom Digital Camera

A 570mm Zoom Digital Camera

Advantages: upto 570mm zoom, movie mode, macro, a complete photography solution in one package
Disadvantages: slow to focus and shoot, no manual focus, advertising in software, registration terms and conditions

...Fuji FinePix 2800Zoom This digital camera is another in Fuji`s fine lineage. But I`m confused as to why other manufacturers aren`t offering any competition! No competition? It`s true, there is no competition in the sub-£500 digital camera market for a model with the equivalent of a 570mm zoom. What`s even more amazing is that I managed to pick mine up for just £269 brand spanking new. The full zoom option is only available in VGA resolution mode, the lowest available, and this is perfectly reasonable for website publishing. Even in high-resolution (2 megapixel - the highest) mode, you still have access to the 6x optical zoom, which equates to approximately 228mm. In between you also have access to the 2x digital zoom. At 1 megapixel resolution, when combined with the optical zoom, it can achieve a maximum zoom equivalence...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix 2800 Zoom

A camera with outstanding quality

Advantages: Crisp clear pictures, 3 photo settings (stlye of photo), various camera settings (long distance, etc), types of camera flash.
Disadvantages: Floresent lights effect quality of photo.

...I have had a APS camera for nearly as long as they have been out on sale. I was not to sure wether I should buy the camera or not as they had not been on the market for long so no-one knew what the products were properly like, and what its faults were. I thought I would try out the camera as I needed a new one due a battery leak in me previous camera, so I decided to buy the Fujifilm - fotonex 200ix zoom camera from Boots. There was quite a few cameras to choose from, but I thought I would go for this one as it was a mid priced camera and looked good and felt great to take photos with. The camera was about £150 but you can find them for about a 1/3rd of the price now. The camera has a wide range of functions. These are: Panoramic, HDTV, and standard photos Clear view finder 10 sec timer variuos flash settings e.g. fill in...

Review of Fujifilm Fotonex 200ix zoom Compact Camera

Come fly with me on Zoom.

Advantages: Low cost airline with Premium seating available.
Disadvantages: Only fly from a few airports in UK

...A few years ago we planned to go to Canada and cross the Rockies and then cruise to Alaska to celebrate our Ruby Wedding and retirement. But as my husband got voluntary redundancy last October we decided to bring the celebration holiday forward to this summer, why put off something that we can do now! We emailed a travel agent who specialised in Canadian travel and literally said what we wanted and what could they offer. The flight to Calgary and returning from Vancouver was with Zoom. I hadn't even heard of Zoom, my husband said it was a low cost flight. Knowing it would be a long flight I was somewhat concerned as my experiences with Easyjet and Ryanair haven't been very positive. So after doing some research online we asked the travel agent to upgrade our seats to Premium. Advantages of a Premium seat...

Review of Zoom Airlines

Great APS camera but

Advantages: small; full of features; trusted brand
Disadvantages: uses too many batteries

...this is without a doubt one of the best APS cameras on the market. It's nearly the smallest and has one of the most poweful zooms. It also has a whole host of cool features - lots of different flashes, auto-focus etc.. My previous compact was a 35mm Olympus zoom as well - it was about 5 times the size of this one and a whole heap heavier. I'm pretty pleased with this camera overall. It's so small that I take it with me more frequently - the photo quality is also good - as good as APS can get anyway. If you're thinking of getting an APS or already have one but are disappointed with the picture quality here are a few hints: Take photos in HDTV format - this is how they're all stored anyway - it gives you the best resolution. Use Fuji Colour film instead of Kodak - I have regularly found that Kodak APS films are grainy when...

Zoom zoom

Advantages: ?
Disadvantages: good light camera

...Smile please by mumsymary - written on 08.09.06 - Rating: (5 of 5 possible stars) Advantages small camera takes great pictures Disadvantages ? Last year I was very sad I woke up to find my house had been burgled the car stolen and my digital camera boohoo, but my insurance did pay out most of what was lost and I was sent vouchers for Jessop. So I went to Jessop to buy a replacement camera the one I choose was the Casio Exilim EX-Z750 Digital Camera, it's a zoom camera.

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z750

Awesome camera, but note limitations before you buy

Advantages: Easy to use, spot focus feature helpful, fits in pocket
Disadvantages: A little loud and flash options hard to use

...This camera stands out from the other P&S cameras for the following reasons: - The curved clamshell design means you can put it in your pants pocket. It doesn't stick out uncomfortably like other cameras. - It has one of the longest zoom in its class -- pretty handy when you're doing close ups. - Has all standard features in one small package (quartz dating, autofocus, autoexposure, auto loading and rewinding, self-timer) plus many of the more advanced features: Spot focusing, variable-power flash with back-light correction, flash off override, and dioptmeter. I bought the camera last year and have been field-testing it for the past year. Since that time, I've gone through about 12 rolls of film on the same original battery. Some thoughts about the camera: Features I liked The camera was really handy since it is...

Fuji FinePix 4900 Zoom - Great Camera!

Advantages: excellent colours and sharpness
Disadvantages: Really need a fast charger and spare battery

...Why write a review of an outdated model you may ask. I realize that newer models have now superseded this camera but the reason for this review is that there should still be plenty of second user 4900 Zoom cameras to be found. Having been used to Canon AE1, an excellent quality SLR camera, and having stupidly sold it to go digital, I found myself really missing the quality I had been used to. My first digital camera was, in fact, a Fuji FinePix. It was one of their very early models and although it was then considered to be one of the better quality models it obviously could not begin to compare to my SLR Canon. After a year or so of very disappointing photos I eventually bought my 4900 Zoom from eBay and I was the second user. It cost me £300 a couple of years ago, although I expect you could get one for even less now...
