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

KONICA KD 400Z - A nice compact camera.

Advantages: Small, compact, good display screen, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Red eye control is poor, and pictures can be grainy when taken in poor lighting

...I thought that it is about time I updated this review again, so I have added a bit more info. Having broken my last camera, which was a 1.3 megapixel Oregon Scientific with no LCD screen, it was time to start looking around for a new one. The prices of cameras have come down dramatically over the last couple of years, and so we decided to go for a 4 megapixel camera. We trawled the internet looking for a good deal, and found the Konica. I paid £247 for this camera, but have seen them on the net since for £174. This camera has since been superseded by the Konica KD 410Z which my husband has bought. (But that is in anotherreview.) The Konica KD 400Z doesn?t come with a lot of memory, so we bought a 256MB memory card for it. On a 256MB card, I get 144 pictures at the highest resolution, but even on a 64 MB card, you can get 40...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-220Z

Konica Revio - the revolution

Advantages: look at the opinon
Disadvantages: look at the opinion

...Since I participate a half year proud owner of a Konica Revio Z2. I was on the search after a camera, should have the next feature. Small and easy, with it still zoom, if the date should possibly appear on the pictures as well and it should possess all new attribute. How lightning against red eyes, automatic lightning, etc. The further wanted me I with films no longer with the puts in around-argues and archives no negative-strips more. Consequently, I decided as first in favor of an APS-Kamera. APS = Advanced photo system. It is here about a small-picture-film, that is accommodated in a cassette. Consequently the film slips to the one and one gets back this cassette to the other after the development again. So that one can now assign pictures again, each picture has a film-number, that appears also on the cassette. With this...

Konica Minolta 2550 - a step up from the entry level printer

Advantages: Quality prints, quiet
Disadvantages: A little expensive to run

...The Magicolor 2550 is positioned as one of Konica Minolta's entry level colour laser printers, well almost entry level, as it offers some very nice features without taking the price of the device too high. The specification on offer from this full colour model is a cracking 20ppm (pages per minute) in monochrome and 5ppm in full colour. The native resolution is 600dpi with a x4 dithering method which beefs this up to an effective 2,400dpi. The model on review here is the standard model, which has 128MB of memory, is network ready and offers Postscript 3 printer language in addition to PCL6 and PDF support. The 2550DN which is the next model up adds a built-in duplexer and has 256MB of memory, it also adds Pictbridge support for direct connection of a compatible digital camera. Both models are capable of handling a monthly duty cycle...

Review of Konica Minolta magicolor 2550

Can Konica?

Advantages: Tiny, very cute, great pictures
Disadvantages: Viewing screen size and quality

...You might have read my reviews of other digital cameras recently, I seem to be a bit obsessed with them! Anyway, this is my latest acquisition! Well, it was really a gift for my daughter, who requested a digital camera that was "small and cool looking" for Christmas. This was the choice that I made for her. In the interests of research for this review, I have used the camera on several trips and am now very familiar with how it operates. The first thing that I must mention is that this is a SMALL camera!! It makes my other cameras look and feel like bricks. It is the size of a pack of cards, but feels quite solid and substantial. Its small size doesn't make it feel cheap and lightweight. The body is silver and mostly metal with a plastic sliding cover for the lens. The camera is supplied with a lanyard but no case/pouch, this...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE X31

Excellent camera

Advantages: Small enough to carry all the time, good picture quality
Disadvantages: Not enough warning of battery failure

...I received one of these tiny APS cameras as a Christmas present nearly three years ago. It is a sleek silver camera that fits nicely in my handbag (which is very handy - I used it to take pictures at the scene of a minor car crash I was involved in where the other driver refused to give her details - the pictures helped us to win our case with the insurance company). The camera is very easy to use at a basic level (point and shoot gives very good results), but the menus are a little more complex. I'm not keen on 'writing' things on my pictures, so if I wanted to put the date or a message on them then I'd have to refer to the instruction booklet. This is very clear, with lots of diagrams to refer to, but I have to confess that I've not used all the features my camera has to offer. I have used it to take pictures at night (very good...

Review of Konica Super Big Mini BM-S 100 Compact Camera

vanguard Camera case

Advantages: cheap price, safe and durable, waterproof, and camera protective
Disadvantages: Made in china, available in black only.

...background to Vanguard until I started to write this review I had no idea who they were. I searched online and read a few reviews about the company. The company specialise in manufacturing Camera bags, Binoculars, Tripods and Cases for guns to name a few products. The companies customers include major Camera manufacturers. vanguard Camera Case for a Camera case it is a low priced entry level Camera Case used to hold, store and allow the user to move around with a Camera inside the Pouch. The Camera Case is black coloured throughout. The Case has the Vanguard's logo encased on the closing part of the Pouch. Also the material is polyester and I suppose that it is good that it is not made from leather as the leather in the summer weather reacts to the heat. This Camera Case also adheres to the international quality...

Review of Vanguard LIMA 6B Case Camera

Caught on Camera

Advantages: Help prevent accidents
Disadvantages: Big fines

...Speed cameras are one of the best inventions ever thought up, it is just a shame our councils and police can not put them to better use. The sole purpose of out friendly little Gatso should / was originally to deter speeding and therefore cut the number of accidents involving excess speed. I live at the bottom of a fairly large hill, which happens to be a major through road. Halfway up the hill is a primary school, because of the nature of the hill and the fact at the top of it, it changes from national speed limit to 30mph I have personally witnessed 1000's of car coming down the hill at 40mph plus, why is there not a speed camera there I will never know. Leicester City council have recently announced they are doubling the number of speed cameras in the county, they also announced where they will be situated, I feel that is...

Review of Speed Cameras

  Lights Camera Action

Advantages: Looks, The feel, Excellent pictures, Dual-memory card-slot, Intuitive, Fast startup
Disadvantages: Digital manual, Dodgy focus in low exposure areas, Lacking a few modes, battery level indicator, beautiful blue light can be irritating

...The Konica KD-400Z is a high end digital compact camera, it is a (nearly) 4 Megapixel (2304x1704) camera boasting a 3x optical zoom lens, and a whole lot more. To the layman, it?s almost as good looking/stylish as a Canon Digital Ixus, but has far more capability. This camera was launched in Spring 2002 and currently retails for £338 (via internetcamerasdirect.co.uk; which Jessops will price-match), though expect its price to fall soon as it?s near the end of its production run, and has already been superceded by the 5 Megapixel KD-500Z? >> Basic Specs >> As I said, this is a 4 Megapixel digital still camera with a 3x zoom lens (39-117mm equivalent), it also has a 2x digital zoom function as well as the capability to shoot short .mov files and voice memos. This is just a novelty feature (which takes about a minute to set up) that...
