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...

Olympus C920 Digital Camera

Advantages: Low cost, good looks, high image quality, TFT screen
Disadvantages: Slow transfer speeds to the PC using the serial lead

...After a brief jaunt into the world of digital cameras with a simple little webcam, I decided to splash out on a full digital camera. After a while looking at what was on offer, I decided on the Olympus C-920 digital camera. The camera itself is a sleek looking design, with a metallic golden tinge. a sliding lens cap activates the camera, and the lens protrudes from within the camera once the lens cover is slid back. There is also a built-in flash for low light conditions. On the back, there are a few buttons for controlling the camera, along side a high quality 1.8" TFT screen for viewing the pictures you have taken, or for previewing your shot before you take it, instead of using the more traditional view-finder. The camera's resolution is a respectable 1280x960, making the CCD a healthy 1.3 megapixels in size. At SHQ...

Olympus FE-150 Digital Camera Review

Advantages: Good quality, durable, long battery-life and easy-to-use
Disadvantages: use xD card (high price)

...Good quality, durable, long battery-life and easy-to-use are my preference in choosing a digital camera and this Olympus FE-150 responses all my need. Firstly, 5.0 Mega pixels delivers as much detailed pictures as an amatuer photographer needed. Many people believe that higher resolution digital cameras (e.g. 7.0M, 10.0M) produce better quality photos but it is not always true because many of them never turn-on 'Maximum' resolution to save memord card space. I'm using sub-maximum quality and it produces good quality photos for me. Secondly, I've used this camera for more than a year and it's metallic design makes it durable and easy-to-clean. It did accidentally fall to the ground for a few times but still working as good as it should. Thirdly, unlike some products, Li-ion rechargeable battery which is included in...

Review of Olympus FE-150

olympus, .... king of cameras!

Advantages: slimline, compact, quality!
Disadvantages: no viewfinder....thats about it!

...I actually bought the blue coloured mju 700, purely for the fact that i just really love the colour. you'll find that the mju 700 is available in silver, orange and blue. from what i've found searching around for the best deal, the blue is the most expensive, then the orange, then the silver (which is the cheaper of all three colours: available for about £163.89). even so, i bought this camera for £173.90 (from amazon.co.uk), and am absolutely delighted with it. i only ever buy olympus digital cameras (as i would a manual camera). it's a brand that i've used for many years that i trust and have had continuous quality results from. when i opened the box, i couldn't believe how light and slimline this camera was.....honestly, its sooooo diddy! everything was neatly concealed in this small blue olympus box (see list below of contents...

Canon DCC-80 Digital Camera Case

Advantages: Extra compartments for accesories
Disadvantages: Not as padded as other cases

...These days, most people own digital cameras. But not everyone owns a decent case to protect it from the knocks and bumps of everyday life. When my friend bought bought her new digital camera (a Canon Powershot A640) a case wasn't supplied, so we embarked on a mission to find a case which could keep her new bundle of joy safe. Although we found cheap cases in high street shops, none of them seemed to fit the camera as well as they should. Although we tried to find the correct case for the camera, we couldnt seem to find one anywhere. She then gave up. So, seeing as it was her birthday the following week, i decided to head home and look on the internet and get her one as an extra pressie. Within minutes of searching, i had bagged this little baby. Adbvertised at suitable for housing all cameras in the Powershot A Series (A710, A640, A...

Review of Canon DCC-80 Soft case Digital photo camera

The Olympus u[MJU:] 400 Digital Camera.

Advantages: Compact, Lightweight, Stylish and 4.0 megapixels means you can print up to A3, still with a high quality printout.
Disadvantages: No protective case included and the larger xD-Picture Cards are highly priced.

...of each camera was. After days of searching I went to a store where they only sold cameras. When I entered the store there was a lot of information for potential customers. For example, there was a list of megapixels, then next to it; it told you how large you could print up to with each amount of pixels, which would still be of a high quality. I had a good look at the list and decided that I may want to print my images up to A3. I therefore needed a 4.0 megapixel or higher Digital Camera. Off I went looking at each suitable manufacturer?s cameras. Then I spotted it, the Olympus u [MJU:] 400 Digital Camera. It was excellent. I liked the look of it as, it was compact and in a tough, hard looking metal case, which meant if I dropped it, it wouldn't break easily. When the staff handed it to me, I couldn't believe how stylish it looked in...

~~A post-halloween treat from Digital Photo!~~

Advantages: This is an effective hands-on guide with free CD for Photoshop users
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive for non-Photoshop software users

..., simplicity and holiness. It is the motif of the angels from heaven, the friendly ghosts (like Casper), the beautiful lady in the 'balete' tree, the bride-to-be waiting for the groom to take her hands in the altar, or even our hardworking doctors and nurses and the Wimbledon tennis players. These are some of the things that I could think why 'black and white' are influential in our lives. Being a photo hobbyist, B&W is something unique and it could graphically and effectively illustrate those different perceptions by using camera. I could also relate B&W to mono images which I am happy to share my thoughts on the various special editions of "Digital Photo" magazine published from 2006 to present, mainly focused on mono images or B&W format, including main sections of the publication. Briefly, the magazine is being published monthly at £4...

Olympus - the peak of cameras

Advantages: Superb Quality
Disadvantages: Expensive and big compared to the compacts

...shine through. You can get a flower in perfect focus, while the surrounding area is blurred and atmospheric. Digital SLRs have managed to combine all of what an ordinary SLR can do, with the technology and wizardry of the digital age. So you have no film to buy; you store on to a memory card; you can edit and delete photos in the camera; you can transfer them to a computer, and then you can use the photo programmes to further enhance your photo before printing - eg remove the red eyes. It has its own built in flash, and a shoe for using more complex flash arrangements. It has an LCD screen to view your image once it's taken, and the same screen, 2.5", also allows you to see all the different settings available. The Olympus e-400 shares all those general features with its rivals. 3 The Specials xxxxxxxxxxxx Olympus has...

Review of Olympus E-400

Olympus Camedia C-420L Digital Camera

Advantages: Quality brand
Disadvantages: none

...First things first, A name you can trust "OLYMPUS", they are used internationally by all the best photographers in both digital and standard film types. The C-420L is getting a little old now and has been superseded by many other models and brands, BUT, if you can find one either new or second hand you're in for some great snapping fun. They are very well built and really look the part unlike many of the more recent digicams, and believe it or not they are more than capable of 99% of modern featured cams. You get 20 High Quality shots or 80 normal shots per memory card, and memory cards are very easily available at any good computer or photographic shop. The high quality shots are just that with a resolution around 480 DPI, they are very clear and easy to work with and with the right printer and paper it's hard to tell the difference...

Review of Olympus 420L Digital Camera

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...
