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

Sony a200 - one of the best budget dslr cameras available.

Advantages: Great battery life, comfortable in the hands, picture quality.
Disadvantages: Flimsy memory card and remote release slot.

...I was looking for a new camera and had a budget of around £300. Compact cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix TZ and the Nikon Coolpix P80 kept coming up, as did the Nikon D40 and the Sony a200. I decided to go for the Sony in the end as it was a name I trusted and I had used a compact Sony in the past. The quality difference between my old compact camera and this camera was incredible. Shots always seem to come out crisp and clear, whatever lighting conditions the picture was taken in. Battery life is great and the percentage meter of battery power remaining is invaluable. The camera fits well in large hands, and all of the buttons and dials on the camera are comfortably positioned. Having only used a compact camera in the past, the sheer number of options took a while to get used to, but once I was familiar with the camera everything...

Great Case For Sony Cyber-Shot Camera

Advantages: Wrist wrap, Leather case and good protection
Disadvantages: None

...The Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA is a case for the Sony Cyber Shot digital camera. I bought this to basically protect my digital camera is it's small and delicate. The other reason I got this case was that the camera is small and I just wanted it in a casing so it would be easier to handle and it wouldn't just slip out of my pocket easily. The case itself is black in colour, compact and light in design just like the camera and snugly holds the camera. The case is made from genuine leather and comes with a wrist strap for easy carrying and accessibility when you're out and about. The Cyber Shot logo is also embedded on the outside flap of the case which itself is Velcro for easy access. Main information: - Wrist strap - Black colour - Leather - Dimensions (WxDxH) 10.8 cm x 3.8 cm x 7.6 cm Overall the Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA case is...

Sonys great cybershot camera

Advantages: Easy to use, Good amount of mega pixels for personal use, Diverse features
Disadvantages: Low end sony cybershot camera, Built in memory is very poor, Battery life does not last very long

...I needed to get a new camera after my older nikon coolpix camera broke and then I lost it. I wanted a new camera however I was on a budget so I started to look for a new camera. The sony range of camera caught my attention since they are a well known and the people who own sony cybershot cameras rate them highly. I paid £70 including postage for my the sony cybershot camera which I think is very good value for what you get. The first thing you notice with the camera is how good it looks, it's all silver and shiny, the Lcd monitor is 2.5 which is a very good size and it is very clear. The build of the camera is very sturdy, it feels well built and you can defiantly tell that they have used good materials, not just got some cheap plastic together. It feels very light and the only weight that you can feel comes from the battery...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W110

Trendy Little Camera from Sony

Advantages: All
Disadvantages: none

...Not Just Another Sony Cybershot Analysis Giving with the idea of using a lot of buttons for operating a camera, Sony came up with this model T300 with mainly all the menus operated with the wide screen 3.5" clear LCD touch screen. The 10.1 MP resolution is high enough for any professional photographer as well. The 5X optical Zoom is Higher than any peer available in the compact Digital Camera Category. * The camera supports the great range of light sensitivity ISO. Which allowed me to take photographs with not caring mush about the light position. * The Camera supports the wide range of scene modes ranging from Night Mode, Landscape, hi-speed shutter, twilight portrait, fireworks, soft snap, Underwater, twilight mode, beach, snow, high sensitivity, smile shutter. The Smile shutter is absolutely great as the camera...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300

A brilliant camera from the Sony Cybershot range

Advantages: Great pics, good value for money, loads of features, touch screen
Disadvantages: Hard to think of any

...There are very few brands out there that I would confess to having any sort of "loyalty" to. However, when it comes to digital cameras, ever since owning the DSC-U30 I have always bought Sony, in particular the Cybershot range because of the design and great lenses. I decided to splash out the £170 (very reasonable price for this bit of kit) for a DSC-T70 recently. This camera comes in four colour options, Pink, Black, Silver or White. I opted for the black one as I feel it is sleeker looking and everyone seems to own a silver camera! This model is the successor to the excellent T20 model which would also have been an excellent choice but with slightly less performance. I'll start with why I bought it. Firstly, as I said above it is a Sony and I've found you cannot really go wrong with this brand. They have developed a real...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera

Advantages: Anti shake feature
Disadvantages: None

...Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera My review is about the digital camera model Sony - DSC S730, I personally own one of these cameras and have so for around four months, I purchased mine after my previous Sony camera got broken, I am definitely a loyal Sony customer so purposely went looking for another Sony digital camera of maybe a bit more advanced quality and settings than my old one. I looked in various places and eventually looked at Tesco Extra's electrical section it was just the right price I was looking to pay, I compared it in my mind to the other Sony cameras on offer at the same shop and also some of other brands and chose this as the one I was going to buy. I paid £90 for this model of camera all though I have been to the same shop since and it has gone down in price, isn't it always the way. You can buy this digital camera...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S730

  Another 5 star Sony!

Advantages: Great functions, east to use, looks and feels good and produces great images.
Disadvantages: The kit lens isnt the best and no live view may bother some.

...For a while now I have been receiving private mails on both Dooyoo and on Ciao asking me to review the Sony A200 DSLR camera, this is because I have made mention of it in a few of my camera reviews lately but never actually got down to doing a full write up on it. I haven't reviewed it previously for a couple of reasons mainly though that I had up until now only had a few hours experience of the unit. Now with a whole weeks shooting with it under my belt and over 1000 pictures taken with it I feel much more capable of writing a thorough review on it. For anyone who has not read any of my previous camera reviews, I am a professional photographer and test many of the cameras I review rather than owning them. So onto the Sony A200 then, well Sony are very new to the DSLR market even though they have been making point and shoot...
