Cameras

The quality of a digital camera is not the mega pixels it can produce although they obviously help, it is done to the quality of the lens (CCD) and the compression methods used.

Not a name you instantly think of when talking about quality digital cameras. Obviously when thinking of film cameras Kodak is a big name, although they have made digitals for years, here at last they make a giant leap forward.

3megapixel not enough, 5megapixel not enough, then how about 7.1megapixel? The latest PowerShot S70 has exactly that as well as other great features in a compact housing.

3megapixel, 3x optical zoom, 32MB SD card, if that does not get you interested then perhaps the sub £100 price point may, if not then you are probably not looking for a digital camera.

Small and neat, stylish chrome facia, powerful 5megapixel camera, all of these and more are true of the HP R707 could this be the digital camera we are all looking for?

3 or 4 megapixel not enough? Then this offering from Goodmans may well be what you are looking for, a compact 5 megapixel digital camera with a basic 32MB of storage.

It’s small – it will easily fit in a pocket or purse. It’s stylish, at least as far as I’m concerned. It’s easy to use and it’s still a powerful digital camera that takes great images.

All optical zoom lenses I know of protrude from the front of the unit, not so with the Sony Cybershot DSC-T1, the zoom takes place within the unit actioning vertically.

A four megapixel digital camera for a little over £100, complete with a 32MB Compact Flash card, even with today’s fast moving price reduction hysteria this is something well worth investigating.

We have just launched the WAP and WEBsite www.10secfilmfest.com a free festival for all who have an urge to be creative and have a passion for gadgets that can take video, the site has been established to recognise all the new talent that is springing up and give people somewhere to go apart from vodafone live, or Mymotomovies,etc, etc. Very keen on anyone's thoughts, opinions etc as you are a big part of our audience so you are the best people to ask!

Two different companies, two different cameras, both producing excellent images, about the only thing they have in common is that they both use the XD card format. The knowledgeable reader will now know which two companies.

I see a lot of digital cameras, I see a lot of web cams, but for some reason not a lot of camcorders. When I started testing the MV650i I had a very big shock, the provided recording mechanism was not tape.

A web cam is a web cam right? Well perhaps not always, in fact several have the ability to store images inside their own memory away from the PC, some can even store sound and by that you know they can also record video.

Just over a week ago I finished my review of a 5mega pixel camera, here I looking at a 640x480 unit, however for what it is it takes rather good images.

What is small, silver in colour and has a 3D feature? This is not a trick question and I’ll even answer my own question. It is the Optio S4 camera from Pentax.

5.3 Mega Pixel, 8x optical zoom, these two items alone should be enough to encourage any keen camera user to read on.

What can Santa bring the keen photographer who seems to have everything? This device stores images when away from your PC. So no more taking umpteen media cards, now you can take as many images as you like.

Like memories, photographs tend to fade with age. Fortunately a solution is readily available. Captured digital images can be stored and retrieved from your hard disk for printing. The results should be as vibrant and fresh as the day they were captured. You just need to match your photographic needs and financial considerations with an appropriate digital camera.

It is said that the camera never lies but digital technology can certainly help deceive when it comes to improving photographic skills. Let me tell you about a new camera I have looked at recently.

A great Digital Ixus Product although installing the software onto Windows 98 was a bit tricky...

Super new product from Nokia, which has a multitude of uses! The compact and portable Nokia Observation Camera combines a digital VGA camera, GSM transceiver and MMS technology in the same unit.

Nikon film scanner with lots of good useful features which delivers accurate scans every time.
