Ranking Of The Best Digital Camera Models Currently Available For Sale

By Mike Morrisson


Looking to purchase an electronic digital cameras? Trying to find out which is the best digital camera to purchase? Well, in this posting, we'll discuss the very best digital cameras of 2010 and find out the pros and cons of every one.

There are a great deal of factors you have to consider when you're purchasing a digital camera. These include but are not restricted to the brand, the cost, the features, the build, the consumer reviews, etc. Herein, I'm compiling a list of the best digital cameras according to me. To make it in this list, a digital camera needs to be really good because I'm somebody who is pleased by simply almost every other technology wonder! It requires to be really, really special to get a mention.

So, here we go...

Nikon D7000 - Nikon is appropriate up there with Canon when it comes to making digital camera models, in my opinion. This one is a testament to their standards. A truly spectacular camera which has a wonderful viewfinder; the Nikon D70000 has been loved by one and all. It's slightly on the pricey side but again, the price is cent percent justified.

It's a 16.2 Megapixel camera and it also enables you to take spectacular videos in full HD (1080P). There are so many features that it'll complete more than a few webpages. If you're a professional photographer, this is for you. If you're not really a professional photographer, but someone who wants to take stunning pictures, this is for you.

You'll know what I'm talking about once you hold this camera in your hand. Its an absolute masterwork - the buttons, switches, controllers have all been positioned at the best locations which makes it simpler to use. The image quality is certainly not lower than amazing. What's better still is that this camera is among the few that you can take with you when traveling. It is one of the lighter ones. I looked up for this camera's online reviews and it appears like most people are in agreement with me. It gets an average of 4.5 stars.

Canon EOSD 5D - This camera comes a close second. Actually, I'd say there's a tie between the first and the second. This is an equally good camera and when you prefer the Canon brand, this is for you. It is a bit limited in the video capabilities though therefore if you're high on video, this isn't the camera for you. Other than that, the image quality is awesome and you'd love it, I'm sure. It's costlier than the Nikon's therefore if your budget is restricted, choose the Nikon.

This is 12.8 MP with a 2.5 inch LCD digital screen. One con for me was it didn't mount as a drive after i connected it to my Mac. I was able to move my work eventually however, I had to undergo an entirely different (and painstakingly difficult!) route.

For picture quality & overall features, I'd give this camera a 4 start. For those other things mentioned previously, such as the price, I give it a 3 star.

Nikon Coolpix S8100 - If you're purchasing on a critically limited budget, this is the camera for you. Though it's nowhere near the quality of the two I've mentioned previously, you get what you pay for. In this case, though, you get far more than you spend for. The price is extremely low and when you retain that in mind, the quality and all the other characteristics are incredibly great.

I'm not too keen on the body layout, though. The controls are put in awkward areas and also you end up doing stuff you didn't attempted to! All in all, this digital camera gets a 2.5 star based on the characteristics as well as the cost.

Common Ways To Design Your Cellular Phone

By Albert Higgins


Isn't it bothersome to see someone wearing the exact same outfit that you are? Don't you feel the same way when you see someone with the exact same cell phone that you have? Few, if any of us enjoy feeling unoriginal. Yet, what can be done about the thousands of cookie-cutter cell phones on the market?

The solution is simple: craft a mobile device of your own! Get the cell phone of your dreams in just a few easy-to-follow steps!

Many people spend hundreds of dollars on the latest phones, hoping that their shiny new device will be the only one on the block. While that may be true for a short while, no mobile producers make phones just for you, and soon everyone else will be using the same phone that you paid a fortune for. Therefore, purchasing new phones is, at best, a short-term solution.

The point is that you can make your phone stand out, even if it is an older model, with a little creativity and thought.

If you're looking for a quick, simple, and budget-friendly way to enhance your cell phone's appearance, a phone charm can be a great way to address the problem. Use your imagination and make your own charms-that way, you can be sure no one else will have a mobile device that looks exactly like yours!

Another popular way to customize one's phone is the addition of a clip or holster with a favorite color or design; the styles of straps available are quite varied and fit a wide range of lifestyles.

It's common for younger girls to fasten small ornaments or toys to their devices, while fashion-conscious women may opt for a demure, understated false crystal or two. Local phone shops and web-based businesses are sure to offer a wide selection of decorations and phone cases from which to choose. Be creative, and don't be afraid to try something new, because you want your phone to be completely different from the rest.

After reading through these ideas, getting a truly customized cell phone doesn't seem too hard, does it? In fact, you've learned that it's easy, and even fun. So head to your local arts and crafts mart or try an online search engine. The possibilities for your mobile phone are endless!

Travel photography: An introduction

By Bronson Schecter


Travel photography has seen a huge rise in popularity in the last ten years or so. This is because there has been a surge of affordable professional standard cameras, and so it is not just the professionals who can get amazing looking photographs of their travels. There are many reasons for taking photos of your journeys, maybe just to prove you've been there or to solidify a memory, but some have sought to do it as an art and a profession. To do this, a nice SLR will only take you part of the way, but this article will point you in the direction of the rest.

Most importantly you have to buy some decent equipment and get an understanding of how it works. If you want to take photography seriously, you will need a digital SLR, because the money you save on film will soon pay for the extra money forked out, and the ability to review photographs straight away is invaluable. A decent lens is also a necessity as many cameras come with a fixed focal length lens which can be very limiting.

Equipment is useless without knowing how to use it. You should spend some long hours poring over the manual and tweaking the camera settings to determine the effects of changing the aperture, shutter speed and ISO (film speed) paying attention to the effect they have on each other too.

Once you've got a feel for the equipment it's just about going out to some amazing places and taking a lot of photographs. The skills you pick up just doing the photographs are far more valuable than any you read about, but there are some things you can be told. For example, you should stick to mornings and late afternoons for shooting, because the long shadows will make any scene much more dramatic, and pictures at noon tend to look flat. Another thing to remember is to use your environment. Tree stumps or walls can be used as make shift tri pods, and no matter how silly you look you should try taking a photo from all angles.

Practice makes perfect with this, like with many things. The more you photograph in different conditions the faster you will learn and the better you will become at improvising. At some point along the line you will start seeing everything through a lens.

Before anything else it is vital that you come into possession of a decent camera and the knowledge of how to use it. Digital SLRs are the way to go for this because film can get very expensive in the long term, and the ability to look at your pictures straight away makes it easier to learn. Rather than sticking with the extremely specific fixed focal length lens your camera probably came with, you should also invest in a more versatile lens.

Understanding the equipment is as important as owning them. Take a long time reading the manual and taking photos with varying settings to get a feel for the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO (or film speed), taking note of the effect it has on the picture.

Once you've got a feel for the equipment it's just about going out to some amazing places and taking a lot of photographs. The skills you pick up just doing the photographs are far more valuable than any you read about, but there are some things you can be told.

Photo Restoration Services - Things You Need to Know

By Jennifer Hoskins


All those old photos carrying your family and extended family's memories are now staring at you, begging for help. You want those old and precious, but damaged photos to be back to how they were in their heydays, or even better. You are right, photo restoration services are your best bet to making those old mugged pictured livelier than they ever were, by editing them using special programs.

Photo restoration has become so popular that is has become an industry in itself. Virtually every corner has a photo restoring service center. Many of these services are so unbelievably cheap that you feel like restoring even those photos that are new and perfectly clean. But wait! You have heard that the cheapest doesn't equate to the best deal, haven't you? Well, that's true in this case too.

There are a few things that you should be careful about before giving your precious photos to the restoration service. The most blatant form of ripping money off you that these services engage in is those extra features. They throw such jargon at you such as tonal correction, red eye correction and make it seem like a huge deal.

Here is a piece of information for you. Most of these "premium features" should be nothing more than free. In fact, these should be part of the photo restoration services that these people offer. The reason I say this is because things such as correcting the tone can be done with a single mouse click using Photoshop or really any image editing software that they may be using.

If they genuinely offer such premium features, they should be done by professional who are experts at editing software. Your cheap local photo restoration service might just train a person or two to use Photoshop or any other photo editing software and charge you money unfairly. If you want the best photo correction services, make sure that the people doing it are experienced in their job even if they cost more.

A particular photo restoration service may seem to offer to save you the job of scanning your photo by doing it themselves for free. There is really no benefit for you in that. You can do the job with your own scanner at home and it will still come out the same way. Why do you need to shed extra dollars for a job you can do yourself. You can scan them and mail it to them to do the restoration job.

In order to earn some extra money, many photo restoration services may offer a print out of the restored photos for free. The question to ask is why you need a print out of those photos if you are going to share it online. This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick to attract you to their photo services.

Besides, the service may not use the best quality photo paper to print out the photo. If you are aware of these small things, you will get a much better deal from your photo restoration vendor. Before choosing a particular service, it is better to research about photo restoration companies online.

Advantages of Modern Slide Scanning Services

By Jennifer Hoskins


Preserving 35mm slides or really any traditional slides which were produced years ago is one of the most difficult jobs. In order that they don't get exposed and damaged, you probably have stacked them all in a store room. However, this is really unnecessary today what with modern slide scanning services using advanced techniques to scan them into digital formats which are of high quality.

When you hand your slides over to a scanning service, it is scanned and stored in one of the digital formats. Once this is done, they can be stored anywhere digitally. That can be on your PC or Mac or even thumb drives, where they will be safe and never deteriorate. Scanning technology has come a long way over the past few years and especially over the past 10 years.

When slide scanning services scan your slides, they usually convert them into image file formats. These can be JPEG, PNG, BMP or anything which is suitable. There are small differences between these formats. For instance, images, stored in the JPEG format are small in size and you can easily fit thousands of them in a small SD card, albeit with somewhat lower quality.

The PNG is an uncompressed image file format which preserves the quality of your slide and reproduces exactly the same image. If you want to archive photos on to a large hard disk, this is the better choice. That is because the PNG files occupy a large amount of space as compared to the other formats. This shouldn't be a problem since Terabyte storage disks are much cheaper these days.

If you have decided to finally scan those slides of yours, you just need to do some preparation. The first job would be to group the slides into neat categories so that they are easy to scan and store in their own folders. Secondly, make sure that the slides are as clean as possible. Old slides that have been stored away for years may have gathered a lot of dust and may have attracted some stains.

If you find that some slides cannot be cleaned completely, don't worry just yet. Today, there is a wide variety of photo editing software available on the internet. Using these, you can manipulate photos as to hide the dirty specs and make your photos look clean. Some of the more popular image editing programs includes Adobe's Photoshop and Corel's Paint Shop Pro. You can also try the free GIMP.

One of the thoughts that might cross your mind is why not scan all those slides at home rather than spending on professional slide scanning services? If you only have a few photos and just want to carry them on your smart phone and don't need high quality, using your home scanner is a very practical choice.

If you want to be sure that your slides are scanned into the best possible photos, handing the job over to a professional scanning service is better. Firstly, they are more likely to have high end professional equipment which is much better than the average scanner. Secondly, it will turn out to be much cheaper to have them scan for you.

Beginners Travel Photography: Preparation Tips

By Max Brown


Traveling to different places offers wonderful photographic opportunities, as you are exposed to new landscapes, cultures and people. You may also want to capture the memories of your travels to show loved ones at home. There are a few things to bear in mind when it comes to traveling with camera gear that will make your journey more pleasurable, and your travel photography easier. The following beginners travel photography tips should make taking photos of your travels that much easier.

Most importantly, you should try and travel light. Don't take any more equipment than you need to. If you are using a SLR camera, stick with one or two zoom lenses that cover a range of focal lengths rather than carrying an arsenal of lenses. A useful addition is a digital point-and-shoot camera to use on the occasions when it is not appropriate to cart a camera bag full of photographic gear along with you. One area where you shouldn't compromise, however, is memory. Carry plenty of memory cards with you so that you don't miss any photographic opportunities.

There may be situations that require using a tripod, especially when shooting in low light. It is recommended that you carry a mini-tripod for these occasions, as it will not add as much weight to your camera bag as a full tripod. A mini-tripod is much lighter and less bulky than a full-size tripod, remember you are wanting to keep your weight to a minimum.

A durable weatherproof camera bag is essential to keep you gear protected from dirt, moisture, and extreme temperatures. It also enables you to keep all your equipment together, and to carry it around easily. Make sure that the camera bag that you choose is spacious enough for your chosen equipment, and that it will not be uncomfortable to carry around for any length of time. You camera and accessories should also be easily accessible, so don't opt for anything too complicated.

When you finally get to a scene you want to photograph, take time to compose the shot. Composition is an important aspect of photography, and no less in travel photography. Good composition will result in a great photo rather than a mediocre travel pic.

And finally, take notes about the places, people and cultures you are shooting. This will help you with sorting, cataloguing, and key-wording your images when you get back home. If you don't, you may struggle to remember interesting facts, or even where the photo was taken, as your memory of the places you visited may get a little bit hazy once you have returned home.

Some very inexpensive models can serve their purpose perfectly, while more ornate or multi-functional ones, while more expensive, remain a very cost-effective solution to any number of needs.

The type of easel stand you typically find in classrooms everywhere is an example of a purely utilitarian stand. These serve one purpose only: to carry a whiteboard at a convenient height for both the user and the viewers. It has been a standard visual aid in classrooms for generations and is yet to be surpassed as a vehicle for enhancing any form of lesson or presentation.

A more elaborate floor easel may be flippable vertically or rotatable horizontally. This kind of easel stand is ideal when a presentation requires one to refer back to previous information or to use one side of the board to display a promotional poster and the other to aid him in his presentation.

While in some situations, such as in school classrooms, a semi-permanent easel stand on wheels will suffice. It can simply been rolled out or the way when it isn't needed. At other times, a more portable stand is a more appropriate choice. Salesmen on the go, for instance, need a more easily transportable display stand. There are dozens of designs that can fulfill their requirements perfectly, whatever they may be.

The salesperson who must always be doing his presentations in different locations needs something that can be neatly folded away and transported. For his needs, a tripod easel or a bi-fold easel is perfect. Many of these can simply be collapsed. Their legs may be telescopic, like a camera tripod, or folding. Made from lightweight materials such as aluminum, they are smart looking, inexpensive and very useful.

Variety and functionality are not limited to floor easels, either. There are any number of tabletop designs to choose from that are equally useful. Many of these, such as the lectern stand, are designed for specific purposes. Others are general purpose stands. They might be used to hold a whiteboard or a flow chart diagram for a business presentation. These slip easily into a briefcase, so can be available for use anywhere on a moment's notice.

Not to be overlooked are the hundreds of decorative uses easel stands can be put to. Works of art, rare or favorite books, family photographs, collectible plates and even fine wines are just a few of the many uses decorative easels can be put to.

With so many styles to choose from, there is an easel stand for every conceivable purpose. Inexpensive, functional and versatile, it's hard to imagine what we would do without them.

A lectern stand is perfect for securely holding lecture materials, while a small whiteboard can be used for desktop presentations.

Photo Restoration Services - Things You Need to Know

By Jennifer Hoskins


All those old photos carrying your family and extended family's memories are now staring at you, begging for help. You want those old and precious, but damaged photos to be back to how they were in their heydays, or even better. You are right, photo restoration services are your best bet to making those old mugged pictured livelier than they ever were, by editing them using special programs.

Photo restoration is such a common way to make your old photos look better today, that it is a mini industry today. You will find such a service at nearly every corner possible. Some of these services are very cheap. You would even be tempted to restore those photos which are perfectly fine. Wait! You know cheap doesn't mean best, right? You might have heard that before, but it still true, as most clich's are.

Your photos are very, very important to you, so it is better to take note of a few things before handing them over to a photo restoration service. One of the most common schemes employed by these services to squeeze some extra money out of you is to offer extra features, by using those jargon words such as red eye correction or tonal correction and make it seem a sophisticated job.

Here is a piece of information for you. Most of these "premium features" should be nothing more than free. In fact, these should be part of the photo restoration services that these people offer. The reason I say this is because things such as correcting the tone can be done with a single mouse click using Photoshop or really any image editing software that they may be using.

These things should actually be done manual to achieve the best results. However, many cheap restoration services don't employ experts to do the job. They just train a few people to use Photoshop or similar software and get the job done very cheaply, while charging you blatantly. Before you give your photos for correction, ensure that they have professional photo editors doing the job.

You might find a photo restoration service that offers to scan your old photos for you and then edit them. for all you know, those guys use the same scanner that you use at home and then charge you extra for it. It is always better to scan the photos yourself and then mail it to them and save some money that you don't need to part with anyways.

In order to earn some extra money, many photo restoration services may offer a print out of the restored photos for free. The question to ask is why you need a print out of those photos if you are going to share it online. This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick to attract you to their photo services.

Even if you do need a print out a photo, you better do it using a high quality photo paper, unlike the cheap paper used by your vendor. These are some of the things that you should be aware of, to get the best deal from your vendor. Before zeroing on a particular service, research good photo restoration companies online to get a good idea of the standard rates and features.

Green Screen: Best for Historic to Futuristic themes

By Errol Merv


Movies give great entertainment. To some it is a way of escaping from everyday stress that life brings. Movies take you to places you've never been, let's you meet people you only see in your imagination and brings you back to historical events you never thought you'd witness. Movie is an art, an art of capturing human emotions and life's priceless moments leaving lessons, questions and wisdom. But how are movies made? We are sometimes engulfed with our curiosity as to how our favorite heroes fly and how the characters we only see in drawings comes to life inside the big screen.

What we know when we watch a movie is the story and the characters in them, but what is interesting is the process of how it was made, how they were all put together to make this one fantastic film. Movie makers have undergone many changes on the equipments used to give special effects on a certain scene. With the technology we have today, there is just no limit on making something as unbelievable as a planet vanishing into thin air happen. A technique called Chroma key compositing is today's most popular strategy, it makes use of two images, one on the front and another on the back, they try to adjust each screen as which part is to be visible and with should be hidden to make something appear as something else, for example add big wings to a man to make him look like an angel. A more popular name to this style is called the green screen. This technique is also widely used in weather forecasting where you see the reporter and information about the coming weather behind her, but when you go to their studio what you are really going to see is just her standing in front of a green screen.

Photographers also use green screens. There are many software that will allow you to do the same as a green screen do but they sometimes have glitches which will result in an undesirable output, you'd have to redo everything; unlike the green screen where it has been proven to work each and every time. Green screens are made of fabric material, they are made to be not very reflective so that it won't produce mismatch on the colors you want to appear.

We are calling all movie makers and photographers to shop here on our online store. We have excellent quality green screens perfect for your professions. You can choose from different sizes or a package complete with lighting kit and other materials. For starters, we also have a book to guide you on how to use our green screens effectively.

In today's digital age, the green screen is actually preferred because it can maintain more details on the green channel and less light is needed. Green screens are also more appreciated when doing a film outdoors because the blue sky might mess up the image of you have a blue screen. See all our great screen products now.

The History of Photography

By Sarah Gould


These days, photography is something that can be done by almost everyone, because cameras are pretty much everywhere. This is why people, both amateurs and professionals, can do everything from simple point and shoot photography, all the way to specialty skills like product, architectural, and commercial photography. But before this was possible, photography had to undergo over 200 years of development, using the ideas and experiments done by the ancient minds from over thousands of years ago.

Long before the dawn of chemical photography, our ancient ancestors have already begun experimenting on the fundamentals and concepts that will make photography possible. Ancient philosopher Mo Ti, and almost at the same time, Greek mathematicians Euclid and Aristotle, have toyed with what is called a pinhole camera, from as far back as the 5th and 4th centuries BC. But it wasn't just the ancient Greeks and Chinese that experimented, because during this time, Byzantine mathematicians have also been using their form of a camera obscura for multiple experiments.

Those examples, however, only played around with the principles behind the craft, but true photography wouldn't really exist until 1826, when the very first actual and permanent photograph was made. The first photo was made by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, when he used a polished pewter plate, and bitumen of Judea, a material that hardens when exposed to light. When the bitumen hardened on the plate, the negative image left behind could then be coated with ink, and pressed on paper to produce a print.

From that point onward, very similar processes would be developed, each one taking one step further. The next big step would be made by Fox Talbot in 1840, when he invented the calotype process, which used paper sheets coated with silver chloride to create an intermediate negative image that can then be used to reproduce positive prints. This silver chloride covered paper was a precursor of the modern chemical film.

During this time however, film and camera technologies weren't the only things being developed. Styles and techniques in taking photos were advancing as well, like in 1849 when Count Sergei Lvovich Levitsky, first suggested, and used, proper artificial lighting, and a dedicated studio, to take photos of subjects. It was a big step forward from the previous manner of taking photos, which just relied on natural or simple artificial lights.

These major milestones of the past, paved the way for more modern cameras, lenses, and films, to be made. With the arrival of digital photography, however, along with massive advancements in technology, photography is poised to take even greater strides in the near future. These advancements would make photography even more accessible, and more enjoyable by the average person.

New photographers should research and read articles and product reviews before purchasing lenses and cameras. They should also try to determine exactly what type of wedding photography is their interest before making purchases. Investing this time and making these efforts will pay off in the long run. After purchasing the photography equipment, it is valuable to spend a lot of time practicing with the camera and fully discovering the capabilities and limitations of the pieces. Photographers need to be able to adjust their equipment to be effective as conditions change, such as lighting or weather for outdoor photography.

Wedding photographers need to build solid foundation of not only portfolios, but knowledge. This can be done through careful research and planning. Young students can often have access to high school courses on photography. While they might not specifically study wedding photography, the general knowledge obtained is just as valuable. Photography workshops, classes and courses, and opportunities to speak with and learn from local photographers can be found through many community education offerings. Some towns and cities will host amateur photography exhibits where average hobbyists can be connected with professionals in their areas and gain mentors. Libraries and book stores are other great sources of information pertinent to learning more about becoming a wedding photographer. Exposure, composition, lighting effects, and camera settings can be studied via books before even purchasing or using a camera. Beginning photographers should also not rely on computer software to produce quality pictures, but should instead learn how to take pictures that of high standards and simply highlighted through the use of technology.

After researching and purchasing equipment and studying the craft, beginning photographers should seek ways to gain experience and in the photography field. Students can volunteer to be school or club photographers and have access to school equipment. Others might be able to find opportunities to do free-lance photography work for local newspapers or non-profit groups. These will usually not be paying jobs, but the experience and exposure is a commodity that will make a photographer more successful. Sometimes established wedding photographers are willing to mentor beginners and trade the duties of an assistant for providing tips and techniques to the new photographer.

As the new wedding photographer works through this process of building a solid foundation, it is important to be able to learn from mistakes and find ways to improve future pictures. Discovering what type of wedding photographer he or she would like to be for an amateur photographer, perhaps either classic or contemporary, as well as developing a personal and signature style. Professional wedding photographers need to have built solid foundations on which their passion for the work can flourish and grow.
