Overview and Specs

This camera is feature rich with 9 mega pixels of resolution, 10x optical zoom and added image stabilization which compensates for your hand jerks and body movement while taking a picture. While the high resolution 9 mega pixel picture processing gives great clarity to a picture the 10x optical zoom ensures that you get a distant shot pretty conveniently without compromising on quality or light capture. The 3.0 inch LCD screen is most useful for navigating seamlessly through the various features of the camera and also allows to preview pictures just taken in proper brightness on the screen.

The DIGIC III image processing engine is most incredible resulting in the best enhancement of taken pictures through certain levels of processing. Face detection technology is another added feature which helps in calculating various factors like white balance involved in getting the correct shot of people and faces with correct skin tones and enhancing the resulting image to perfection. Red eye reduction along with face detection technology is a plus thanks to the DIGIC III image processing engine. Motion detection technology reduces the effects of motion blurring due to non matching shutter speeds and fast picture subjects.

The camera automatically adjusts picture arrangements and reduces motion blur. Wide angle and telephoto lenses are compatible with this device enabling a professional experience whether bird watching or taking pictures of elusive or distant subjects. Printing directly from the device is a convenient feature ensuring that you need not laboriously connect to a PC in order to get your pictures printed.

The Sony Cybershot DSCW120/B 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot is one of the best selling point and shoot cameras of 2008. One of the main reasons this camera has been so popular is because of it’s brilliant ability to capture smiles. Yep, that’s right, smiles. This is like an advanced version of “face detection” – it detects smiles. What a perfect function to have if you are bringing up children who are getting (or losing) their first teeth!

The other feature that is really important for a digital camera is the advanced double anti-blur. This does a fantastic job of preventing blurs, even very subtle ones.

As usual Sony has pushed the boundaries and given us new technology inside a small digital camera. Although Sony, Olympus, Pentax and Lumix fans might laugh – I think this is one of the highest quality digital cameras on the market today.

This lens is perfect for long distance low light shots. In fact, many people say this is the best Canon SLR lens for long distance low light shots.

The main features of this lens include:

• A focal length & maximum aperture of 55-250mm f/4-5.6
• Lens construction 12 elements in 10 groups more than most
• Diagonal angle of view 27° 50′- 6° 15′ with an included image sensor (very nice!)
• Focus adjustment – DC motor, gear-driven like all Canon SLR lenses

I have been told that many sports photographers are using this lens now for taking photos of sports action from a medium to long distance. I imagine it would capture some pretty amazing close ups with a real warmth to the inner details and outlines.

The Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) is the latest and greatest in Canon point and shoot technology. If you are going to buy a point and shoot digital camera this silly season then I would suggest this one.

The cameras features include:

• 10 megapixels with enough quality to blow up to poster size
• 4x optical zoom
• image stabilisation
• face detection software for over 10 people
• 3 inch LCD screen for image viewing and editing
• intelligent contrast correction

But the main feature of this camera, in my opinion, is the amazing wide lens that enables you to capture more scenery than most other point and shoots could dream about. It is truly the best digital camera on the market at the moment.

Christmas is fast approaching and I am looking around for my digital photography presents. But, this year is going to be a little bit slower than last year because, like everyone else, I don’t have a lot of money. A professional photographer would love this Canon 2400 SLR Gadget Bag for EOS SLR Cameras.

The most important thing to look for when buying a digital camera bag is that it is waterproof and padded. If you put your $4000 camera in a bag you want to make sure it is safe when you get caught in the rain and when you drop it on the way to a job. The Canon 2400 SLR Gadget Bag is perfect for that.

This bag has room for 5 lenses and a lot of other accessories. It is small but not too small and as such it will fare you well on all your digital photography jobs.

There is a wonderful tutorial over at the Digital Photography School Forum which shows you how to take some really amazing photos of some water drops with a patterned background. The photographer has done a really amazing job and described how he got the shot in great detail.

If you are a professional photographer you will know how useful a tripod can be. Nothing is more annoying then getting home and plugging in your camera to find that all the photos are slightly blurred because you could not hold the camera still for the longer shutter exposures.

A tripod can solve all that!

This Canon Deluxe 200 is 59 inches high and ideal for medium sized cameras. It also has a built in bubble to show you whether you are on even ground which is a great feature if you need to make sure your shots are level.

My favourite feature of this tripod, however, is the quick release button. You can snap your camera in and out of there in a second!

The Canon PowerShot SD770IS is currently the most popular point and shoot digital camera on the internet. It is selling more than any other point and shoot on Amazon.com and for good reason – it is a fantastic camera.

This camera is extremely cheap for its features. I was quite surprised when I found out you could purchase it for under $250. Its main features include:

• 10 megapixels which are enough to blow up to poster size photos
• 3X optical zoom with image stabilizer which is great for moving shots
• Face detection which automatically finds your friends faces
• Blur reduction
• Much more

I really like the 2.5 inch LCD screen on the back of this camera. I don’t know if I am crazy but Canon and Nikon always seem to have really clear, bright LCD screens on their digital cameras.

Things to consider

The perfect handbag camera needs to be:

• light
• small
• tough; and
• high quality

The best digital camera for a handbag or purse

Make sure you take a look at all of the options and see if they fit your needs and wants. Digital cameras have a lot of functions these days so it is important to make sure your new camera does what you want it to.

1. The Nikon Coolpix S550 10 Megapixels

The Nikon Coolpix is one of the most popular digital cameras at the moment. It is sleek, small and very easy to use. It has a massive 10 megapixels and a really crisp lens. All of the photos I have seen taken on a Coolpix are focused, clean and very tight. It is a perfect option for the handbag or purse.

2. The Canon Speedlite 420EX II

Next we move on to the Canon Speedlite 420EX II. This camera has a very cool outer shell and has 8 megapixels. Many people make the mistake of thinking that more megapixels means better photos. Not always. After about 7 or 8 megapixels there isn’t much of a difference and the quality depends on the quality of the lens and the photographic memory. And the Canon is the best. Perfect photos. This is a good option for the purse!

3. The Olympus Mju 1020

The Olympus Mju is currently the smallest digital camera on the market and thus it is a perfect choice for your handbag. This camera will allow you to carry it wherever you go without bulking up your bag or taking up too much room. It has 10.1 megapixels and 7x optical zoom. It is a great choice for photos of people and faces. Perfect for a night out!

Conclusion

Before buying a digital camera make a list of everything you want it to do and then match that list to a camera on the market. And remember, small doesn’t always mean quality. Sometimes buying something a little bit bigger is a better option.

The Canon Speedlite 420 EX II is the most popular flash for Canon SLR cameras. It has sold more units than any other flash on the internet this year. That is a powerful review!

The main advantage of this flash is that it has a 20% faster recycling time than other flashes meaning you will be able to use it more often and with less wait in between photos. It is also fully controllable in the SLR EOS camera menu allowing you to do some really neat tricks with your digital flash photography.
