A Diamond (Camera) is Forever

In honor of the U.S. Open starting today, I will bring some tennis to pocketchange, well how bout just a tennis celebrity. Although Maria Sharapova will not be appearing in the US open this year due to injury, she has been actively playing her other role, a celebrity and sport icon. The 21 yr old Russian beauty queen was out last week promoting Canon cameras. This was not a typical promotion. How does a 12,000 dollar camera sound? 5 lucky winners can win one of the five 88 diamond encrusted Canon Powershots. They are not available for sale, only through this limited sweepstake. You can sign up for this diamond-studded sweepstake now. Winners will be announced in October. It would be pretty sweet to get your hands on this little gem. However, I don't really understand the purpose around this. Yes you get the brand out, and Maria looks good taking pictures with a 88 diamond lens camera. To the average person, I guess it would just be some great eye candy. I can see the winners ...

SLR Digital Cameras

Single-Lens Reflex Digital Cameras are digital cameras with a system of mirrors that allow you to see through the same lens that the actual picture will be taken from, rather than a separate viewing lens positioned above the picture lens. This allows still photographers to get a very accurate idea of the image right before the picture is taken. A popular current example is the Canon EOS rebel SLR digital camera. Canon EOS Rebel XS Digital SLR Camera Canon cameras such as this one and the EOS 50D Black SLR Digital Camera have at least ten megapixels, so your cameras will take very detailed pictures of exactly what you're aiming for!

Canon Powershot vs. Panasonic Lumix

It's been a while now that I have been using my old but trusty Canon Powershot SD500, so the other day I decided to buy I new one! I always like to have my camera with me, to be able to take spontaneous pictures whenever I am wandering around the city or whenever I might be having a night out partying with friends, so it has to be a compact size that I can carry everywhere. With all the choices out there, I certainly did my homework and I can tell you that Canon and Panasonic are the best on the market for compact camera sizes coupled with high quality picture capability. The PowerShot SX200 has a compact body, a powerful 12x zoom lens, beginning at a wide 28mm, tackles landscape shots or distant subjects with equal effectiveness and 12.1 megapixel resolution. Canon's, 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer technology, combats the blur caused by camera shake - even at the telephoto end of the zoom range and in low-light situations. I also tried the Panasonic Lumix ...

However, recording a video full of special moments it's better than having those moments captured in a solid picture. With a video later in life you can show these videos to your children, family or friends and you will enjoy reviving those moments again.So ...

Camera Phone Not Cutting it

As much as I d hate to admit it, (because I enjoy having only to carry one gadget) the cameras that cell phones are equip with just don't make the cut. Sure, they work great for taking mug shots of all your friends for your address book, granted it is taken in a well-lit area within reasonable distance; but with the lack of optical zoom, the camera is deemed insufficient for documenting vacations, birthdays, weddings or any other significant event in life. That being said, if you are in need of a point-and-shoot digital camera that won t break your bank account, you may want to consider the Nikon Coolpix S-550. It s sleek black design makes it especially appealing compared to the mundane silver cameras which everyone else has. The Nikon Coolpix S-550 has 10.1 megapixel and 5x optical zoom and costs just a little over $100. Check it out: 10-Megapixels 5x Optical Zoom 2.5 in LCD Monitor Vibration Reduction Stabilization ISO 2000 Capability ...

Pocket Camera: The Canon Powershot SD500

The Canon PowerShot series of cameras are the most popular point-and-shoot digital cameras out there, with their small size, ease of use, and great picture quality (I wrote about the Canon PowerShot SD790 earlier). If you're looking for a truly tiny camera that you can easily fit in your pocket without looking bulky, then you may want to take a look at the Canon PowerShot SD500. The SD500 is from Canon's ELPH (Elf Photography) line of cameras, and is one of the smallest cameras in their lineup, with a body of just 3.52 x 2.24 x 1.04 inches. Don't be fooled by its diminutive size, though-- this camera also packs quite a photographic punch. Featuring a 4x-zoom lens (w/ 3x optical zoom), 7.4 megapixel resolution, and an ample LCD screen, this camera may not be full-sized, but it is definitely full-featured. The PowerShot SD500 also comes with all the features you've come to expect from a modern digital camera, such as auto-focus, auto-ISO color balance, and a video ...

Go on Vacation with the Canon SX110 IS 9.0-Megapixel Digital Camera

My friend just returned home from a trip to Hawaii and has spent the last week making a scrapbook of her photos. While sharing some of her favorite shots, I couldn t help but comment on the quality and clarity of the pictures. She proudly showed me the new camera she purchased before her vacation, which was the Canon SX110 IS 9.0-Megapixel Digital Camera from the popular PowerShot line. She isn t much of a professional photographer, but she assured me it was the easiest camera to use, and her pictures look amazing, so she instantly had me interested. I normally love Canon digital cameras for their usability and quality, and the SX110 is no exception. It has a 10x optical zoom lens that still creates a clear picture from afar, which helped my friend get some great shots of the views from her hotel room. It has the usual Canon technologies such as Advanced Face Detection which automatically identifies and optimizes for faces, and the Optical Image Stabilizer which senses and ...
