Kodak Digital Camera Review

all of the photos I downloaded last week from a trip, taken by the same camera and using the same XD card are perfectly fine and open up like normal. Its the same with the other XD card that I had issues with before, 5 days of a 6 day trip downloaded and opened up just fine. Just the last day’s photos wouldn’t/won’t open though the Kodak kiosk at CVS was able to print hard copies no problem

If you just need a good all-around camera, I’d recommend the Olympus FE series. They’re slim, take decent pictures, and are relatively cheap (about $100). Get one that still uses regular AA batteries because the power cell batteries are a pain in the ass. Absolutely stay away from Kodak cameras. Those things work for the first couple of times and then die. If you want something more capable, has the feel of a traditional 35mm, and has a viewfinder (LCD screens suck in sunlight) then the Fujifilm FinePix S series is great. They’re a bit pricier (around $300), but well worth the money.

I recently found a working model at a flea market, but the problem is finding the 8mm black and white film needed to use the camera. Wikipedia states that Kodak ceased production of 8mm film in early 1990′s, but I found a shop in NYC that sells it for a decent price. I’m going to be in NYC for business on Monday, so I figured I’d pick some up. Does anyone know a reliable source online, or in the Central Pennsylvania area that sells 8mm black and white film? The other issue is converting film to viewable media. I could buy a really old 8mm projector, but I was wondering is there is something more cost effective. I know Ritz Camera does conversion from 8mm to disk, but it’s expensive. Thanks.

small electronics and are nothing but pure profit for a store (i used to sell them) I’ve had four digital cameras and i’ve never even had to use the regular manufacturer warranty on any of them. my kodak i got for my birthday 5 years ago is still taking great pictures (for a 2.0 megapix). not a darn thing wrong with it. save your money…put a little aside and when/if the time comes you have to “replace” your camera, you’ll already have the money available. prices of cameras are always dropping…

Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera Review

Panosonic Lumix Digital Camera Reivew

Hi, I’m looking into buying a camera. I was going to get the Canon SD1000, then someone told me about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7S, and its gotten great reviews and has the image stabilizer and 6x image stabilized zoom. It has 2x AA Oxyride batterys. What are these??…are they rechargeable. The canon has 1 xLi-ion rechargeable battery. What is the difference with the batteries??

my panasonic camera comes with software to download pics onto my computer. can’t remember the name of the software, but i was downloading and didn’t want to re-save duplicate pics, so I deleted them off the computer screen and copied the new pics only. I turned my camera on later and there were 4 black pics that wouldn’t delete. it says in the camera manual that they won’t delete if they aren’t a compatible file type or something.

What’s better…Canon PowerShot 850IS or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K? I’ve never owned a digital camera so I’m not sure which one is better. The pros to Panasonic is the 10X zoom. Will take some outdoor photos and portraits. Overall, which one has the better quality pictures? thanks for any input.

I bought this camera yesterday along with the separate memory card. The manual says to format the camera and then the card by using the Play Menu. Fine, except I can’t find the Play Menu. All I can pull up is the Settings Menu. I can’t find anywhere in the manual that tells me how to go from one menu to another. It’s a Panasonic Lumix Digital.

my film slr died and i don’t have enough cash to get a DSLR and the proper lenses. I do nightclub photography, so noise is a huge issue for me. I’ve been looking at prosumer Point & Shoots and have narrowed it down to these Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30K 8mp 12x IS Sony DSCH1 5.1mp 12x IS Konica-Minolta Dimage Z5 5mp 12x IS Nikon Coolpix 8700 8mp 8x Konica-Minolta Dimage A200 8mp 7x IS Kodak Easyshare P850 5mp 12x IS Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 5mp 12x IS Sony DSC-F828 8mp 7x Fuji Finepix S5200 5.1mp 10x Konica-Minolta Dimage Z6 12x IS Canon Powershot S2 5mp 12x IS Does anyone have firsthand expirence with any of these in low light? The amazon reviews are crap.

Canon Powershot Reviews

Canon Powershot
Recent Buyers Review for Canon Powershot

I’ve had a couple different Canon digital cameras and they have all been great. The PowerShot series are really nice if you are in the point-and-shoot market. Nice screen on the back, there isn’t a lag between shots like some other cameras I’ve used, the quality of the pictures is great, and it’s fairly rugged (it’s been dropped off the coffee table and fallen out of pockets and handbags a few times and still works great).

I have a Canon Powershot that keeps powering itself off when I try to take a picture. I thought it might have been bad batteries but a changed them a few times and still get the same results. Sometimes the camera will stay on long enough for me to take one picture, but for the most part, as soon as I try to zoom in, it powers off. Any suggestions??

I’ve been given a service award at work and among the options for my gift are 3 different digital cameras. Of these three, does anyone have any opinions on which is best? Or if you could direct me to a website where I can read reviews, that would be great, too. 1) Pentax Optio Ultra-compact Digital Camera. Features 8 MP, 5x optical zoom, 2.5″ LCD, 51 MB internal memory, SD Memory slot (card not included), digital shake reduction, multiple shooting modes, and built-in flash. Evolved Face Recognition includes Smile Capture mode to automatically capture smiling faces. Includes case, rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. 2) Sony Cyber-shot Digital Camera. Features 8.1 MP, Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom, 2.7″ color LCD, multiple shooting modes, Face Detection, in-camera retouching, MPEG movie mode, and 15MB internal Flash memory. Memory Stick compatible (not included). Includes batteries and charger. 3) Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera. Features 7.1 MP, 4x optical zoom, 2″ LCD monitor, 30-fps movie mode, 20 shooting modes, DIGIC II image processor, and 16 MB starter memory card. PictBridge compatible.

I live in the SF Bay area and I need to talk to someone who owns a Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera, and still has a functional remote transmitter. I have a G2 and I am trying to diagnose if my transmitter is broken or if the receiver inside the camera is broken.

I am searching for a digital camera for my mother. She had a Canon Powershot A95 (I have the same one and love it) which was too much camera for her. I am looking for a good digital camera to replace it BUT it seems even the simplest digitals have a gazillion shoot modes. Basically, what she wants is a digital camera that you turn on and take photos. No additional shoot modes, no movie mode, no macro, no twilight mode, no nothing….just a shoot mode and view mode where you can review your photos and delete unwanted shots. THAT’S IT! Sounds like a simple order but it is getting tough. At this point, I am only finding these simple cameras at Target and such but they are brands that I am not familiar with and many have bad reviews except the Vivitar.

Canon EOS 500D Digital Camera Review

On August 30th, 2010 by DigRecent.com | No Comments | Posted in Canon

Canon EOS 500D

polaroid cameras you get high asa up to 6400 asa . good for night shots. they have a 12 mega pixil 3″ tft see in daylight touch screen model 6400 asa for $129 retail price. you can’t beat that. kodak has easyshare software easy to use with computer. kodak added lots more high asa models. i think they have a 12mp high asa model for $139. also olympus has several models that you can drop 6 feet & nothing breaks on camera.

they are also waterproof to 9 feet for swimming pool shots too. olympus is number one selling camera in europe. they are a little more pricey $189 & up. asa not as high. panasonic uses leica glass lenses. one of the best lenses. but a good lumix panasonic will set you back $289. they hAve high asa , good electronics & great lenses. nikon isnt what it used to be. they cheapened out not too hot. used to be nikormat slr was fantastic & lenses super. but the compact digital cameras have troubles pass on them. fuji finepix i know nothing about them.

fuji made best blank vhs video tape i ever used. rest was garbage.i tried them all. if you got big bucks canon makes the best still camera. it’s a 21 megapixel with broadcast quality video canon EOS 5 D MARK 2 or new canon EOS 7 D for even better video. the canon lenses for it kick ass too. this camera makes nikon look like cracker jack box prize.

I’ve read a few articles online regarding buying the right camera for a safari. A few mention renting a telephoto lens. Where might one rent a lens and/or camera? Also, I’m I leave on safari next Thursday so my time for research is limited. If anyone has any ideas for a good solid camera for this purpose that won’t leave me broke, I’m all ears. I’ve read that the Canon EOS-30D and the Nikon D70s are good. I’m looking to spend under $800 for camera and lens (if possible). Craigslist has some for sale but I’m not entirely comfortable laying out that kind of money on a website where no feedback is given on the seller (like ebay). I cannot use ebay because it would take too long to get the camera.
