Nikon Coolpix 990 3.34MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom Average Customer Review:  Electronics (01 May, 2000) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Nikon Coolpix 990 takes all the features of its popular predecessor, the Coolpix 950, and improves upon them. This 3.34-megapixel CCD offers true (noninterpolated) image resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 for easy cropping and high print quality. The built-in 3x zoom Nikkor lens provides 38-115mm coverage (35mm equivalent) for clear, sharp images with 4x stepless digital zoom. It also features a 1.8-inch low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD screen for easy composition and playback. Nikon's own 256-element matrix metering and white balance promise outstanding exposure and color balance in every image. Fully automatic with manual capabilities, the Nikon Coolpix 990 provides 4,896-step multi-area autofocus for quick composition without interruption. It provides a built-in five-mode flash and seven capture modes, including 1.5 fps (frames per second) full-resolution image capture, 30 fps QVGA, and 15 fps QVGA movies for 40 seconds in motion-JPEG mode.The 50-step manual focus gives complete creative control, while the macro focus mode allows you to shoot pictures from as close as 0.8 inches. You may choose between shutter priority and aperture priority exposure modes for greater artistic flexibility without added hassle. This camera also accepts all optional Coolpix lenses and accessories, including fisheye, wide angle, and telephoto lenses and up to five Nikon speedlights (with optional bracket) to light up any scene. Convenience features of the Nikon Coolpix 990 include its easy-to-use and easy-to-upgrade CompactFlash memory (16 MB card provided). This camera is capable of both NTSC and PAL video playback, and it works with both Macintosh and IBM platforms. Although the Nikon Coolpix 990 can connect to your PC via serial connection, it also offers high-speed USB connectivity for plug-and-play simplicity and faster picture downloads. ...

The large handgrip is a welcomed change from most other digicams out there.It feels nice and solid in your hand while the no-slip surface does its job admirably. The shutter release button is solid and the mode jog dial is placed perfectly.The user interface could benefit from minor usability improvements, but for the most part is easy to use and learn in seconds without consulting the manual.And to echo what everyone else mentions, battery life lasts me about 40 shots with the monitor and flash turned off.I take along a spare set of AA batteries for short outings.For longer outings, I mount a DigiPower DPS9000 external battery pack into the tripod mount Overall picture quality is good, but not to the level of my 35mm film cameras under moderate scrutiny.For web content, picture quality is awesome, though.Resolution and sharpness are perfectly acceptable for 4x6 prints.Nice to have the 3:2 ratio to let you print uncropped 4x6 images.Macro capabilities are great. Since I prefer to print my personal images, I feel the Coolpix's weakness is in its color reproduction.Photos printed on a Fuji Frontier 370 system seem to lack a certain saturation or 'punch' in various colors - things seem to be on the dull or compressed side and not very vibrant, even if the original scene was. This is especially noticeable when you hold a digital print next to a film print when both have used the same exposure and focal length and have been printed on the same machine. Sure, I can spend time in PhotoShop adjusting curves and levels, but that's more time consuming than it's worth if you ask me. For a few photos, no big deal.But if I just shot 50+ images that are keepers, I'm not going to spend countless hours tweaking each one. I found that a semi-decent shortcut is to get the ICC profile for my target printer and batch up all the images in PhotoShop to have the profile applied automatically.I then spend $0.29/print at my local camera shop getting them printed.Inexpensive, fast, sharp, and durable -there's no way I can print at home at that price or time savings, and I doubt anyone else can.

Casio QV3000EX 3.34-Megapixel Digital Camera with 340 MB MicroDrive Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $799.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Casio QV-3000 Plus digital camera is a 3.34-megapixel camera that offers still photos at 2,048 x 1,536 maximum resolution as well as 320 x 240 pixel movie-mode capabilities. It provides a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens, a 1.8-inch HAST LCD screen, and a cursor pad for user-friendly menu selection. Other features include auto or manual focus, autoexposure, auto white balance, a built-in quartz digital clock, an automatic four-mode flash with red-eye reduction, and nine special shooting modes. While all these features are fairly standard with similar high-end megapixel cameras from other manufacturers, what sets the Casio QV-3000 Plus apart from its peers is its memory storage capabilities. This camera offers CompactFlash card capability much like other digital imaging devices, but also supports IBM's Microdrive--the most powerful method of storing digital images to date. The Microdrive, which is included with the camera, offers an incredible 340 MB of memory. Users can snap up to 400 high-quality images or 19 minutes of 7-frame-per-second video without having to switch memory cards or download. One IBM Microdrive could replace over 11 rolls of film. This storage capacity makes it easy to use the QV-3000 Plus in situations where you'll be away from your computer for an extended time (such as while you're on vacation). The Casio QV-3000 Plus is USB compatible (although you don't need a USB port to use it) and works with both PC and Macintosh platforms.

Canon PowerShot S100 2MP Digital ELPH Camera Kit w/ 2x Optical Zoom Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $499.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Canon's latest crowning achievement, the PowerShot S100, packs a high-quality digital camera into the tiny, elegant body of Canon's Digital Elph series. With this item, Canon becomes the first to produce such a small digital camera with high resolution. The super-popular Elph APS cameras were favored because users could slip them into shirt pockets and take them anywhere. Now the digital camera has truly come of age with this ultraportable model. The PowerShot S100 uses the same durable stainless-steel case as the traditional Elph series cameras. It offers 2-megapixel resolution for high-quality photos and prints up to 8 by 10 inches. Canon provides the PowerShot S100 with a high-resolution, low-distortion, all-glass aspherical 2x zoom lens (and a 4x digital zoom as well). The 1.5-inch LCD monitor displays most camera settings with easy-to-understand icons and minimal text. The PowerShot S100 features a 0.37-inch CCD that creates full color or black-and-white images up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels (it also offers a 640 x 480 pixel image size). The built-in flash uses a light guide and does not need a fresnel lens or a large reflector, making the camera even more compact. The PowerShot S100 stores images on an 8 MB CompactFlash card. Adobe PhotoDeluxe and PhotoStitch control image management, editing, compositing, and printing, while ZoomBrowser EX or ImageBrowser produce self-running screen slide shows, automatic e-mail preparation, and auto layout. The camera uses a high-speed plug-and-play USB interface, plus it has NTSC-out so you can view your photos on your TV. It's fully compatible with both Mac and PC platforms. ...

First, I have to say that I have NEVER had the slightest problem with this camera or the software.I've probably taken upwards of 5000 pictures with it, it's been all over the country.The software has been installed on Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP and I haven't had any problems with it.The camera is solid, performs well, takes good pictures, and the battery lasts pretty long if you disable the LCD viewfinder. If battery life were that big a deal, one could purchase a second battery and rotate. All that said, I am a little disappointed with the quality of the pictures from the camera.They are razor sharp, the color balance is perfect, and the focus is great.When taking pictures of people, however, it shows EVERY flaw in the subject's skin.Scratches, oil, freckles are magnified and come out looking horrific.It requires extensive Photoshopping to fix the flaws.Other cameras taking pics of the same subjects turn out looking much better.I'm going to buy another camera to take baby pictures, but I'll keep this as a travel camera. ...

Epson Photo PC 3000Z 3.2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $999.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Epson PhotoPC 3000Z provides you with all the tools you need tocreate memorable, lasting images. Picture quality is superb--with Epson'sproprietary HyPict interpolation/compression scheme, the camera's alreadyimpressive 2,048 x 1,536 (3.3-megapixel) resolution is bumped up to 2,544 x1,904 (4.8 megapixels). The 3000Z can store images in uncompressed TIFF format,and features three levels of JPEG compression. The 3x optical zoom takes youright into the action, helping you to capture great close-ups. The camera hasshooting modes for a wide variety of situations. Macro mode allows extremeclose-up photography, from 2.4 to 20 inches. The continuous shooting modeenables you to take pictures at 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 frames per second for 41, 7,and 3 consecutive shots (depending upon image quality). In interval shootingmode, the camera wakes to take shots at a user-specified interval between 10seconds and 24 hours and then goes back to sleep.

The 3000Z also comes with aselection of software for downloading images to your computer, and forperforming image manipulation and touch-up work.

Complaints? The carry bag is useless. The USB connecting port is awful .. a rubber flap. I really miss the sun-flap to view the video screen in bright sunlight. Without it, it's impossible to use on brilliant days .. the screen becomes a mirror. Perhaps the biggest complaint is that Epson hasn't increased the start-up speed: the camera seems to take forever to set up for the first photo. I've missed so many shots by having to wait that critical 4-5 seconds before the green LED flashes "ready". And when taking pics, the time to take a shot varies from fractions of a second to several seconds (when the subject has long gone). Overall, still my favorite digital camera. Awesome color reproduction and density. Light, small, fits the hand. Just, please, make it faster. ... Read more Asin: B00004TRY5 |

Fujifilm FinePix 40i 2.4MP Digital Camera /MP3 Player, Silver Average Customer Review:  Electronics list price: $499.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Fuji's FinePix 40i is in a category of its own. Though several manufacturers are producing combination digital camera/MP3 players, all of the other cameras are extremely basic entry-level point-and-shoot models. In contrast, the Fuji 40i is a quality camera that would be worthy of praise even if it didn't feature an integrated MP3 player. Instead of thinking of it as a combination digital camera and MP3 player, it's more accurate to call the 40i a supercompact high-resolution digital camera that also happens to play MP3 files. With the exception of the lens, the 40i is very similar to Fuji's other SuperCCD cameras (the FinePix 4700 and 4900, for example). Images are captured on a 2.4-megapixel SuperCCD sensor, which features octagonal pixels arrayed diagonally instead of traditional square pixels in a grid. Fuji claims that this system offers improved sensitivity and image detail over a standard CCD. To prove this point, the camera interpolates its 2.4-megapixel images up to 4.3 megapixels at the highest-quality setting. Independent tests typically place these interpolated images on a par with pictures from a 3.3-megapixel camera. Featuring a brushed metal case with integrated sliding lens cap, the camera feels well made and sturdy. Its overall dimensions of 3.4 by 2.8 by 1.1 inches make it one of the smallest digital cameras on the market. Our biggest disappointment with the camera is its lens. Virtually all digital cameras of this resolution and price feature zoom lenses; to cut back on size, weight, and price, Fuji has included only a nonzoom lens. The camera does feature a digital zoom, but this merely crops pixels from the edges of your photo and enlarges the remaining pixels, something you could do just as easily at home after transferring the images to your computer. If you're accustomed to having a zoom lens, you're likely to miss this feature. Otherwise, the 40i has all of the bells and whistles you'd expect in a quality point-and-shoot camera: multimode flash and white balance, self-timer, exposure compensation, macro, movie mode, and more. Some advanced camera features are missing--there's no shutter priority or aperture priority mode and no manual focus, but these features are often missing from all but the highest-end digital cameras. As an MP3 player, the 40i is perfectly adequate, with good sound quality. You can't take pictures and listen to MP3 files simultaneously, and the included 16 MB SmartMedia card holds only around 15 minutes of music. If you're serious about using the camera as an MP3 player, you'll definitely want to invest in a larger memory card. A pair of AA batteries should power the player for nearly three hours. To keep the record companies happy, Fuji has included a number of features designed to discourage users from sharing their memory cards. To transfer music to the camera, you'll need to use the included software, included USB cable, and the newer "ID" variety of SmartMedia card (look for an "ID" printed next to the card's capacity). Non-ID cards won't work for music, and you can't play cards recorded on another 40i, a Rio, or a card reader/writer. Like many personal audio products, the Fuji includes a wired remote that lets you control most music functions even when the camera is in a pocket, backpack, or briefcase. As a bonus, the remote also works with the camera, operating both the digital zoom and the shutter release. If you're a gadget lover who always needs to have the coolest gizmos, the Fuji FinePix 40i is a great choice. Its combination of supercompact, high-quality digital camera and MP3 player is hard to beat. Pros:

That aside, it is a good little camera.TV-Out is more of a gimmic than something you'll use regularly, as the pictures look very fuzzy, even on a decent TV.And it's very very easy to use, and produces very good photos. But personally, I'd think twice about going for this camera over, say, the Canon Ixus V.

Olympus E-10 4MP DigitalCamera w/ 4x Optical Zoom Average Customer Review:  Electronics list price: $1,449.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Olympus Camedia E-10 is a near-professional quality four-megapixel single-lens-reflex (SLR) digital camera with a number of unique features. First and foremost, the E-10 features an exceptionally high-quality 4x optical zoom lens with a focal length equivalent to a 35-140mm lens on a 35mm camera, and has a aperture of f2.0-f2.4 to f11.0, depending on how much zoom is used. Unlike many of the digital SLRs on the market, however, the lens is not removable. Olympus works around this by offering an extended set of lens additions that convert the lens from a wide-angle wonder to the equivalent of a 420mm super-zoom. Additionally, while the E-10 is an SLR camera, the LCD monitor also features live preview. Most SLR cameras utilize a mirror to supply the optical viewfinder with its image. Because of this, on most digital SLRs, the LCD monitor does not provide a live preview of the scenes you are trying to capture. The E-10 uses a beam-splitter--basically a prism--that allows the image to speed its way to both the optical viewfinder and the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor also sits on a hinge, letting you tilt it up 90 degrees, or down 20 degrees, allowing you to take pictures from unusual camera angles while still accurately framing the scene. Unlike most other digital cameras, the E-10 uses both SmartMedia and CompactFlash (Type I & II) for storage. Also unlike many other cameras, the resolution of your image can be selected from 2240 x 1680, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 1024 x 768, or 640 x 480 pixels, an unusually large selection. A histogram function lets you view exposure information after you capture an image, giving you instant feedback about how to improve your picture-taking skills. A 32 MB internal buffer allows the E-10 to take up to take up to four shots in sequence at three frames per second, even when set to record images as uncompressed TIFFs. The shooting options on the E-10 include all of the typical modes you'd expect to see on a high-end consumer digital camera: program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual shooting modes. Other user-controlled settings include exposure compensation, metering mode, ISO setting, flash, white balance, and focus. Users can leave white balance on auto, select from a number of Kelvin temperatures, or manually create a preset. The built-in flash features red-eye reduction, auto, fill-in, and off modes. External flashes can connect to the E-10 through the hot shoe on top of the camera. Exposure compensation can be set from -3 to +3 EV in one-third EV increments. The ISO can be set to 80, 160, or 320. Also, an autobracketing feature takes three pictures, one over-exposed and one under-exposed, and allows you to set the exposure compensation up to one EV step in either direction, in one-third EV step increments. The E-10 uses four AA or two CR-V3 batteries. ... Read more Features Reviews (41)
