Olympus Stylus 1010 10MP Digital Camera Review

We tend to think more mega pixel means better camera, which is not always true. When you will use 10mp Digital Camera from Olympus Stylus 1010 you will agree that in some digital camera more mega pixels always work better than many other brands. That is what I felt when I first started using 10mp Digital Camera from Olympus Stylus 1010. It supports SD card memory up to 16 GB. I personally use 8 GB memory card and find it more than enough for me. Loads of controls are there which can confuse you initially, which happened in my case.

Olympus Stylus 1010

If you are going to record video then forget that with 10mp Digital Camera from Olympus Stylus 1010. It can record only 20 seconds of video that too in VGA 640×480/30fps mode. I do not think that would be a great deal for anybody, so you better use it for snapshots and other photographs but not for videos. If in case you change the mode to VGA 640×480/15fps, then you can record for a longer period of time. But I still do feel that the video quality is not what I want from this camera. I rather use it for experimenting with various compositions to make my eyes feel confident about photography. You can upgrade the software by visiting their website and download it directly to your digital camera. If in case, you do any mistakes while upgrading the firmware, you need to rush to the service centre for further assistance. It is advisable to upgrade the firmware carefully.

Beside this simple problem you cannot really find any another problems in it. The picture quality is too good and various modes, color tones and options make the whole thing attractive towards the customer. Even if you are zooming, you will not face any trouble with the focus. There are many digital cameras that go out of focus while zooming, but I really feel this camera is full proof and there is no other good camera for me than this one right now. I even enlarge some of the pictures and the quality remained same. Whenever people look at those pictures and appreciate, I feel proud and give thanks to 10mp Digital Camera from Olympus Stylus 1010.

FAQ

I am using a 10 mega pixel digital camera, but I cannot take close up pictures clearly. No matter how hard I focus, I always get blurry pictures. Are there some technical problems or are there some other ways to take clear close up pictures? Please suggest me something useful.

FAQ

There are different types of blurry pictures one can have. All the problems happen because of different reasons. The most common reason is, you are trying to focus hard, but still the picture is out of focus and that is enough reason to make your picture blurry. Also you need to experiment a bit with your lens. Every lens has its limitation and they all have certain minimum distance that you need to maintain while taking pictures to get the best quality pictures. Another thing you need to avoid while taking photograph is a shake. For that, you can use tripod. If you want to become a pro, then try to select a camera and make a photo and not just take a photo. Learn the limitations of your camera and make them work in your favor.

Kodak Z1085 Digital Camera Review ((10.0MP, 5x Optical Zoom)

I do not have any idea if I rate this camera a five star then what will happen. Kodak introduced Z series so that people can afford digital cameras but in low price range. Kodak Z1085 has become successful too according to my opinion. I was using a canon digital camera and then I got this present on my birthday from my fiancé. It was something I felt really happy about as I spend my weekend at various places clicking photos of different cultures, lifestyles and landscapes. The ISO and IMO works really fantastic in Kodak Z1085 digital camera. There are other products in Z series and they are 12 mega pixel and 14 mega pixel cameras. But I personally think that with higher mega pixel, the IMO can face certain problems in this Z series of Kodak.

Kodak Z1085

A couple of AA batteries are needed for Kodak Z1085. One pair of non rechargeable batteries comes with the camera itself and, these batteries will work for a longer period of time. It happened in my case as I used to check how long these batteries are working and I got fed up because the batteries are really good and you will never get disappointed for sure. Also you can get 5x optical zoom option there, which is always good to capture long distance pictures. I always prefer Kodak for its price ranges. It is not always possible go for the high priced models. Kodak Z1085 digital camera, I feel is the best option for anybody who is looking for user friendly, sleek digital camera with all the world class specifications.

Another thing is that the HD video is also not bad in Kodak Z1085 digital camera. Usually the HD video does not work well with such digital cameras but Kodak Z1085 digital camera is definitely one exception. Though, I did not get any accessories in the starter pack, but I think for anybody the cheaper rate is more than enough and one can surely buy the accessories later. The designing, easy controlling are enough to please you, so you would not mind to pay for the accessories for sure. I am happily using it and I really am not thinking about changing it near future.

Panasonic DMCFS5

There is a quick zoom button that you can find and this will make many things easier for you. You can enjoy 4X optical zoom, which is very useful to take pictures from a bit long range. The wide angle camera which sharp picture quality and ease of use, I certainly could not ask for more. There are some really useful modes which you can use according to your needs.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Digital Camera Review (10MP, 20x Optical Zoom, 2.5″ Vari-angle LCD)

If you think I am here to write a long and critical review about Canon Power Shot SX10 IS, then you are guessing it wrong. I am just a camera lover who loves to take pictures of various things. I truly want to learn photography, and in this process I came to know about Canon Power Shot SX10 IS. It has huge zoom range that makes photography easier and fantastic from quite a long range. You can also control the noise by increasing or decreasing the ISO. I usually set the ISO at 200 to reduce the noise and to enrich the quality of the picture. Previously, I was using other digital cameras but the IMO color fringing in Canon Power Shot SX10 IS, is definitely fantastic, and it simply gives a different taste of photography to the photographer.

Canon PowerShot SX10

Not only simple snapshots, but I can take fantastic macro shots with my Canon Power Shot SX10 IS. I am recently experimenting with various telephoto and portraits. I am really getting amazed with the variety of photo I can take with same brilliance with this fantastic digital camera from Canon. The most interesting feature according to me is the 20x optical zoom. If one can use it properly, taking brilliant pictures can be a real easy job for you. The controls are pretty much user friendly, and the solid body feels well made and hardy. In the very beginning, I used to feel tired after using it for a long time, but then I became used to it. Obviously, to get great pictures I will not really mind carrying a little bit heavy camera because I know that the result will be sweet to enjoy.

In time of long zoom, I face a problem with focusing. I cannot really focus properly then. Over ISO 800, I really do not get good quality pictures. I need to work really hard and then to focus and to reduce the noise from the picture. Also it is not a fantastic action capturing camera. But, definitely for snapshots, portraits and other types of pictures, the best name for me is the Canon Power Shot SX10 IS.

Samsung S1070 Digital Camera review (10MP, 3x Optical Zoom 2.7” LCD)

I have got quite mixed reviews before purchasing my Samsung s1070 digital camera. Because of those reviews, I was not confident enough, and I really had doubts whether I have chosen the right one or not. Obviously, I was investing on it, and the picture quality mattered a lot. I am not a great photographer, but even if my hands shake a bit while taking the picture, I can still get a fantastic still photo. I am really having fun with my new black Samsung s1070 digital camera. I used to have another point and shoot earlier, but the quality of the picture is great in it, and the ease of use makes it even more fun to have.

Samsung S1070

Zooming is one feature which is very important for such digital cameras. New Samsung s1070 has 3x optical zoom facility. That means you can capture the best quality picture, while zooming up to 3x, no doubt this is great for anybody. I am using it for fun and also to gather knowledge about photography. I do not know about SLR or DSLR that much, but Samsung s1070 digital cam is no doubt a great help for me to learn photography easily. I usually carry the charger and AA Batteries, whenever I go for a day with my new digital camera. Though, many people said that Samsung s1070 has some battery problems, and the battery charge does not last longer, but I have not faced any such problems yet.

I do not use the manual mode often. Only if I need to adjust the lights, ISO and other details, then I choose the manual mode. Otherwise, automatic mode works more than just fine. The buttons and features are very friendly and useful for both novice and experienced photographers. I took just one day to understand the basic features of Samsung black s1070digital camera. I also have bought one USB card adapter so that I can connect the 8 GB SDHC card with my laptop and transfer the photos easily. I am very happy with my Samsung digital camera. It will make you feel good about your investment whenever you will see the photos.

Panasonic DMC-FX37K 10MP Digital Camera Review

Before I start this reviews, let me confess that I am not a pro photographer, I love photography and this is my hobby. New DMC- FX37K from Panasonic is a luxurious digital camera where you can get nearly all the facilities that you can get in a SLR camera. The wide angle, 10 mega pixel beast with amazing photo quality is something you can enjoy while taking pictures. I have seen many reviews where the people said that, DMC- FX37K is a bit heavier than other digital cameras available in this range. But I won’t call it as a negative point because it does not affect the photo quality at all. I have never expected an effective 25mm lens with a digital camera, but with DMC- FX37K I am getting exactly that and I am really amazed to see that.

Panasonic DMC-FX37K

I feel a little problem with the flash though. In a low light place, I need to adjust the flash and exposure very carefully, otherwise most of the pictures do not just work, and I really feel disappointed then. But apart from this flash problem, I really failed to find any problems in DMC- FX37K from Panasonic. I usually stick to ISO 100 or ISO 200 as I get best quality picture with them, and also the noise becomes pretty lower in these cases, otherwise, I need to work hard after taking the photo to reduce the noise. The battery back up is satisfactory too. I use 8 GB memory card with it and if you are planning to buy DMC- FX37K then do not select memory card less than 4 GB. Also I set the aperture at f/2.8 to take good quality in low light areas and it works fantastic. I wish the manufacturer could have provided some more manual controls to it then I would have enjoyed it even double.

Little bit shutter lag is there, and when you are taking picture in a random mode this shutter lag can create little problem for you. It has 5X optical zoom, and frankly I really do not mind those small couple of problems because whenever I see the pictures taken by it, all my grudges fade away.
