Multi-area Mode Full HD D-movie with three image area options A dedicated movie-record button has been positioned near the shutter-release button for smooth starting and stopping of movie recording with a feel similar to that of still-image shooting. Full-HD movie recording at a frame size of 1920 × 1080 and frame rate of 30 fps is supported, and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression method has been adopted. Movies up to 29 minutes 59 seconds can be recorded. Image sensor sensitivity begins at ISO 200 and can be expanded to ISO 204800 equivalent possible with still-image shooting. Full-HD movies can be recorded with the D4 using one of three image areas: FX-based movie format, DX-based movie format, or 1920 × 1080 crop; all available at 30 fps/ 25 fps or 24 fps. FX-based movie format makes full use of the large image sensor, enabling movies with an emphasis on pleasing blur characteristics. When a DX lens is attached, DX-based format is automatically selected. This format is useful for creating an extension to the focal length of an existing lens. For an even stronger telephoto effect, the 1920 × 1080 crop format brings an approximately 2.7x crop of the picture angle while delivering outstanding video quality and detail, obtaining 1080p Full HD. By choosing the movie format appropriate for the particular scene, the three image area options available with a single camera enable more flexible imaging expression through collaboration with the entire NIKKOR lens lineup …

DigitalRevCom asked:

So, we reviewed the Nikon D7000 just a few days ago ( www.youtube.com ) and we liked it a lot. With the upgrades, it really has been upped a class, what with the 100% viewfinder, 6fps continuous burst, metal body, as well as 1080p video recording. So, it’s only natural that lots of people have been asking us – Canon 7D vs Nikon D7000: which one is better?

Introducing the new Nikon D4

Nikon

asked:




Are you ready to move up where the “big boys” play. You know, the digital SLR camera crowd.

Now is a perfect time to either buy a Canon Rebel T1i as your first DSLR or to upgrade from one of the older Rebel models. In fact, wouldn’t a new camera be a nice present for yourself considering the holidays are upon us?

This Canon Rebel T1i review will focus on some of the absolutely best features of this amazing camera.

Here is a list of specifications that will be of interest to most camera buyers:

15.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor – capable of printing HUGE pictures 3″ LCD panel with 920,000 pixel resolution. Works very well even in high light conditions. ISO of 100-1600 with a boost to 12800 is needed for really low light (the image quality really suffers at that high of an ISO) Lenses are interchangeable – uses all EF and EF-S lenses Digic 4 processor (this is how the camera processes the pictures. It is a much better processor than most point and shoot cameras, giving you a mega-advantage in the image quality) Kit lens is 18-55mm with IS High Speed Shooting at 3.4fps for as many as 170 JPEG images Plenty of shooting modes, including Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual which are the mainstays of digital SLR photography. Creative Auto Mode – a brand new feature for the T1i, which point and shoot owners will recognize as a feature in your better compact cameras. The camera makes creative decisions for the photographer. Video capture at 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 20fps or 1280 x 720 (720p) at 30fps. Because of only 20fps, you might want to use the 720p option when shooting video to get better quality. That size will show up very nicely on your HDTV screen.

Canon released two similar cameras in the “family pocket camera” market. They are the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS and its close relative, the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.

A very quick glance at the specifications of these two compact pocket cameras shows that they are almost identical. Here are some of the similarities:

Size: 3.4″ wide by 2.2″ high by 0.7″ deep LCD: 2.5″ with 230,000 pixel resolution Zoom: 3x with very similar focal equivalents Image Quality: both are excellent for compact pocket cameras Aperture: not exactly equal but not enough difference to make a case one way or the other ISO range: auto, or 80-1600 White Balance selection: 6 positions and manual preset Image Processor: Canon Digic 4

The differences are only in the Megapixels and the video capablility. The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS has a whopping 12 megapixel image sensor, while the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS has only a 10 megapixel image sensor. If you are a megapixel watcher, this may be enough for you to go for the SD780 IS, but it really is not enough of a difference to base your final decision on.

Who could have dreamed that the White Pentax K-x would be so widely celebrated? The perfect adjective for this rather small digital SLR is definitely “sexy”.

But should you buy a digital camera just because it is ****? Heck no. You buy it because it takes impressive pictures… and it’s ****.

Browsing the reviews, you will find all kinds of glowing remarks about this small, yet stylish camera. Surprise is one of the principal observations. Surprise that such a petite digital camera can have so many pro features.

I am listing just a few of the comments that were given. These show the element of surprise from the commenters.

It can be used by the whole family, even the ones that are not adept at setting camera controls. Just set the camera on auto and it acts like a point and shoot camera. But it has one huge advantage over a digital compact – there is no shutter lag! This camera take great video! HD quality video at 1280 by 720, which equals cameras that cost three times as much. This is a great camera for a beginner, especially if you read the manual, which is extremely helpful. The camera actually “helps” you navigate through the menu. This is the best entry level DSLR on the market, by far! The advanced features, such as in camera processing spare you from purchasing expensive post processing software.

But small and cute (sexy) are not the only attractions to consider. Here are just a couple of major benefits you get in the Pentax K-x.

When considering any digital SLR, you should look for excellent image quality. This camera has it, even at higher ISO settings. ISO goes up to 12800 which will allow you to take photos in very low light situations, like concert halls where no flash photography is permitted.

Another really fun feature is the ability to take 4.7 frames per second. It’s great for sporting events where there is lots of action. There is no digital compact that can compare to 4.7 frames per second!

The LCD screen is quite large at 2.7″. It has “Live View” so that you do not have to use the viewfinder to compose your photo. Many pros balk at using LCD Live View. They are quite comfortable using the viewfinder. Point and shoot camera owners are very familiar with using an LCD screen. In fact they depend on it. You have the best of both worlds in this DSLR.

Although this is not really a feature, it is worth considering: the Pentax K-x stacks up pretty well next to some more expensive models like the Nikon D5000 and Canon T1i.

Now the question is, where do you actually get one of these amazing photographic marvels? It will take a bit of luck to find one in a local department store or camera store. Brick and mortar stores are usually very conservative in their inventory. So you probably will not find one unless you really get lucky.

Getting one online is, without a doubt, your best option.

Not every photographer is a professional. Of this I am guilty.

But I really like my Canon EOS 30D. And, although my camera is not a pro dslr camera, I have obtained some genuinely excellent pictures with it. I have also earned some awards on various websites as “photograph of the day”.

Looking for lenses for my own Canon dslr led me to consider the Canon EF-S macro lens selection. I find that EF-S lenses perform really well, basically due to the fact they are designed specifically for my variety of digital camera. In the event you own a Canon Rebel, virtually any model, or any of the XXD Canon cameras, you are able to use these particular lenses on your dslr camera.

The technological innovation has been particularly geared toward digital cameras with a APS-C sensor (this is the sensor that is in the entry-level to mid-level digital slr cameras referred to above).

To my surprise, there is simply one Canon EF-S macro lens available. It is the 60mm f/2.8 USM lens, and it is a dedicated macro lens. You can take pictures of really small objects, bugs, flowers, and all manner of little things. Close-up photography is the main contributing factor for why I actually moved from a digital compact to my very first Canon Rebel.

Nikon D90 DSLR Camera is the world’s first digital camera that has a unique ability of recording video. With 12.3 mega pixel resolution, the camera possess CMOS as its image sensor. Nikon D90 digital camera uses Secure Digital (SD) Memory card or Multimedia Card (MMC) to store pictures. At times, you may observe corruption of the memory card which occurs due to virus infection, file system crash, or accidental switch off of the camera while a particular operation is in progress. This results in inaccessibility of pictures stored in SD/MMC memory card. In such situations, using an updated backup will prove handy. But, if the backup is not available, you will need to use a high quality Photo Recovery Software to recover your lost data from the corrupted memory card.

For instance – you try to view the pictures stored in SD/MMC card of your Nikon D90 camera and you encounter one of the following error message:

“MEMORY CARD ERROR”

You are researching like you never have before, waffling back and forth between the two cameras because you can’t decide if you need the video of the T1i or you just want to take great still photos, which the XSi will give you for over $100 less.

You decide on the T1i… Whew! Then you notice all the discussion about the kit lens in those camera forums.

“Wait, are you telling me I need to consider buying another lens in addition to the kit lens?” you ask. “Isn’t there another way?”

Consider this. Get one lens instead of 2 or 3, but make it a good one. That way, you can keep the same lens on the camera for your wide angle landscapes or family photos, and just zoom in with your telephoto to take that action shot at the soccer game.

The Nikon D3100 digital SLR is one of the newer cameras in the marketplace. But it is already 1 of the top 10 DSLRs within the online marketplace.

The Top 10 Digital SLR Cameras list is really a list of the top makes, not by the quantity of sales, but by the user satisfaction ratings, or popularity. Each time a buyer logs in to one of the internet stores and buys a camera, they are able to then go back and leave opinions about their purchase decision.

There’s a 5 Star rating that gets averaged to help possible buyers choose if the particular camera has the value and reliability they are seeking.

The list is compiled by searching the internet store for highest rated cameras. So that you can top quality, the model must have a minimum of 30 reviews. Then the list is compiled using the highest star-rating averages.
