1) CAMERA ZOOM FX

4) PRO HDR

Share Photos and Videos from Digital Camera to your Mobiles and Tablets

09:44 ,
Today everything revolves around social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and 9gag. When someone sees something special, funny or weird in any way, they will photograph it and publish on some social network. The connection between digital camera and internet, especially social network is more important than ever. People from Fujifilm decided to use this connection and make a digital camera that can in an easy and fast way share photos between smart phone and digital camera.
The Fuji FinePix F800 is a digital camera from Fujifilm that has one application for easier and better sharing photos between digital camera and your smart phone or tablet. The whole camera is very simple and elegant, it has elegant curves and it is available in three colors; red, blue and black. They made it with rubber edges to prevent it from slipping, which is great move. This camera has a manual pop up flash, which you can open with one button and you can close it just by putting it back in the camera. It is very easy to handle with simple commands. On the top of the camera there are few buttons, like the power button and function button. The great thing about this camera is that is has separate button for video control so you can start recording no matter what you are doing at the moment.
Fuji FinePix F800
This Fuji FinePix has 16.6 megapixels EXR CMOS sensor for high quality photographs. Photos taken with this digital camera are great, sharp and clear with great colors, even in low lights. This camera has great wide-angle which is perfect for landscapes or group photos. The video recorded with this digital camera is HQ with excellent stereo sound. This camera is different from other cameras because with it you can share your photos on the digital camera with you tablet. This is named Wireless Image Transfer. You can just turn it on and expect from it to work, you'll have to download an application to your smart phone or tablet named Fujifilm Photo Reciever. 

 A Fujifilm Photo Reciever is an application made by Fujifilm for you to synchronize your Fuji digital camera with Wireless Image Transfer and your smart phone and tablet. It is compatible with both iPhones and Android smart phones and iPad and Android tablets, so you can download it for both brands on the internet. When you open the application, it shows you the list of the cameras with what you can use it. The application is free and compatible to almost every brand of tablet and smart phones on the market.

When you start this application, you can upload photos directly from your digital camera without any passwords or any kind of identification. You don't have to upload every picture separately; you can do it in about 30 pictures at a time, no more than 2 GB in size, which is a great thing. Before choosing which one you will download you can browse on you tablet and see which pictures you have and then choose only few you like.

Canon EOS M The First Compact System Camera

14:23
Ever since the first mirrorless compact system camera in 2008, snappers have been dropping mirrors like luckless barbers. Only Canon had stayed away until now…

In 1987, Canon dropped its FD mount for EF, allowing for fancy autofocus shenanigans. Now it’s introducing a new mount, EF-M. Looks like Canon isn’t just dipping a cautious toe in the CSC water – it’s come brandishing a snorkel.

The EOS M is about the same size as the Panasonic GF-5, making it one of the smaller CSCs available. Despite its dimensions, it’s still packing the same 18.1MP APS-C sensor as in Canon’s 650D DSLR.
Like any good CSC, the M shoots 1080p video, but it’s also got the same party trick as the 650D: continuous autofocus as it films. A camera the size of an old-style compact with easy-to-use, DSLR-quality video? Impressive.

Unlike a DSLR, most of the M’s controls are not on the body but accessed via touchscreen which, again, is also how the 650D does it. You can pick a focus point by prodding and take a snap by tapping. Altering settings does always take a little longer, though.

Two swish new lenses are already available: an 18-55mm zoom and a 22mm, f/2 ‘pancake’ lens that suits the M’s size. But don’t throw your old glass away just yet you can buy the EF adapter which allows you to use your existing EF lenses with the new mount.

Sensor and touchscreen aren’t all the M shares with its larger DSLR brother. Canon has also furnished it with the same Digic 5 processor, which means a similarly catlike low-light performance, thanks to an ISO range expandable to 25,600 and excellent noise reduction.

 Price - Rs.49,000/-

Canon PowerShot A2300: A Critical Product Review

18:05
To date, there are more than 30 Canon cameras in circulation in the market. Eighteen of these products fall under the A-Series Digital Cameras which is more commonly known as the PowerShots. This review will focus on the Canon PowerShot A2300.
Affordable price. For a compact camera that provides the point and shoot experience, users will get to enjoy the basic features they usually look for at a reasonable price.

 Sharp lens. We all want clarity in our photos and the Canon PowerShot A2300 gives us exactly that. One might think that such clarity in pictures usually comes at a high price but then again, Canon has made price and clarity a package through this model.

 Speedy. The shutter snaps as soon as you press it with no significant delays. This gives users the ability to capture rare moments in photos without the demand to smile a little longer.

 Built-in Help Guide. It’s a good idea to conserve paper by including a User Guide within the camera itself. Think about taking a tutorial over a certain function while looking at the camera screen. It gives the kinesthetic user a very hands-on experience.

 Colors. The Canon PowerShot A2300 comes in variety of colors like red, black, blue, and silver. These colors add personality to their owners.

 Creative modes. Well, there is always this wacky kind of preference among people and the options offered by the Canon PowerShot A2300 matches that need. With these options, one can personalize photos at will.

 Color reproduction. When the image is clear, it can be reproduced to a surprisingly high quality colored photo.

 Ease of use. With a guide built within the camera, it is not a wonder why users will find this model easy to operate.

 ISO Performance. Unlike the other models along its class, the Canon PowerShot A2300 has been receiving quite a feedback in terms of its ISO rating when it comes to image optimization.

 Image stabilization. While this product is quick on the shutter, users will expect to do a second take. For people who have shaky hands, this might prove a challenge. One can only think that a stable image can be captured when the photographer is at its moment of stillness.

 Video support. People would want a camera that can take pictures and shoot videos. However, they might not find that a good feature in the Canon PowerShot A2300. The idea of snapping pictures is already here but when it comes to video recording, it may not be as competitive as the other models under its class.

 Continuous shooting. This simply means that you need to take a “break” in every picture you take. It does not support continuous shooting as other models do. In effect, it cooperates by allowing you to take a rest between takes.

 Image detail. This is applicable for large print photos. The details are not too fine if a photo is reproduced in a bigger size.

 Optical zoom. This is only observed when in video mode. So if you plan to focus on something in a vide sequence, you simply can’t because it’s not designed to do that.

 Conclusion
All products would have its ups and downs only because we cannot get everything we want in a single device. The concept of sacrificing something to accommodate another is still operational unless costs are not a problem. In this case, the Canon PowerShot A2300 is an affordable type of camera that suits those who do not take pictures all the time. With the desirable features it has to offer, one can only think that he is getting the best value for his money when compares this product to its competitors.

users might have a few comments about it too. And this is the same reason why technology is being replaced from time to time. It is to introduce developments based on the perceptions and needs of the general public. Therefore, this camera is not bad at all. The basic function it has in the photographic side is sufficient enough to capture the most precious moments in your life.

Comparison between Nikon and Samsung Android Cameras

18:13
As we all know each and every product which arrives into market come with its own list of features and specifications and comparing two different products with different brand names is not good at all. But the amount we invest to get hold on same product is to great that without comparing it's hard in fact next to impossible for us to decided which product would
suite us better.

And that's the reason that today we have decided to serve you with the comparison between those two product which have not only arrived from best companies in field but also are always referred as best among others which are available in a same price range. First product can be mentioned as samsung galaxy camera which is one of the latest additions on racks and other one is from house of nikon which is known as nikon Coolpix S800c.

Although this product (samsung galaxy camera) from the house of samsung is new but there is no doubt that this product has already taken control over most area in specific field. That's why most companies have already started working in direction to provide a better product from same. And on the other hand as we all know nikon is a company which has been catering this section of requirement since some time now, and there are no second thoughts about the fact that this is working much better than others in fact that's the reason this company is enjoying a much better position than all those as well.












Starting with the main comparison now:

Network - In case you came here with an assumption that nikon digital camera would come out as a brighter competitor than think hard and think again as in this particular section samsung has won the battle that to without fighting at all. As because were nikon is only and only available with Wi-Fi support samsung has decided to provide us much more for example 3G support with HSPA + D/L 21 Mbps, U/L 5.76Mbps.

Display - moving on to display part even here we can find that nikon is providing us a 3.5 inch OLED touch screen only were as samsung has designed its product around a 4.8 inch super clear touch display.

Operating system - this is again an area were samsung has provided us what can be mentioned as latest with android 4.1 jellybeans and on the other hand nikon digital camera has came up with an older Version of android which is also known as gingerbread 2.3.

Processor - if you chose to work with samsung you can work with a 1.4 GHz quad core processor and in case you end up with nikon digital camera you work with 1.2 GHz dual core processor.

Memory backup support - like most other in market nikon is here with 2gb internal memory support but you can add more space for work with the help of addition and external supports, but samsung is on the upper hand over here as well as it is coming with eight GB internal memory support with external additional.

Conclusion:

With all the various points we have mentioned till now and all those which are yet to be discovered we can say that samsung is moving far head of nikon and in case this company want to save itself it’s important that nikon soon arrive into market with something new and better. Otherwise one can say that samsung can take over the position nikon has been taking care of since some time now.
