World’s First Digital Camera 1975
Digital Camera Tips Before You Head To The Store
Digital cameras come in many sizes, colors, brands, zooms, resolutions, playbacks, etc. There are so many features and qualities that are being placed in the devices that buyers especially first timers become overwhelmed and dizzy with these outstanding arrays of gadgets. This is even without including the various advertisements and different ratings that are used to promote these products.
So what are the things to look for if you want to buy digital camera? To be able to answer these, there are 2 sets of information you have to know before you can decide. The first type of information is defining what YOU need and want in a digital camera. To do this, you can ask yourself the following questions:
What do you want to take with your digital camera?
Before you buy digital camera, it is important to determine what kind of pictures you want to take with it. If you are a digital photography enthusiast, any digital camera will not just do. You have to look for features that can support the zooming you need, the resolution, etc.
How much is your budget?
This is a very important question any person who intends to buy digital camera should ask. Because no matter what your needs and wants are for the device, your financial resource will play a huge part in dictating the type of digital camera you will buy.
What are you resources?
When you buy digital camera, sometimes the spending does not end there. You also have to consider the capacity and the power of the computer and the printer you will be hooking your camera with for your editing and printing needs. Editing software are already included when you buy digital camera but other devices aren't. Aside from a printer, ink and paper for printing, you might also need additional memory cards for your camera and a more powerful computer to support image editing and image storage and retrieval.
After answering these 3 questions, the second set of information you need to know before you buy digital camera are the features that you need in the device. These are:
Resolution
Before you buy digital camera, check first its capacity to produce high quality photo images. The number of pixels indicated determines resolution. The more number of pixels, the higher the resolution which can make photos to be enlarged without losing image quality.
Built-in memory
Digital cameras need memory cards for picture storage. When you buy digital camera, make sure that the gadget that you buy does not only have a "built-in" memory but should also have a card slot for external and additional memory. This allows you to change full memory cards conveniently while shooting your pictures.
Look and feel
It is essential for you to feel comfortable holding your digital camera while shooting. So, before you buy digital camera, it good to test and check if you are comfortable holding it and using it. Consider where the buttons are located and how they are spaced out and see also if you feel comfortable using the viewfinder.
Battery life
Digital cameras use up batteries fast and batteries are expensive. Before you buy digital camera, consider if the camera's batteries are rechargeable. This way you can recharge them. Take also into consideration an AC adapter when you buy digital camera. You can attach this to the camera when you are viewing your pictures or uploading them.
LCD
The LCD is a special consideration you have to look into when you buy a digital camera. This is a small screen located at the back of a digital camera that allows you to preview the pictures you took. This has to be considered when you buy digital camera because it uses up a lot of battery power.
Special features
Special features that will suit your needs should be thought about, too before you buy digital camera. If you want your camera to have good zooming, you can opt for those with optical zoom lenses. A diopter adjustment on the digital camera's viewfinder will also be beneficial to those who regularly wear glasses and wish to buy digital camera. Other features such as remote control, tripods, etc. can also be considered when you buy a digital camera.
With these information, you can now figure out what you really need and want before you buy digital camera. If you want to see ratings and rankings of these devices based on price, resolution or other features, check out various websites that have these in the Internet.
Nikon D90
Nikon D90 digital SLR camera test : The D90 as a possible successor to the D80 was a consistent rumor in the air. Yet two years would pass by before the Nikon D90 was actually here. The moment we held the Nikon D90 in our hands for the first time, we had to search for the differences in the design, though. Minor adjustments of the design with neater and clearer curves, confirm it is indeed the new Nikon DSLR. Naturally, the main changes are found inside the camera. Here, Nikon has altered many things to enable the Nikon D90 to connect to the line of new DSLR cameras such as the D300, D700 and D3.
10.2 Megapixel Nikon D90 SLR camera
First, there is the different image sensor. Whereas the Nikon D80 was equipped with a 10.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, the Nikon D90 features the newly developed 12.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor. This is an important fact, since Nikon claims that in combination with Nikon's EXPEED processor, this sensor is able to deliver a high ISO performance that will lift the camera to the level of the D300. In addition, the monitor on the back has been renewed. Where it was already a vast improvement to have a 3 inch instead of a 2.4 inch monitor, the enhanced resolution to VGA quality will considerably improve the reproduction of the monitor.
Live View integrated in the Nikon D90
Naturally, Live View is available, a feature that until recently was unthinkable for a DSLRcamera , and has now become almost a 'must'. Nikon has stepped ahead with the integration of Live View, and has implemented a mode that might become a 'standard' on future generations of digital SLR cameras ; Video mode. For the purists, this is like swearing in church, however, there's no stopping the innovative process. It makes the Nikon D90 the first DSLR camera in the world offering the possibility to capture videos in 720p HDTV quality. This scoop lasted only for a very short time; Canon followed quickly with the EOS 5D Mark II.
Nikon D90 review including a DIWA Lab test
Resuming; the Nikon D90 is equipped with the latest technique, combined with innovations coming from Nikon's higher segment. Yet the D90 does not aim at the semipro market, instead it aims at the amateur market. The operation of the Nikon D90 is therefore kept as simple as possible, in order to ensure that the beginning, not so experienced photographer will be able to work with the menu of the camera fast and effortlessly. We were given the opportunity to use and test the camera in practice and in addition, the Nikon D90 was extensively technically tested in our DIWA Lab. Both tests resulted in this full Nikon D90 review.
