Customer Review: Great Product
Great product I have over 22 gigs of these cards for use in my two canons (a 5D and a 300D)It's easier to carry extra memory cards than lug a lap top around for longer trips. I've never had a problem with any of these cards
Customer Review: Fair price - fair performance
I use it with my dSLR camera (Olympus E-510) and the only difference I notice between this one and Extreme III version is when copying photos to computer using Sandisk Imagemate reader. So it's a solid performer, and so far reliable, no file system problems.

All too often people come up with a lot of misconceptions about professional photographers. They often view them as privileged, having access to people and events others just dream about. They may think that photographers are always flitting off to tropical destinations for photo shoots. They look at photographers and wonder how they scored such a cushy job, just carrying around a camera and shooting pictures all day.

It may be easy to look at photography as a profession and develop that misconception. After all, photographers find themselves in some pretty exclusive situations. Photographers are needed to cover professional sporting events, star-studded celebrity affairs, political campaigns, terrible disasters-they are always right in the thick of the action, clicking away. How can people not be green with envy?

The truth is, photography requires a great deal of expertise and education. Photographers have to accumulate a large body of technical and artistic knowledge to ascend to the height of their profession. Just look at any professional's camera. The number of manual adjustments necessary to get the light and focus right before shooting can befuddle most mortals. The average Joe is contented to set his camera on automatic and never experiment with such things as shooting fireworks against an inky sky or capturing a downhill skier in the dead of winter.

To be sure, photography is a rewarding profession. The ability to take superb photos is highly rewarding in and of itself, and many camera buffs take it up as a serious hobby. With all the possibilities afforded by digital cameras and unbelievable computer programs with which to manipulate photographs, the profession is affording new possibilities all the time.

If you have a knack for photography, professional photography degrees have been the start for many people who are not in a position to attend a traditional trade school or college. Instead, there is a fantastic online program rooted in one of the nation's oldest and most respected photography schools. You can train for a photography career without interrupting your current schedule or breaking the bank. Online classes are a great solution for busy, budding photographers.

Canon 40d Made Easy Training Dvds 1 & 2

Learn every feature and function step by step in an easy explained manner. This camera does so many things you may not be aware of that we reveal in this video so take your photography to the next level withou through a complicated manual.
Customer Review: Great Video and Support
This is a great video because they speak in everyday language and cover every aspect of the camera. I like they way they show the menus and camera LCD full screen on the DVD. In addition, they give great "in the field tips" on how to exposure/focus lock. You learn about the camera and then 5-6 tips that you can put to use right away. An added bonus is that they give you 1 year of support. I was a little skeptical on this claim, but after taking some additional classes, I sent a detailed technical question and the response was thorough and insightful. Even after reading several books on the 40D, it seems like video can add a dimension that books can't. I think in 1 or 2 scenes they could have done some re-takes due to the video lens being a little distorted, but overall it adds to the personal feel of the video. I would highly recommend this video for anyone.

Sometimes you have to put your camera down to make a great image. I know what you are saying. How can you make a great image by putting your camera down?

First, putting the camera down and walking around your subject area gives you time to get to know the area. It gives you the opportunity to look at your proposed subject from different perspectives. This is especially important if you are shooting in a new area.

Secondly, putting the camera down lets you become comfortable with the environment of the area you want to shoot. The best images are conceived in your mind and then are captured by your camera. You should take your time and explore all the possibilities.

A. Discover the high areas and low areas.

• Should you shoot from a low perspective?

• Should you shoot from a high perspective?

• Should you shoot head on?

B. Find where the wildlife is.

• Is there an opportunity to get closer to the wild life if you wait for a while?

• Does the wildlife have a pattern of movement in the area?

• Are there noticeable pathways such as deer trails?

C. See the way the light plays across the landscape.

• What does the landscape look like at morning light or evening light?

• If you shift your perspective, does it affect the light?

• Are there opportunities to shoot after sundown?

D. Find the best side of a building if you are shooting architecture.

• What if your photograph parts of a building rather than the entire building?

• Is there a better side to the building other than the front?

• Does time of day change the way the building looks because of heavy shadows or lack of shadows?

Perhaps the greatest advantage of all is that you open yourself up to more images than you originally anticipated. The obvious image is not always the best image. When you put the camera down and walk around you expose yourself to all the opportunities.

Customer Review: Good for what it is
I purchased two of these batteries as backups for our two Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital Cameras. Both batteries charge in the original charger without problem and both batteries hold a charge for a good amount of time. They do not hold a charge as long as the original batter, but they hold it long enough to take quite a lot of video and/or photos. If I had to make a guess as to how it compares to the original battery, I'd say that where the original battery will run approx. 3 days while being used on a regular basis, these batteries will run approx. 1 /12 days to 2 days with the same usage. Definitely a great backup battery or a nice spare to keep on hand 'just in case'.
Customer Review: Good price, but does not last as long as the original.
It arrived on time. The Battery does not last that long (less than the original); but long enough for me to re-charge the original.

If you're a pet owner, then you know all about the special bond you have with your pets. They give us unconditional love, and ask for hardly anything in return except for a safe place to live, food and water.

Here are three great tips for taking wonderful photos of your pets - photos you'll be proud to display in a digital photo album.

No. 1. Back to nature. There's nothing quite like seeing an animal in its natural environment. For your pet, that could be the couch, backyard, your bed -- wherever their favorite spot is. Try to capture your pet in as many natural positions as possible, using natural light - with just one flash you could disturb them out of whatever cute pose they're in.

With natural light, you will also avoid problems such as red eye or over exposure. Also, you'll catch them where they're most comfortable and less likely to move.

Keeping the photo natural may mean going to them and getting at their level. If your cat is perched on top of a ledge, stand on a step stool. If you're dog is poking his nose out from under the bed, get down on your stomach and get as close as possible.

No. 2. Capture their character. Every animal has its own personality. Sometimes, they don't like to reveal it to strangers, so that's why it's important to capture it in photographs for your digital photo album. A great way to capture your pet's personality is by keeping their eyes in focus, and making their eyes the focal point of a photograph.

If you're cat always yawns after waking up from a nap, keep a camera handy and capture the moment. If they're the more playful type, bounce a ball or roll a piece of string in front of them and capture them hopping around, having fun.

No. 3. Capture them in a posed shot. Now, there's a time and place for doing silly human things with your pet - like dressing your dog up in pink ruffles or your cat in a studded collar - and when you do, make sure your camera is close at hand! Posed pictures can be great fun to look at years down the road. And most times, the pets don't mind the attention at all.

Another way to get a posed shot is right after a bath. Often, this is an unpleasant task for the both of you, but you can at least make it a little better for you by getting a picture of your pet all clean. Or, maybe you want to get a cute picture of your normally fluffy dog with his hair all matted down and wet.

Photos are such a wonderful way to share the joy of having a pet. You can show them anytime you want to relatives and friends. And when you have a digital photo album filled with wonderful photos, you'll keep the memories of your pet alive forever.

So keep these tips in mind next time you decide to take a photo of your pet - and remember to give them their favorite treat!

Canon WP-DC4 Waterproof Case for Canon SD600 Digital Camera

The Canon WP-DC4 Waterproof Case is specifically designed to protect your Canon PowerShot SD600 digital camera from sea water and sand. Reliable and easy to use, this case offers new shooting possibilities and it can help you realize the full potential of digital photography. Shooting great underwater pictures is simple. Your PowerShot camera has many features that are specially suited to the underwater environment. With the help of the WP-DC4 you can create brilliant underwater pictures at depth of up to 130 feet, even on your very first dive.
Customer Review: scubafying my canon
the case is just as i'd hoped and expected, and performed well out of the box. it does require some tedious inspection prior to use, but that task isn't difficult; user must inspect seals and lubricate them to ensure waterproofing. the only real downside is that it can only be used on this model of canon, and if i decide to upgrade my camera i will have to purchase another housing.
Customer Review: Very Nice
Works as advertised and nice hardy construction. Only downside is that it does not fit any of their other cameras. I decided to buy a 2nd cheap refurbished camera for $150 to get as much life out of this housing as possible since it is not likely my original camera will last much longer as it is now approaching 2 years of age.

With scenics, a major thrust is to make viewers wish they were there. Choose a view or subject you would like to look at 365 days a year. If you don't like the view or subject, chances are your customers won't either. Keep in mind that most buyers of Dcor Art enjoy pictures of pleasant subjects because they find in your pictures an 'escape' from the routine of everyday chores. That's why for this purpose it's important to take your scenics without people in them. Your viewers would like to imagine themselves strolling through the meadow or along the beach. They consider recognizable 'people' in your picture as an intrusion of their own quietude and privacy. In addition, if people are included in Dcor Art pictures, this can 'date' the picture due to the style of clothes, hairstyle, etc.

Nature close-ups are always a sure-seller. They rarely become out-dated: dandelion seeds, insects, birds, leaves, etc.

Art Dcor buyers tend to buy easily recognizable subjects. For example, an antique windmill would consistently sell better than a modern wind generator. Keep your Art Dcor simplified by isolating your subjects. (Feature only one at a time...rather than a group of something.)

Animals are always a popular subject -- usually wild ones; but also pets, domestic animals, dogs, cats, and horses.

Dramatic Landscapes are good bets, in all seasons, and especially with approaching storm clouds, complete with lightning.

Another area of Photo Dcor that is growing: abstracts. Abstracts
are finding favor for use in waiting rooms, attorneys' offices, professional buildings -- as well as homes.

Sports scenes lend themselves to game rooms and family playrooms; portraits (exotic or interesting faces) to legal suites; erotic subjects to private clubs; industrial scenes to manufacturing company offices.
It goes without saying -- your pictures should be well composed, visually exciting, and of high technical quality.

SOME POINTERS: Prices depend on whether you sell by volume, individually, or large format, to corporate clients. At art fairs, individual buyers will pay about $45 (11x14) and $30 (8x10). Before you decide on your own price, see what local department stores are getting.

Limited editions of prints are another issue. You can demand a higher fee. And, of course, if you keep a couple such prints for the grandchildren, your grandchildren just might become heirs to a very valuable print. What to charge for limited editions? Keep the professional artist in mind who once said, "If you are going to price your watercolor at $15, you'll find a $15 buyer. If you price it at $75 dollars, you'll find a $75 buyer. And if you price it at $850 -- you'll find a $850 buyer. Just takes time." Current going rate for a 16x20 (color) dcor photograph is between $75 and $150. PRINTLETTER (Zurich) lists international going rates as reported by galleries. Some samples: Eugene Smith: $750; Ben Shahn: $1500; George Silk: $1500; Aaron Siskin: $1200; Howard Sochurek: $950. Nice tidy sums?

B&W or Color? B&W prints sell well as Dcor Art, and particularly so if they are sepia toned. Color, however, has the edge over B&W. Shoot in transparencies rather than negative--for these three reasons:

1) You can project them effectively when you are demonstrating your subjects to a potential client;

2.) Processing lab technology can handle transparencies cheaper and more accurately than negs;

3.) As a stock photographer you'll also want to market your color through regular publishing channels --and most publishing markets require high-resolution digital images or transparencies.

Size - If you sell your prints on a single sales basis, you'll find the larger print (16x20) with higher fees will result in more year-end profit than trying to market larger numbers of the smaller prints (11x14 or 8x10) with the lower fees. On the other hand, if you go to multiple sales with smaller prints, and aim for the volume market in high traffic areas such as art and craft fairs or shopping malls, you will be equally successful with the smaller-sized prints.

Production. Resin-coated papers make B&W production on your own, very easy. Color production is usually best accomplished by a lab such as www.reedphoto.com. . Shop around. In New York, for example, an 11x14 costs $46 and a 16x20, $95. Quality is superb and the delivery is one day.

Frames. Framing or matting your prints definitely enhances appearance and saleability. Dry mounting materials and hinge mats are available everywhere. And finally, try making frames on your own. How-to series are often featured in photo and hobby and craft magazines. Consult the web for ideas and sources.

Promotion is the key to your selling success. If you've sold a series of prints to one bank in town, let the other banks know about your Dcor Art. Work for ways and places to exhibit your pictures often. Offer your services as a guest speaker or local TV talk show guest. Produce a website displaying your work; sell prints on e-Bay, produce brochures, flyers, or catalogs of your work.

Government agencies often buy groups of Dcor Art. Check out the Art for Buildings program in your state.

How to Take Action Shots - Digital Photography Tips

It can be really difficult to take pictures when there are objects moving like crazy. Action shots are hard. Sports photos, planes, cars, people running, it is all pretty hard to capture if you don't know some solid digital photography tips for how to photograph motion. This article will give you a basic understanding how to take these shots.

If you have an automatic camera then you're going to have a difficult time taking action shots properly. End of story. Hopefully, you will have some Preset settings like "sport" mode and the like. Other than that, you really have to just cross your fingers and hope your camera knows exactly what you want.

For most cameras, you do have the ability to manipulate some settings. This will give you more power over taking action photos. The most important thing to manipulate is the shutter speed.

Shutter Basics:

If you don't know, the shutter is what controls how long light is let into the camera. If you use a long shutter like 1/30 more light will be let in. The effects of this when taking fact action photos is that the motion is blurred. It can make for some cool shots with the object in motion blurred but everything else not.

A faster shutter speed like 1/500 does the opposite. It will let in light very quickly and result in shots with motion frozen. For example, you could take a picture of a car that swooshes by and to your eye seems like a blur. However, your camera will have captured that car in crisp clear detail.

The easiest way to use the shutter is to set your camera to shutter priority mode. This will let you set the shutter speed to your liking and the other settings are automatically set for you.

Opteka XL Remote Release Cord for Canon EOS 1D, 1Ds, 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, & 50D Digital Cameras (10 Foot Cord)

The new Opteka XL remote releases from Opteka allows the camera to be released from a distance of 10 feet (120"). All electronic, just plug-in and use. Has a momentary release, as well as a locking position for time releases.
Customer Review: Very Good Review
I like the remote release cord very much. The shipping time,(which is very important to me) was excellent!
Customer Review: Worked great for about 100 shots
Worked great with my D300 for about the first 100 shots, then started working intermittently. Apparently the cord broke near or at the end with the switch release. It has easy access to the wires so I will be cutting the wire short about 8" and solder the three wires back on the switch. I'm also going to order a better quality release and use this as a backup.

Photographers as well as artists know how competitive the visual arts field can be. In any given market all around the country, a quick browse in the Yellow Pages under "Photography" will show hundreds or even thousands of listings.

What makes a successful photographer different from someone struggling to stay afloat is a mix of skilled marketing, talent and the ability to offer products that are unique and better then the competition. As consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their demand for long lasting, brilliant prints with a different look compared to regular photo paper, canvas is one of the fastest growing media.

The reason for the high demand are pretty obvious when you see a skillfully made canvas (giclee) print. The canvas texture reveals brilliant, saturated colors. The canvas can be mounted and displayed without being under glass, therefore not causing any unwanted reflections. There is also a perceived added value to selling and buying a canvas photograph compared to a print made on cheap photographic paper.

The method used to print directly on canvas without any generational loss is called giclee: it is accomplished by using a high quality wide format pro level printer with archival inks. Archival inks are a key in print permanence. These inks are referred to as "pigment inks". Color pigments are encapsulated and then dissolved into a liquid medium to flow smoothly through inkjet nozzles. Typical resolution of these printers is 1440 to 2880 DPI (Dots Per Inch).

Another important factor is the selection of a suitable canvas to print on; the materials are no different than traditional canvas used for painting. Some canvas is a blend of synthetic and natural fiber, common referred as cotton/poly. What makes different canvas brands unique is the proprietary coating applied on top to receive and bind the pigments. It is important to select quality manufactured canvas. US as well as European manufacturers provide a wide variety of materials.

While some photographers have purchased the equipment to print canvas in house, many others prefer to outsource to giclee printing companies. In a fast changing technology, it is sometimes advisable to let professional printers deal with equipment that will require costly service contracts and become quickly obsolete.

Canvas needs to be finished with coating to prevent scuffing, a degree of water resistance as well as increased UV protection. Liquid lamination, sprays and low temperature vacuum presses are all acceptable methods. Never leave canvas without finishing. Although some manufacturers state their canvas does not need to be coated, I strongly advise lamination.

Finally, shop around when looking for a giclee printing provider. Prices vary tremendously and they are not always related to quality. Local as well as national companies offer canvas printing services with varying degrees of experience. Because this is such a specialized field, make sure you do as much research as you can and ask questions; a good printer will be happy to work with you to answer any questions.

Today kids are becoming fascinated with technology at much younger ages. Even toddlers and preschoolers want a digital camera of their own. Parents may wonder which is the best option for their child or if there is a kids digital camera that is rugged enough to take the abuse that young children often dish out. There are some great products out there that have great digital camera reviews. Here is a look at some of the top rated digital cameras for kids.

Fisher Price Digital Camera

The Fisher Price Digital Camera is made specifically for preschoolers and kids up to about age 7. It has large handles that are rubber for easy gripping. The tough design makes it hard to break and if kids drop it, it is no big deal. It has a 1.6" color LCD screen so that kids can see the pictures they have taken right away. It has 1.3 megapixels and 8MB of internal memory, enough for about 60 pictures. It also has a slot for an SD card. You can connect it to the computer with the USB cord so that they can share their pictures online. It has an auto flash feature and a wrist band. It also comes in either pink or blue. The digital camera reviews on this product are excellent. It runs about $55.

Vtech Kidizoom Camera

This is a great kids digital camera and the digital camera reviews support it. Parents rave that their kids love this camera. It has a connector cable that lets kids use it with the TV or the computer. It also has fun games and movies on it that kids love. It also has a neat editing feature that lets kids do wacky and fun things to their pictures. It has large handles for easy gripping, and a double viewer and LCD screen to make taking pictures a snap. It is a great preschool digital camera that, even though it is new, has already won several awards. The cost for this top rated kids digital camera is between $55 and $60.

These are the top two digital cameras for kids. Both are great products that have excellent digital camera reviews. Keep in mind that the picture quality is not going to be great because it is a kids digital camera. It is made to be durable, and both claim to be virtually indestructible. Either one of these cameras would be a great choice for a preschooler who loves to take pictures.

Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord (3 FT) - for Canon EOS Cameras & Speedlites - including Canon Digital Rebel XTi, XT, 5D, 30D & Powershot G7 (Canon Off Camera Shoe Cord 2 Equivalent)

The E-TTL Off-Camera Flash Extension Cord is an extremely useful accessory for Canon EOS series digital & 35mm film SLR cameras, allowing an external flash to be used away from the camera. The flash can be located as far as 3 feet away from the camera and still perform all the automatic functions possible with flash photography.

Using an off-camera flash provides the photographer with the flexibility to direct light from a variety of angles, allowing simple but effective fill lighting for balancing outdoor shots or hiding shadows under harsh indoor lights. An off-camera flash is also an effective primary light source when less direct lighting is desired.

Customer Review: One star more then it is worth
Recieved one of these as part of a kit. My canon 20d didn't even see a flash attached [430ex and 580exII] My 5d was able to fire the flashes but only in manual mode. Both worked perfectly when mounted directly to the camera, and when I went out and bought the Canon product they worked with it. I'm not sure what camera it works with, but obviously not these. Also very flimsy build, I was scared it would break off when the 580, which is heavy, was mounted. E-mailed Adorama twice, asking for a working replacement, with no reply, finally sent it back. I did get a refund from the company but no reply ever to my inqueries. THe e-mail anouncing the refund said "please e-mail us if we can help you in the future" - too bad they don't seem to be able to do that.
Customer Review: Good Product
This is my second purchase of this product. This item works as it should and is a good vale for the money. The only drawback is in it's construction. The neck of the Flash connection end is vulnerable. I used rubber washers to sure it up.

There are a lot of amateur as well as professional camera users who are shifting to digital models for much ease, convenience, and efficiency when taking initial pictures, taking more pictures after deleting some, and finally sharing photos to friends or storing them into the computer's memory.

Camera users are normally classified as hobbyists, novice, and professionals. To whichever category you belong, it is suggested that you ponder and accommodate the following basic information about digital cameras:

1.) Categories of a camera

Cameras can be grouped into:

a. ultra compact - no flash mode

b. prosumer or compact - for hobbyists

c. digital SLR cameras - have lenses, tripod, and external flashes; for professionals

If you want to master the art of photography, it is suggested that you master using the third category. Models that fall under this category are priced for their resolution, among other things.

2.) Mega pixels

Mega pixels can be classified into:

a. 3 mega pixels - for basic snapshots

b. between 3 and 5 mega pixels - images have good print quality

c. between 5 and 7 mega pixels - images can be easily manipulated; larger print sizes can be made

3.) Zoom

A camera's zoom is normally categorized into two:

a. optical zoom factor - what is distant appears closer by magnifying the light entering through the main lens

b. digital zoom factor - magnifies the resulting image

Quality photographs depend mostly on the optical zoom factor.

4.) Storage media

These are the some common storage formats:

a. Compact Flash (for compact and DSLRs)

b. Sony Memory Stick (compatible with other Sony appliances)

c. Smart Media

Storage sizes normally range from 64 K, which can store 3 dozen mega pixel images; 1G can store about 500 images with the same mega pixels

5.) Carrying case

You should keep the camera and its accessories in place.

6.) Tripod

Tripod can be used when setting the timer mode on and keeping the focus stable.

7.) Lenses and Filters

There are digital cameras that allow additional lenses to be attached to the main lens, or the lenses can be completely interchangeable.

Lenses can be categorized as follows:

a. macro lens - allows you to get closer to objects like insects and flowers

b. wide-angle lens - used for capturing landmarks, and large and wide sceneries

c. telephoto lens - allows longer zooms that let you get close to objects that are rather unsafe

Filters, on the other hand are used to:

a. soften the effect of the image

b. provide blurring on the edges for portraits that have sensitive moods

c. add light flares for the image to be more dramatic

d. to reduce glare so that pictures appear more saturated, crisp, and vivid.

Here are some basic strategies on how to capture an image:

1. Holding the camera

You should hold the camera steadily and keep your spare fingers from interfering with the lens. This skill usually takes a few practices.

2.) Focusing

To keep the camera from shuddering, it is better to half-press the camera until you are able to lock your view on the focus before completely pressing the button of the shutter.

You may also use a tripod for better focusing.

3.) Previewing

Customer Review: easier information on the camera than the manual
These videos are very thourough on explaining the use and setting up of the cameras. much easier than trying to read a manual and follow them. this Video explains the settings and what they are for and under what curcumstances you will need them. very good.
Customer Review: Very helpful book
This was a very helpful book. Had the pictures been in color, I think I would have given it 5 stars. The CD was helpful also. All in all except for only black and white pictures, and having to have a computer handy for a lot of things, it was a good book. Also the price was a bit steep for what I got.

You're not the only one trying to learn Digital Photography, my friend. I don't know about you, but I can still tell you that there are sure fire ways to learn and even become a pro in Digital Photography.

Your first question, I assume, is "HOW?".

Well, here are some easy tips you can use to start taking better pictures with your digital camera:

• Equipment - Get some better equipment, seriously. Your pictures will drastically improve if you get some better equipment. I mean things like better cameras, tripods, lighting and things like that. Tripods are great because your photos will always be completely "straight", if you know what I mean. No shaking or anything so they're never blurred out at all. This is especially true if you work outside taking pictures at night, it can be a real pain to get good and non-blurry photos.
• You're gonna hate me for this but... Practice. Believe me, in the long run the one thing that it all boils down to is practice. Sure, there are lots of great courses that will help you learn faster, but you're not going to get better at all if you don't practice.

It does not matter if you're 'on the right track' or not, if you just sit on your bum on the track, instead of running to become a world champion.

You know what I'm saying here? Good equipment and practicing with that equipment will go a long way for you, so the moral of the story is really to take action and do SOMETHING!

Speaking of cameras, you can find out how everyday ordinary people make six figure incomes, "working" from home with their digital camera.

Great compact camera bag. Pick a bright color and you can find it in even the deepest bag/purse. I've bought them for family to help them maintain their compact camera's pristine appearance. Because cameras are so small we really have to take better care of them, when they're not slung on our wrists put them in this case - it keeps the safe and has a mesh side that you can stash battery/extra cards in - though the mesh is not compact...so you'll need something else to hold what you are putting there - in otherwords its roomy for a camera case.

Remarkably compact and powerful, the Sony Cyber-Shot W110 Digital Camera will satisfy the needs of all users and is available in a choice of up-to-the-minute colour options. What's it like though?

This one stands out from the crowd with its clean lines and cool, contemporary looks while inside the sleek all-aluminium case, it is packed with the latest Sony technology to widen your creative options and guarantee even more fabulous memories. It features a rich camera with aluminium case with silver finish, and teams fantastic HD image quality with easy-to-use features.

Despite superb image quality and advanced shooting functions, the Sony CyberShot W110 is brilliantly simple to use capturing details in 1080 Full HD format, so picture quality, contrast and colour rendering are all superb. Yes, this is certainly built to impress, combining a 4X optical zoom lens with a 7.2 megapixel camera and also has a spectacular ISO sensitivity reaching ISO 3200 which reduces the effects of blur and allows you to take pictures in poorly lit conditions.

When I bought this for a family member I was amazed by the picture quality as I thought it would turn out to be the same as all the other mid-range cameras with decent picture quality but nothing special - but this camera really and truly is something special. The Sony developed BIONZ image processor inside the Sony W110 powers improved Face Detection Technology, now with even faster tracking plus the ability to recognise faces that are further from the camera.

The battery is precision-engineered and rigorously tested for voltage, capacity, compatiblity and safety to exceed original SONY Cyber-shot W110 battery manufacturer specifications. All the batteries have a full one year quality assurance & 30 days money back gurantee.

The Sony Cyber-Shot W110 Digital Camera is perfect for first-time photographers and seasoned users alike, with a useful on-screen function guide and Easy Shooting mode to make high quality image shooting simple. You will be amazed.

Canon Powershot Leather Neckstrap for S3 IS, S2 IS & S1 IS Digital Cameras

This durable neck strap is made of black leather and features the Canon logo in relief. The strap is lightly padded and with wide tapered ends for maximum comfort while supporting the camera's full weight. It's designed for Pro 1, S1 IS, S2 IS, G series Canon models.
Customer Review: Great camera strap!
I really like how comfortable and secure this strap feels around my neck. I also recommend anyone who gets the Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom get the camera case to protect and store their camera in.
Customer Review: Very comfortable
I had a moment of angst while attaching this strap: Would I look pretentious carrying a point and shoot camera around on a thick leather strap that looks like it was made for a professional grade DSLR? Well, this concern quickly evaporated when I actually started carrying the camera. The strap, apart from being beautifully made, is considerably more comfortable than the one that came with my S3 IS. Tucking such a big strap into a reasonably-sized camera bag can be a bit vexing, but if you like to keep your camera out and ready for action, this strap is definitely the way to go.

It is easy to make a good canvas photo print. You just upload the photo, pay the price and wait until your new photos on canvas are delivered. But if you want to make the perfect canvas print, you need to know a little about some technical issues. Do not worry though - it is not that complicated.

First of all you have to choose the right format, before you get your photos printed on canvas. The format of your photos has to match the format of the canvas.That means that if you like to buy a 30" x 40" size canvas photo, your photo has to be in the format 3:4 as well (or in other words the width must be 1.25 times the height).

The format varies among cameras. Most compact cameras shoot photos in the 3:4 format while SRL digital cameras shoot in a 2:3 format. Luckily many online photo dealers, who print canvas photos, provide online tools to check it automatically. If the photo format does not match the canvas size, you can crop the photo - if you not do it, it will be done automatically. But by doing it yourself, you have more control. Just remember that it is not a good idea to cut a head or a foot. If you have to do that to fit your photo on the canvas, it is probably better to choose another canvas format.

The next thing you have to think about is the size of the photo.If you print a photo in a standard photo size, the number of pixels does not really matters. But when it comes to printing photos on canvas, they do. To make big canvas photos, you need photos with high resolution (meaning a lot of pixels).If you only got a 2 megapixel camera, you can still get a good small-size canvas photo, but to get one of the bigger ones, you need a newer camera with much more pixels. With an 8 megapixels camera, you can have canvas photos in even the largest sizes.

The technical issues about Format and Size do also apply when printing normal photos. But the subject wraps is a special Canvas Photo issue.It is possible to buy your canvas photos rolled (like a poster), but normally you will have it wrapped around some kind of wooden bars.Basically there are two kinds of wraps: Museum Wraps and Gallery Wraps.

Museum wrap is the way the museums normally have their paintings hanging on the wall. The photo is printed on the canvas with a white area is added around it. When it is then stretched around the bars, the photo itself fills the front, while the sides and the back is just plain white canvas.

The museum wrap is a good solution, if you are planning to frame your canvas photo. And if important parts of the photo are near the edges, it is also a wise choice. It is also normally the wrap to choose, if your canvas photo is a reproduction of an original painting.

The big difference between the museum wrap and the gallery wrap is that in a gallery wrapped canvas, there is not added an extra white area. Instead the border of the canvas photo is wrapped around the edges, so the print extends around the sides of the canvas. The gallery wrap is perfect, if you are planning to hang your canvas photo without a frame. Just remember that it works best, if there is no important part of the photo in the edge part.

That is it. You do not have to learn more technical stuff to get a perfect canvas photo. Just remember to choose the right format (or crop your photo), the right size and the most suitable wrap type.

Certain family heirlooms call for careful preservation. Photographs of your family, including baby and wedding pictures, are all to be cherished for many years. Airborne pollutants, along with the deterioration that comes with time, all play a role in the destruction of your valuable family photographs and artwork. This is why many artists and art lovers alike choose photo storage that includes archival storage boxes, archival photo paper and archival fine art paper. These, along with clear bags, can help to preserve the things that matter the most to you.

We can all take a cue from museums and art galleries that display pieces of fine art. It is in both of their best interests to preserve works of art for perpetuity. They know the secrets and tricks for keeping artwork looking its best for years into the future, and these tips are readily available for avid home artists to also use and enjoy on their own artwork.

Photo storage is a primary motivation for using archival storage boxes and archival photo paper when processing photographs. Photographs, which are processed with a variety of chemicals, do not handle exposure to airborne pollutants and ultraviolet rays well at all. Both of these deteriorate the surface of the photograph, and then you are left with nothing but a memory of what was once captured pristinely on film. With framed pictures, acid free mount board is a wise choice to help increase the long life of your artwork. Foamcore mount board, if archival quality, has the ability to take in airborne pollution particles that can have a damaging effect on pictures.

Acids are another major problem that, over time, can cause a great deal of damage to all types of artwork, including photographs. The dyes used in photographs are not improved when exposed to acids. In fact, this is one of the major causes of the deterioration of the images of photographs, and one reason why professional photographers choose to use photo storage that provides an acid-free environment for important photos.

Archival tissue paper also has a place in photo storage. Archival papers are acid free, and thus eliminate the problems associated with papers made from pulp that contain various acids that are harmful to photographs. Separating photos with acid-free papers can keep them free from the damaging effects that are associated with acids in combination with chemicals used in photography. These papers are also useful for other applications, such as wrapping clothing items for storage.

Photo storage takes a prominent place in your consideration when you are talking about pictures from a wedding or a graduation or some other big, once in a lifetime event that cannot be recreated. This is when you will want to use every safe method of photo storage to preserve your photographic memories.

Customer Review: Does the job, doubts about longevity
Got an identical set on eBay from the source in China for $25, free shipping. Pro: works! The receiver uses AAA batteries, easy to find. Con: not build to last. Using duck-tape to keep things together might not be a stretch in the future. The controller uses an odd size battery, maybe expensive to replace. The controller doesn't have a on/off switch. So I take the battery out when not in use. Look on eBay and it's not hard to find. I am not a seller or in anyway related to the seller(s).
Customer Review: Works as advertised AND WILD FUN
This tiny little thing works very well. Used it on a Canon 20D and a 40D. Those who experienced dead batteries on arrival, I wonder if they noticed the near-invisible, ultra-thin hard plastic one of the batteries was wrapped in. I too, thought the battery was dead, until, a little upset, I finally noticed the thin layer of shiny plastic over the contacts. The silly stuff covered the whole battery; and so tightly, you don't even notice it's there, and it doesn't prevent the battery from being inserted!

Images produced by digital cameras now rival the quality of our finest photographic film stocks. But the nature of a digital image shares almost nothing in common with the analog image captured in a film emulsion.

An image captured in film is an incredibly complex physical object that has a life of its own, and can be interpreted directly by inspection with the human eye. A digital image, on the other hand, is an electronic representation of a scene - a sequence of numbers specifying red, green, and blue light intensities that requires some form of software to render it into a visual form that can be displayed on a suitable imaging device, like a photo-printer.

When an image is captured digitally, it is done with a mosaic of light-sensitive electronic pixels. These pixels are actually independent square-shaped photodiodes which are arranged in the form of a large tiled surface. Well, large from the point of view of a single pixel, since if we were to enlarge the pixel to the size of a kitchen floor tile, then the area covered by the entire image sensor would be about the same as that of a football stadium.

A typical medium-resolution digital camera might have about 4000 electronic pixels arrayed along one edge of its image sensor, and about 2500 along the other, making for around 10 million pixels overall. The image sensor in this case would be said to have a 10 megapixel resolution.

Now, when an image is recorded electronically, what each pixel on the sensor measures is the amount of energy the light imparts to it during the photographic exposure. Or in simpler terms, the brightness of the light. This large array of numbers is known as the RAW format of the image. It is, in effect, the digital equivalent of the film negative (or positive in the case of slide film), since it carries ALL the information associated with the exposure.

As it happens, you cannot simply interpret these RAW image records in a color-by-the-numbers type fashion. If you were to assign the color and brightness of each pixel to a corresponding printed pixel on a piece of photographic paper, or on a computer screen, you would not see a pleasing representation of the scene that was photographed.

The reason for this is that the way our eyes respond to color brightness is different than the way electronic pixels respond to it. Our eyes are less responsive to large changes in brightness than are electronic pixels. The RAW numbers need to be processed in a way that compensates for this difference.

What this means is that a lot of number crunching needs to be performed to get the best result from our RAW image before it is printed in any form. This might be done inside the camera if you want to immediately see a preview of the result on your camera's LCD screen. Or it might be done using complex image processing software on your PC, once you have downloaded the image. Until then, the RAW image needs to be stored for later use.

Unfortunately, in the race to conquer the digital photography landscape, digital camera manufacturers adopted a first-to-build is first-to-dominate philosophy and created their own proprietary versions of the RAW image format. A Canon RAW image, therefore, is formatted differently than a Nikon RAW image for the exact same image. Due to the proliferation of RAW formats, image processing software now has to cope with hundreds of competing RAW image formats. In practice this is just not possible, so your imaging processing software (if it comes from a vendor other than your camera manufacturer) is likely to support only the major RAW formats, like for example Nikon's NEF format, Canon's CR2 format, and Fuji's RAF format.

This situation is likely to improve in time, however. Adobe has entered the digital imaging fray by publishing an open standard for a RAW image format that it calls Digital Negative, or DNG. Slowly, camera manufacturers, like Hasselblad, Leica, Ricoh, and Samsung are building DNG support into their cameras, and with luck the larger players in the field will follow suit.

What this means, assuming that a standard such as DNG is adopted, is that when a photographer captures an image, stores it in RAW format, and then forgets about it for 10 years, they won't discover, when they get around to retrieving it again, that their image format has been obsoleted and there is no longer any software that can render the file into a viewable and printable image. For large corporations with millions of archived images to preserve, this kind of problem represents a logistic nightmare, and it is very costly to stay on top it.

In the long run, a standardized RAW format will ensure archival integrity of images, reduce headaches for unwary photographers the world over, and save them both time and money. DNG support is currently available in Adobe software packages such as Photoshop, and Photoshop Elements, and will likely migrate to third party image software packages as the standard is embraced. Adobe also offers a free Digital Negative Converter from its site which allows forward-thinking photographers to convert their existing RAW image format files into a DNG version as well.

As has been mentioned, software is needed to convert a RAW format image into one that can be displayed and printed. This is analogous to the "development" process for negative film. The most common image display format is JPEG (which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group). The JPEG format is one that can support a great deal of compression, so that the final viewable image is substantially smaller in size (number of bytes) than the RAW image file. This means it can be sent on to others easily, via email for example. The JPEG format is also an industry standard image format, so the file can be opened and read by all commercial image processing software and a large number of open source image software packages.

Another standard image format is TIFF. However, TIFF file sizes are generally much larger than those for the equivalent JPEG image, so they are used mostly by professionals who need to produce large print reproductions with high resolution. In fact, the DNG standard is based on a version of TIFF.

Various image processing algorithms are applied to RAW images to convert them into printable form. This includes performing white balancing, which is the means by which an unwanted overall color cast is removed from the image. When a color cast is present, a photographed all-white object will render with an off-white component that subtracts from image fidelity. The RAW image stored by your digital camera will likely have a record of the white balancing correction used when the image was created, but you are free to adjust this when editing the image derived from the RAW format.

It is important to appreciate that when you are trying to the create the best possible printable image, you need to start with the original RAW image file. Once a printable version has been created, such as a JPEG version, the applied image processing algorithms have "tossed out" a great deal of image information that was deemed unnecessary. These lossy operations are irreversible, and they limit your remaining options for tinkering with the image should you decide that the result is not quite what you are after. The solution is to return to the RAW format file and start over.

Because the differences in file sizes are so great, if you are not concerned with collecting RAW image files and processing them for the perfect image at a later date, you should consider allowing your camera to create JPEG images as the default, and ignore the RAW format altogether. This will improve the responsiveness of your camera, because you do not have to store the large RAW images to your memory card. If, for example, you are photographing a sports event, your frame-rate when shooting in the continuous mode will be greatly improved. Also, you will be able to record a much higher number of images to your memory card before it fills up.

On the other hand, if you will be photographing something of importance, do consider the implications of not using the RAW format to record your images. You might regret it later.

Before rushing off to buy that premium photo paper so you can have your digital photos in hand, there are a few things to know when preparing for a digital print. It can be as simple as "upload and print". But, if you want the maximum quality, clearest resolution, and the most vibrant and true colors, follow these tips used by professional photographers and graphic artists every time they print.

First off, you may have seen the 2 acronyms, ppi and dpi. Many people confuse them to be the same thing. They do roughly share the same principle (defining the resolution of your photos) but are used in totally different stages of the photography or printing process.

Ppi stands for pixels per inch. You can think of this as the input unit, or how many pixels are captured by your camera's sensor when taking a picture. If you have a low ppi, you can raise the dpi all you want but you'll still have a very small picture. And should you choose to enlarge the photo, it will be very grainy and blurry, also known as pixelated.

Pixelation happens when there are not enough pixels in the image to represent every color and line; therefore, you get a mosaic, blotchy look. When the resolution is even the slightest bit low like this, the lines aren't as smooth as they should be.

This is where camera quality matters because the more pixels in the photo, the more flexibility you have with the size and resolution. The better the input, the better the outcome.

Dpi on the other hand is a part of the output process. It stands for dots per inch. This refers back to an old printing process. If you've ever looked at a magazine page with a magnifying glass (or maybe you should now to help you understand), you would have seen all the tiny dots used to compose the image. Going back to the basics of art and design, it is taught that a line is really just a series of points arranged in a continuous pattern. So therefore, everything you see is essentially a dot.

This brings me to the next focus, if there are not enough dots in each square inch, your photo, again, will have a low resolution and look grainy. Some of the colors may be inaccurate as well because there are not enough actual dots to represent each element and color in your image.

There are standards in the printing and graphic design world to give you great starting points when printing your hi-res photos. The industry standard used for any print work, magazines, brochures, etc. is 300 dpi.

Images that will be viewed within say, 2 feet or less need to have a higher dpi as well as if they are printed on a high gloss paper, like brochures, magazines, and postcards. Images that will be hung on a wall or put in display, viewed further away, can have a lower dpi of 150 because they won't be seen close enough to need a great amount of detail. This is also the case if the image is printed on matte or semi-gloss paper because the rougher texture is more forgiving than a smooth high-gloss paper.

If you decide to get your photos professionally printed, all this will be done for you and your photos will have superb resolution. However, if you choose to print them on your own, you now have the all the secrets of the trade so you too can have high resolution, high quality, and beautifully vibrant photos like the pros.

Ever bought a camera for 1,000? No, nor me. I think the Hasselblad is slightly out of my league. Some folk just want a really good camera with lots of features, good quality photographs and a pretty little price tag. Well, take a look at the Kodak Easyshare C713 Digital Camera. It might just be what you're looking for.

This one has 7 megapixels together with a 3x optical zoom for taking photos in large format without any loss in quality, and it has 16MB of built in memory. Selling for under 60, you really won't have to spend a fortune to get a great quality, easy to use camera, that's packed with superb features.

At about 5" long and about 3" wide with the lens extended, the Kodak EasyShare C713 comes with ISO sensitivity settings up to 1250 and has 16 scene modes plus image stabilization for that crystal clear clarity you always want. In addition to that you can also shoot QuickTime movies with a resolution of up to 640 x 480 which is pretty good for a camera with this price tag.

The Kodak C713 comes with lots of built in photo enhancing features such as digital image stabilization, a high ISO, HD still capure and Kodak's own Perfect Touch technology to name a few. You will be able to achieve the perfect shot with additional features such as cropping and even blurry picture alert! Later you can view your photos on the 2.5 inch LCD screen. Perfect.
