Canon PowerShot A480 Camera Reviewed

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 06:02:00 -0700

The Canon PowerShot A480 (US$130) is an entry level point-and-shoot compact digital camera. Features:

10 Megapixels 2.5-inch TFT color LCD 3.3x optical zoom ISO 80 to 3200 SD, SDHC, MMC memory card slot Battery: AA x2 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (mini-B jack) NTSC/PAL video out Weight: 4.94 ounces Dimensions: 2.44 x 3.63 x 1.22 inches

InfoSync World gave the A480 a 63% (‘Good’) rating: “When we think of an entry-level compact, we tend to think “cheap”, “amateurish” and “inadequate.” That’s from the eyes of an advanced shooter. However, the 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot A480 will impress a wide array of consumers. It’s a little powerhouse stocked with some burly manual controls, a great menu system, and it flaunts an eccentric new body design available in fetching two-tone color combinations. The PowerShot A480 matched the PowerShot A1100 IS in many image performance tests, though its lack of Image Stabilization led to a loss of focus in low light. The zoom is tiny, the LCD is basic and external controls are minimal, but all of the magic lies on the inside of the PowerShot A480. If you’re a beginner on a budget, the Canon PowerShot A480 is one of the best options out there.” [InfoSync World | Canon PowerShot A480]

I noticed that Canon changed the form factor of its A400 series this time, and it’s looking good! If you need a fun camera that is relatively inexpensive, takes SD/SDHC memory cards, and is powered by AA batteries, the PowerShot A480 won’t disappoint. Be sure to take a look at good quality rechargeable AA batteries and a smart fast charger also. These will help you enjoy your new A480 (or any AA battery power camera) to the fullest.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Reviewed

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:56:00 -0800

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II (US$2,700 body only) is a digital SLR camera that updates the previous 5D. Features:

21.1 megapixels Canon EF lens mount (does not support EF-S lenses) DIGIC 4 image processor RAW / JPEG / RAW + JPEG / sRAW1, sRAW2 file formats AF micro adjustment 3.0 ” 920k pixels TFT LCD Live TTL display of scene from CMOS image sensor Movie Recording:

Continuous drive mode: 3.9 fps Connectivity:

Lithium-Ion LP-E6 rechargeable battery (supplied & charger) Full 35mm size frame Magnesium alloy body Dimensions: 152 x 114 x 75 mm Weight: 810 g (without battery)

Digital Photography Review gave the Canon EOS 5D Mark II a ‘Highly Recommended’ rating: “How do you follow a classic? That’s the question Canon faced when it got to work producing a successor to the EOS 5D. The original 5D was the first ‘affordable’ and lightweight (in relative terms) full frame camera, and set a standard for low noise at high ISO settings that remains competitive three years later. … Canon hasn’t just taken the 5D Mark I and put a new sensor in it. There are many little improvements that make this camera more than just an updated EOS 5D. There is the new menu system, the implementation of Live View, the sensor shake anti-dust system, the larger and higher resolution screen, a higher capacity battery, and extra customizability. … he 5D Mark II is certainly one of the best value for money propositions on the market for image quality - especially in RAW, where you really can see the benefit of all 21 million pixels. Canon has also wisely made only minor tweaks to the external interface, so that 5D users can jump right in and feel at home. Looking at the package as a whole the EOS 5D Mark II seems hard to beat.” [dpreview.com | Canon EOS 5D Mark II In-depth Review]

Current 5D users looking to get a new camera would definitely be pleased with the 5D Mark II. Those who wants to upgrade to a full frame, and are already using Canon EF lenses, will surely benefit from the nice set of features the 5D Mark II offers.

Super Zoom Compact Camera Group Test

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:17:00 -0800

Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) tested another seven compact cameras that belong to the ‘Super Zoom’ range. These are digicams that sport 14.7x to 20x optical zoom. Super Zoom Compacts Tested:

Canon Powershot SX10 IS – 10MP, 20x zoom, 2.5” display, $350
Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD - 10MP, 14.7x zoom, 2.7” display, $270
Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd - 10MP, 18x zoom, 2.5” display, $250
Nikon Coolpix P80 – 10.1MP, 18x zoom, 2.7” display, $340
Olympus SP-565UZ - 10MP, 20x zoom, 2.5” display, $300
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 – 10.1MP, 18x zoom, 2.7” display, $325
Sony Cybershot DSC-H50 – 9.1MP, 15x zoom, 3” display, $350

The cheapest was the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd, while the most expensive were the Canon Powershot SX10 IS and Sony Cybershot DSC-H50. The winners of the group test were the Canon Powershot SX10 IS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28: “I mentioned earlier that three cameras consistently outperformed the rest of the group. Of these three the Sony H50 lost marks for its smaller zoom range, fiddly controls and tiny, low resolution viewfinder (it also has the most destructive noise reduction and least effective image stabilization of the trio), leaving the Canon SX10 IS and Panasonic FZ28 vying for the top spot. … the SX10 IS may win on points, but the FZ28 puts up quite a fight, and is the one we’d pick up when going for a walk and didn’t fancy carrying an SLR. Two very impressive cameras; all the more so considering their sub-$350 price ticket, and both easy recommendations.” [dpreview | Compact Camera Group Test Group 5: SLR-like ’super zoom’ cameras]

Some may ask, “What do I need a digicam that has super zoom?”. Well, these are very handy for taking photos during a school play, sport activity, or any event that limits you to take pictures at a distance. If you ever took some pictures of your kid/nephew/niece on the stage during a school presentation held in a large venue, you’d know what I mean. So, if you need a super zoom compact camera, your best choices would be the Canon Powershot SX10 IS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. Technorati: super zoom digital compact camera Tags: camera

Enthusiast Digital Compact Camera Group Test

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:07:00 -0800

Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) reviewed 7 digital compacts that belong to the enthusiast group, or the Prosumer range. These appeal to people who are a little more serious with photography, but would want to have something more portable than an SLR. The cameras tested were:

Canon Powershot G10 – 14.7MP, 80-1600 ISO, 3.0” screen, $430
Kodak Easyshare Z8612 IS – 8.1MP, 80-3200 ISO, 2.5” screen, $150
Nikon Coolpix P6000 – 13.5MP, 64-6400 ISO, 2.7” screen, $430
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 – 10.1MP, 80-6400 ISO, 3.0” screen, $430
Ricoh Caplio R10 - 10MP, 80-1600 ISO, 3.0” screen, $240
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 – 9.1MP, 100-6400 ISO, 3.0” screen, $240
Canon Powershot SX110 IS - 9MP, 80-1600 ISO, 3.0” screen, $220

The most inexpensive in the group was the Kodak Easyshare Z8612 IS, while the most expensive ones were the Canon Powershot G10, Nikon Coolpix P6000, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The overall winner of the group test was the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3: “The Panasonic LX3 gets so many things right that we knew before we started it would be the camera to beat in this group. It’s not that it has the highest measurable resolution (the Canon G10 wins that one) or the biggest zoom range (in fact its one of the smallest here), or even that it offers the most intuitive controls (never going to be the case with a camera so small). No, what’s so impressive about the LX3 is that Panasonic has actually produced a camera aimed at photographers, not one designed by a marketing department. So instead of going for the easy option of adding even more megapixels and beefing up the other headline specs, the designers concentrated on the things that actually matter to a photographer.’ [dpreview | Compact Camera Group Test Group 4: Enthusiast digital compacts]

Aside from the overall winner, dpreview.com highly recommends the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and Canon Powershot SX110 IS: “These two cameras are so close in performance that choosing between them becomes a matter of personal taste and preference. The TZ5 is our favorite because it offers a proper wideangle, a better screen and slightly better high ISO performance, but the SX110 has better manual control and considerably more telephoto pulling power. They’re both well priced, well designed and genuinely pocketable, and neither demands too much of an image quality compromise despite squeezing 10x zooms into their diminutive bodies.” [dpreview]

If you are longing for a compact camera that can do some serious photography, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 would be a great choice for around $430. If want something more affordable, lets say in the sub $250 range, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and Canon Powershot SX110 IS cameras would be your second best choices.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Camera Reviewed

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:35:00 -0800

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (US$380) is an ultra-slim digital camera that has the following features:

10.1 megapixels
3.5-inch touchscreen LCD display
4GB internal memory
Memory Stick Duo / Memory Stick Pro Duo memory expansion slot
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens
4X optical zoom
Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization
Auto / 80 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 ISO
LITHIUM ION / InfoLITHIUM D type 3.6V battery
Dimensions: 95.0 x 58.4 x 16.4 mm
Weight: 135g

“The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is a solid shooter with plenty of appeal. The big touch-screen LCD makes interacting with the camera a pleasure, and it has plenty of cool (if unnecessary) extras, like in-camera editing and various modes like smile and blink detection. Keep in mind, however, that with its shutter lag you might miss some photo ops, and with its power-sucking screen, battery life isn’t as long as with other point-and-shoot cameras. Overall, though, the T700 delivers in the most critical way a camera can: It takes good, sharp pictures with a minimum of noise and a maximum of rich, realistic colors.” [PCMag.com | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700]

The T700 was a runner-up on dpreview.com’s Ultra Compact Group test. Nice overall design, great image quality, responsive touchscreen display, and 4GB internal memory are the great features of the T700. If you don’t mind the rather short battery life, standard resolution video recording, and the high price, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is a very nice digital camera to consider.

Motorola Zine ZN5 Cameraphone Reviewed

The Motorola Zine ZN5 (US$100 with T-Mobile contract) is a mobile phone that has the following features:

bar form factor
5 megapixel camera, with Kodak lens, autofocus, xenon flash, video (15fps)
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / EDGE network
2.4-inch 240 x 320 TFT display (256K colors)

MP3/WMA/eAAC+ player
FM radio
voice memo
Linux OS
dimensions: 118 x 50.5 x 12-16 mm
weight: 114 g

“The Motorola Zine is a phone that would be a good replacement for your low-end point-and-shoot camera, and that’s the nicest compliment you can pay a cameraphone. It’s a good phone, a pretty good camera, and a surprisingly capable multimedia and Web browsing device. The camera takes real, good-quality pictures, helped along by some agile post-processing, and we even enjoyed the full-size 8 by 10 inch prints we made directly from the device. Kodak et al. don’t quite deliver on their promise of easy uploading, and we had trouble sending and managing our pics, probably caused by the phone’s buggy OS, which was sluggish some times, and completely unresponsive at others. Still, if you can manage your own pics, and you’re looking for a casual shooter that’s also a fine phone, the Motorola Zine is a great choice.” [InfoSync World | Motorola Zine review]

Need a mobile phone with a camera that takes good-enough-to-print pictures? The Motorola Zine ZN5 could give you that, and more – good multimedia and web browsing functions with Wi-Fi. IceRocket: motorola zn5 kodak cameraphone Tags: camera phone

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:49:00 -0700

The Sony A200 (US$499 with 27-105mm kit lens) is a digital SLR camera that has the following features:

2.7″ LCD display
10.2 megapixels
9 AF Points
100-3200 ISO Range

552g weight

“Put it all together and you won’t find a better value for your $499 than the Sony A200 kit with the 18-70mm kit lens. The kit lens itself even covers a wider 27-105mm equivalent range than competing entry models, which are 18-55mm lenses. This is all predicated on one significant caveat, and that is that the A200 does not have any form of Live View. … If Live View is an important feature for you then you definitely need to choose another entry camera like the capable Canon XS. If you want fast Live View our advice would be to move to the Sony A300 at $599 or the A350 at $799.” [AnandTech | Sony A200: The Value Leader?]

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Vignetting control in-camera
72 thumbnail and calendar view in playback
dimensions: 132 x 103 x 77 mm
620g weight w/out battery

Digital Photography Review gave the D90 very high marks on Features, Ergonomics & handling, and Performance (speed), and its “Highly Recommended” award as well: “The D80 was a very well respected camera, offering a feature set that seemed perfectly tailored to the enthusiast market - the D90 builds on this by including many of the options from the D300. The automatic Chromatic Aberration correction is just one example - without ever having to think about it, it instantly improves the results of every JPEG, regardless of the lens used. Picking the images apart to find differences between cameras reveals it’s not quite a half-price D300 but that was a camera we described at the time as being best semi-professional digital SLR on the market, setting the bar pretty high. After using and testing the D90 extensively, it’s hard to think of a better enthusiast-level camera.” [dpreview.com | Nikon D90 Review]

If you’ve been holding back on the D80, the D90’s addition of HD video capability might finally convince you to let go of 13 C-notes. IceRocket: nikon, d90, dslr Tags: camera

Canon PowerShot A1000 IS Camera Reviewed

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 03:31:00 -0700

The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS (US$199) is a digital camera that has the following features:

compact point-and-shoot
10 megapixels
4x optical zoom
2.5” LCD display
image stabilization
face recognition
uses AA batteries
USB 2.0 interface
video record and playback support
video out
dimensions: 2.46 x 3.76 x 1.22 inches
155g

CNET Asia gave it 7.6 out of 10 (“Very Good”): “The PowerShot A1000 IS is competitively priced at S$319, and it is more affordable than other entry-level point-and-shoots such as the Olympus FE-320 and Fujifilm FinePix J50, which are both retailing for about S$359 (US$252.32). If you require more zoom and a larger screen, Canon is offering the PowerShot A2000 IS, which has 6x optical zoom and a 3-inch LCD. We had a good time with the A1000 IS, but were wishing for wide-angle optics most of the time. Taking pictures was a breeze, especially in Easy Mode and we reckon this camera will go down well with beginners.” [CNET Asia | Canon PowerShot A1000 IS]

PC Magazine gave it a 4 out of 5 (“Very Good”), and its Editor’s Choice award: “The Canon PowerShot A1000 greatest threats come from the aforementioned Kodak EasyShare V1073 and M1033. Both models are thinner, use rechargeable batteries, and capture HD video, for about the same price. What these other two don’t offer is the image quality and ease of use that come with the A1000 IS. This entry-level camera excels at the basics: dead-simple “Easy Mode” shooting, sharp images, and speedy performance, all at a very palatable price, so it easily earns our Editors’ Choice for best low-cost point–and-shoot model.” [PCMag.com | Canon PowerShot A1000 IS]

If you can do with the rather “bulky” form factor, the absence of a wide-angle lens, and the use of AA batteries, the will be a nice point-and-shoot camera for you. If you are more of a video guy or gal, the Koday EasyShare V1073 or M1033 might be a better choice. IceRocket: canon, powershot, a1000, 10mp Tags: camera
