Sony bumps up its point-and-shoot cameras to a new height of resolution with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300, the company's first 13.6-megapixel snapshot camera. This follow-up to last year's 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W200 bears some of the most impressive features found in Sony's W-series of compact cameras, along with one of the line's heftiest price tags yet.
The W300 includes an impressive set of features under its shiny, titanium-coated casing. Its 35 to 105mm-equivalent f/2.8-5.8 lens seems fairly standard, but its 2.7-inch LCD screen and optical viewfinder give it surprising flexibility compared with most snapshot cameras. Like other Cyber-shot W-series cameras, the W300 includes a face detection system that Sony claims can distinguish between adult and children's faces and--using the Smile Shutter mode--automatically take pictures when subjects smile. It also lets users share their photos with an on-board slide show with customizable MP3 soundtracks, includes in-camera photo search, and can output to HDTVs.
Besides the high resolution, the W300 packs one distinguishing feature that sets it apart. Unlike virtually every other point-and-shoot camera on the market, the W300 includes an adjustable noise reduction setting. Users will be able to choose whether the camera will use "low," "standard," or "high" noise reduction, determining how much it processes each shot to reduce noise. This feature is particularly useful with the W300's 13.6 megapixel, 1/1.7-inch sensor; noise tends to increase significantly when more and more pixels are crammed onto smaller and smaller sensors. If you have a lot of noise in a picture, like when you're shooting at high sensitivity levels, you might want a more zealous noise reduction process. On the other hand, if you're shooting at a low ISO setting, you might want to scale back the noise reduction so it doesn't hurt fine details. This new setting is a welcome addition to snapshot cameras, which generally restrict you to the camera's noise reduction whims.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 ships in May, with a suggested retail price of $350.

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.

Do people actually buy cameras because they think it enhances their image? With a name like Coolpix, apparently the good folks at Nikon seem to think so. The million dollar question here though, is whether buying a Nikon Coolpix S51 Digital Camera will allow you to take cool pictures like the name suggests. I suspect not, but lets take a look anyway.
One of the nice things about ultra compact cameras like the S51, is their portability. Being able to reach into a pocket quickly, grab your camera and snag a picture at a moments is a nice feature. If it works. Don't count on catching many of those candid moments with a Coolpix. It tends to take a few seconds to start up once you've powered it up, followed by another few seconds after you've squeezed the shutter button. Hopefully your subjects are slow (translation... not kids), and don't go scurrying off the second they see a camera in your hand.
Nikon, must know that the S51 is going to be carried around in all kinds of strange places. Pants pockets full of dust and beach sand, backpacks along with your paper clip collection, and car consoles right beside all your loose dimes and nickels. You'd think, they'd make the Coolpix LCD a little more durable for these hostile environments. Especially since there's no viewfinder, and your stuck staring at a scratched up LCD to frame all your photos.
Megapixels and LCD's screens seem to be the big selling point these days with manufacturers. If only more consumers realized that too many megapixels result in noisy pictures, especially with an ultra-compact camera that have such a small image sensor to start with. While bigger LCDs may seem cool, they're just a killer on batteries. I swear that little Energizer Bunny is subsidizing the camera manufacturers big LCD hype, just to ensure he stays employed forever. I'd gladly exchange a 3 inch LCD for a 2 inch one, if it meant I got 30% more pictures, and a viewfinder thrown in as a backup.
Just for good measure, here's a couple other shots to the body of the Nikon Coolpix S51:
- hard to hold onto, power switch too easy to press accidentally
- LCD display is very grainy
- door to battery and memory card is fragile and hard to open
- no auto presets dial
- photos under florescent lighting have greenish tinge
If honesty in advertising was applied to cameras the way it was to cigarettes, we'd have some pretty interesting warning labels on camera packaging. "Warning... this camera may make you a bad photographer". "Warning... pictures in LCD are grainier then they appear". "Warning... buying a Coolpix camera will not make you seem cool to your friends". Unfortunately you won't find those out in the real world, but at least you've been warned here first. There are of course plenty of better cameras out there, and not too far from here.
The Nikon Coolpix S52 digital camera receives 5 stars in an independent web based rating system, this rating is based on a total of 3 detailed reviews since its launch earlier this year. The users who offer their comments have genuinely purchased the product and after using it have been bold enough to award a 5 star rating (out of five stars)
In my experience buying a camera is as simple as asking the right questions and reading the right reviews. Comparing apples with apples is also a difficult manoeuvre if you're not quite sure about the many different functions of the Coolpix S52. As a regular point and shoot compact digital camera the S52 really does hit the mark. Offering 9.0 megapixel resolution, 3 x optical zoom, 3.0 inch high resolution lcd screen, Nikons patented VR optical image stabilization, ISO 3200 capability and Nikon Pictmotion enhancements.
Of course you can go to the Nikon, website but you're not going to receive an unbiased view, what the internet needs is a more democratic way of selling professional digital cameras to the consumer, and the review site aforementioned offers just that.
The price of the S52 is in the range of $250 and offers practical and advanced functionality in today's fast moving digital age, consumers demand more for their spend at this range and they are certainly getting it with this model. The S52 offers more in this price range than most other compact camera manufacturers' offer for $100 more, so this little beauty is a highly recommended buy.
COOLPIX in-camera technologies give you the edge when it comes to taking beautiful pictures more easily and with greater enjoyment. Included are innovative functions that increase shooting opportunities in a broader range of situations, help to optimize images, and add a new dimension of fun to sharing those results.
taking the whole Coolpix range into consideration the incorporated features of the S52 are no different to models that are featured higher in the price range, for example...
VR image stabilization
Nikon COOLPIX cameras offer a choice of VR technologies that produce blur-free images when shooting in unsteady conditions or at slower shutter speeds. Selected models are equipped with one of two types of Optical VR systems: Lens Shift VR which delivers sharp and steady images effective for shooting and faster framing with the LCD, or Image Sensor Shift VR which moves the image sensor to accurately compensate for camera shake. Other models offer Electronic VR which applies movement data to image processing to turn blurred images into beautifully clear results.
Pictmotion - In-camera slideshow with music
So much more than a slideshow, Pictmotion lets users share the fun of photography in a more creative, more entertaining way. Users simply select a range of their favourite images and movies, pick a visual style and choose from up to five pre-installed soundtracks or load up to ten new ones to suit the mood*. The camera then produces a Pictmotion movie automatically, with pace and transitions determined by music and style ready for viewing anytime, anywhere on the camera's large, bright LCD.
Face-priority AF
Available only with Nikon COOLPIX cameras, the clever Face-priority AF function helps ensure satisfyingly crisp portraits no matter where the subject is in the shot. By automatically detecting people's faces in the frame, the photographer is free to press the shutter for sharp portraits with focus exactly where it's wanted.
There are many more features to the S52 and the S52c (which offers wireless connectivity for easy transfer of data and images!) Unfortunately this article is too short to detail the full functionality and scope of customer review...Imagine a site that offers unbiased advice and technical information which is voted up or down by the user / visitor, a facility that aggregates information and gives you a clear indication of the preferred direction of your investment. What a great idea...check out the coolpix s52 reviews...

Digital cameras, also known as filmless cameras are one of the most intelligent inventions of late. Because before digital cameras, even the most high end cameras were chemical process dependent for photo printout.
But in digital camera, images are recorded electronically by an inbuilt computer. Though initially they were beyond the reach of normal people due to price factor, now they are available in within an affordable range.
Battery is an important component of any digital camera. In fact the longevity of your digital camera depends upon the performance of its battery. First thing to remember is never go in for alkaline AA batteries as they have shorter life span. Always opt for rechargeable batteries called as NiMH. Although they are a bit costly as compared to alkaline AA digital camera batteries, but they can be reused for a long time.
If you are going out on a long trip, it is a good idea to take extra rechargeable batteries. You never know when they will come handy as digital cameras consume power from batteries quickly even if you use rechargeable ones.
While going on a trip, it is also advisable to take battery charger along with you as digital camera batteries may lose their charge over time. Having a charger is helpful especially if u r novice in digital camera photography for you tend to consume more batteries while clicking the perfect shot. Here are some other helpful tips to increase the longevity of your digital camera batteries.
It is always advisable to remove the batteries when the digital camera is not in use. This simple precaution can ensure the longevity of batteries.
Never let your digital camera batteries get wet as water can corrode the batteries and eventually damage them.
You should have prior knowledge about this fact that, if you are using MicroDrive media these miniature hard drives may take up quite more power than Compact Flash cards and hence extra rechargeable batteries are a must.
Turn off your digital camera when not in use. If you are in a situation where you must snap pictures quickly, this may not be a wise suggestion, but if you are in no hurry and can afford a couple of seconds before snapping a still subject, by all means, conserve your digital camera`s energy.
You do not need to stop and take a look after taking photo every time as by doing this does use up your digital camera`s battery power. However, once in a while, it is good to check if your exposure, lightening is perfect or not.
Now-a-days, many digital cameras come with regular viewfinder and an LCD viewfinder facility. While the digital LCD viewfinder has better resolution, it can drain battery power. Turn it off when applicable and use your regular viewfinder for taking pictures.
Try to keep your image playback to a minimum as they can drain out the battery power.
While replacing batteries in a digital camera, it is recommended that their mAh values match. The `mAh` stands for Milliamp Hour is a technical term used while describing how much power a particular battery will hold. It might be possible that one lesser mAh battery will drain before the others, resulting extra strain on the remaining batteries.
For better performance, do check in for an add-on power pack that uses AA NiMH batteries in your digital cameras.
When your AA NiMH batteries stopped accepting a charge, do not throw away them for they are recyclable. Contact your battery manufacturer or local recycling agency to see if these dead batteries can be recycled.
Always make sure to insert similar batteries into your digital camera battery charger. Miss-match set of batteries can result in damaging the batteries or the charger, and in extreme case, a fire too can ensue.
Taking proper care of your digital camera batteries ensures optimum and long lasting performance. Hope the above tips will come handy for the consumers of digital cameras.

One thing I know for sure about today's kids, is that they all want to be grown up right now. No matter what the age, they don't understand that some things like digital cameras are not meant for them. Well, that was until Fisher Price introduced their new Kid Tough Digital Camera.
The Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera was actually designed with your not too careful kids in mind. The camera is shock mounted so if dropped, it's not a lost cause. The camera is also waterproof so if your budding photographer spills his favorite drink on the camera you are safe. The camera is also waterproof for 30 minutes in as much as 3 feet of water in case it happens to get dropped into the backyard kiddy pool.
One of the major differences between this camera and those intended for older users, is the two eye viewing feature. It is often very hard for youngsters to learn to just use one eye while using a camera. Control buttons are large and easy to use, so the frustration factor is very small. The camera also has a built in Auto flash so indoor photos won't be lost because of the lack of flash.
The resolution of the camera is very low compared to the higher priced digital cameras currently on the market, but it's important to remember that as the camera is designed for the 3 to 6 year old set, the children probably won't notice the difference.
The camera comes with an internal 64 MB of memory. That enables the camera to store up to 500 Photos. Pictures can be down loaded to a PC or Mac for editing, printing or emailing, via a 1.1 or higher USB connection. The USB cable is included with the camera.
Power for the camera comes from 4 AAA batteries. As with most things that are battery operated, having good supply of batteries on hand can forestall many bad moments, when the camera is left on.
The Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera comes in two colors, Pink or Blue. Carrying cases are also available, some in colors and wild designs your kids will love!
So how good of a camera is this? Well, its not going to produce the sharpest pictures in the world. But it will provide hours of enjoyment for your young photo buff. The camera is designed for use by kids, so let them have fun. Who knows, you might just start a new hobby that can last a life time.

More people are able to afford digital cameras because their prices are falling but the number of characteristics is rising so it is important to be able to compare digital camera features.
The first step in being able to compare digital camera features is to decide what you want to get out of your camera. If you compare digital camera prices you will see that for shooting family snapshots you can get a good basic digital camera for under $400, while a professional model is over $2,000. When you compare digital camera features you need to know the extent of the use you are going to get out of it.
It is essential when you compare digital camera options to understand the issues of image resolution, which is measured in megapixels. Basically, the more megapixels, the higher the resolutions of the final image but you definitely need to compare digital camera images with your actual requirements. This is best done if you compare digital camera resolution with the size of the images that you want to print and you will find that a 1-mg camera can create a 3-by-5-inch (7.5 by 13 cm) photo-quality print; a 2-mg camera will make a 5-by-7-inch (13 by 18 cm) print; a 3-mg camera will make an 8-by-10-inch (20 by 25 cm) print, and a 6-mg camera will make a 9-by-13-inch (23 by 33 cm) print.
One of the other points to consider when you compare digital camera prices is to look at the complete package that is offered. Some included extras to look for when you compare digital camera packages are if the camera includes a cable for your computer and if it comes with image-editing software that works with your computer. If these are not included it is still possible for you to buy them separately but you need to allow for this when you compare digital camera prices. Another important point to consider when you compare digital camera options is to choose a camera with removable memory in addition to built-in memory.
All of the cameras that you are considering when you compare digital camera features should have an LCD screen for viewing pictures, a built-in flash, a timer, and a time/date stamp on even the most basic camera. You should also look to compare digital camera packages that have optical zoom, not digital, if you need a zoom capability and most midrange cameras should have high-quality optical zoom lenses but it is still worth checking to make sure.
When looking for a digital camera deal, you might consider looking online for some of the best deals around. You can find every digital camera made online. The only thing you cannot do is try the camera for size as well as how comfortable it feels in your hand. The best thing to do is find a camera or two online and then comparison shop locally to see if the camera is what you want. You can also check to see if the store can beat the price of the online camera. In most cases, you will find that buying online is more affordable even with shipping.
When you are looking for a digital camera deal, you can choose from some of the leaders in digital cameras. Nikon, Canon, Sony, Casio and Fuji are just some of the makers of cameras you can look at for a digital camera. Keep in mind that the best deal is not always the right deal. You want to compare the features and functions of the camera before deciding. This is where a comparison checklist comes in handy. You need to see what camera is going to give you the most for the money.
Even if you are looking at a lower price for the camera, you still want to have something that is not out of date before it reaches six months old. The digital camera deal should beat all the rest in price and functions. If you find a camera for one hundred dollars that has less features and functions that a two hundred dollar camera, chances are, you are not going to get the best deal with the cheaper camera. Always look around and compare the camera and the accessories that come with the digital camera before selecting the best deal.
While Fuji Canon, Casio, Nikon and Pentax are some of the best when it comes to high quality digital cameras, they're certainly not the only game in town. There are equal and better cameras around, you just need to know where to look.
