Canon SX30IS 14.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 Inch Wide LCD Deluxe Bundle With 4 GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card, Digpro Compact Camera Deluxe Carrying Case, 3pc. Lens Cleaning Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This camera has so many great features. The feature that allows a quick zoom out to re-align your subject while using the 35X zoom is placed in an awkward place. It is very easy to hit this button when shooting and it changes your focus for a bit and you have to be careful where your hand placement is on the camera. It can produce noisy photos in low light unless you use a tripod and carefully choose settings. I have only got to use the camera for short time, but so far I am happy with it!

A PowerShot with an Extreme Zoom.The PowerShot SX30 IS has got you prepared for your next extreme photo opportunity. This point-and-shoot digital camera comes with a massive 35x Wide-Angle (24-840mm) Optical Zoom lens - a first for any PowerShot! It also comes with a 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD, 14.1 Megapixels, High Dynamic Range, Zoom Framing Assist and much more. Canon's first high-powered 35x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom (24-840mm) with Optical Image Stabilizer reduces camera shake to achieve amazing images whether you are up close or far away. The PowerShot SX30 IS is equipped with a 35x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 4.3 - 150.5mm (35mm equivalent: 24 - 40mm) that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto. The camera uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for high-speed, quiet, energy-efficient lens movement with precise control. Focal length is conveniently indicated on the lens barrel. The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera's high 14.1 Megapixel resolution. UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens. The SX30 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash. Improvements to Movie modes: Dynamic mode enables users to use the Optical Image Stabilizer while shooting video in the wide-angle setting, and the Optical Zoom is now available while shooting video. Dynamic IS all...

(More customer reviews)This kit is all I wanted for. The camera works great and fits all my standards but the whole kit is very useful. I hate when I have to buy a case for separate or even the memory card so it made it very convenient. The only stupid thing was the 25 free pictures which would only work if you live in Brooklyn because the shipping to Boston is more than the pictures itself.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This upgrade to the Canon sure shot is good due to the face recognition that automatically appears for images. Big image screen to view images, the settings are easy to select.
Only down side is a slow recovery for the flash, takes approximately 15 seconds to reset and that's not fun when you are trying to shoot quickly.
Otherwise, good beginner camera for those who want quality shots with a minimal amount of work.

The main function of the lens hood is to shade the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality. But it will also protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles and in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens.The advantage of the petal shape design is, that it offers the same prevention of flare as the corresponding circular or rectangular design, but with a smaller size and a lighter weight. Installation: *Rotate lock-ring to expose the thread's mounting thread*Attach the hood by screwing it on the filter or lens thread.*Rotate lock-ring back to fix the hood on the thread.*While fixating the hood with the lock-ring, keep the " " symbol on the hood exactly at 12 o'clock position for the correct perpendicular orientation of the higher sides of the hood.

Lowepro Apex 110 AW (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like this pack, using it for my Canon SX10IS currently. It has lots of room (although if you have a longer lense or big flash they probably wont fit) for both the camera and accessories. Along with the camera I can fit 2-3 packs of AA batteries, several memory cards, an SD card reader, the Nikon Lens Pen cleaning system, and a few other small items.
It's very durable, and the cushy shoulder strap makes it good for longer excursions. I feel very comfortable that my camera is secure and safe inside it (lots of padding). The all-weather cover is also a really nice feature, although you have to detach the shoulder strap in order to put it on, which can be pretty annoying. Also note that you wont be able to access anything in the bag once the weather cover is on.
The little micro-fiber lens cloth inside is also a nice feature to have, as well as the various pockets.
The way it zips up can make it a bit awkward to use at times (especially if you are trying to do it one-handed).
My only other complaint is that the form-factor (essentially a box) can make it kind of awkward and cumbersome as compared to other packs. It sticks out a lot from your body and can feel a bit bulky and uncomfortable since it doesn't always contour very well to your back or side. It's a bit like having a lunch box strapped to you. The padding on it makes this not too much of a problem though and I wouldn't call it a deal breaker. Note that the meshed surface on the back of the bag will mess up some shirts by rubbing against them and causing lots of "pills."

Nikon Coolpix P100 10.3 Megapixel Digital Camera with 26x Optical Zoom (Matte Black) with + 4GB Card + EN-EL5 Battery + Case + Accessory Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm just an average camera buff. My needs are simple, but they are needs regardless. With that, I needed a camera with more pixels. My previous camera was an Olympus C-700U which I purchased over 9 years ago. At the time it was a great camera with a 10x optical zoom, which was pretty good. It also had 2.1 pixels which seemed pretty good also. It was a great camera for MY needs. Speaking of needs, let me say that they are few. I needed a camera that had a good optical zoom and a good amount of pixels. It should be easy to use and small enough to carry on a tank bag strapped to my Ducati. The C-700U worked well and was small enough. The other day I decided to check out the latest in digital cameras. I don't have the patience for long drawn out reviews, telling me that this camera has a genuine hard plastic lens cover that if set just right covers the lens! I needed a review that said this camera was good because the pixels were there and the zoom was great! I'm an average camera buff who takes pictures that never show up in a magazine! So, getting to this camera. It is small, easy to use, and has a great zoom lens. It has over 10 megapixel, I can look at the display or through the lens, I can dump a picture without a lot of hassle and battery life is pretty good also. I should mention that I am 64, retired twice and married(or was it married twice and retired). The Nikon P100 is a great camera for my needs. I was on a walk this AM and took several pics of flowers. The macro is pretty good, as I just looked at the pics and I was very pleased. I took some pics of the horses as my wife fed them, and was very impressed with the quality and clarity of the pics. Now these may not be the words to use, but I'm sure someone may understand what I'm saying. If you get paid to take pictures, your not reading this anyway. Try the camera at a store and see for yourself, but I am very pleased and would recommend this to anyone, even a family member.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my order in seven days. The order was filled exactly as stated. No tricks, no gimmicks, no lies. BOTH batteries were also rated at 1500mAH. The battery that came with my camera is only 1100mAH. This is a great deal for the price. The car charger cable ends are injection molded for added durability with an indicator light for power.
The swivel action on the home charger feels a tad unsturdy but otherwise solid with an indicator light for power as well.
Bottom line, decent quality at a low price.

Canon SX30IS 14.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 Inch Wide LCD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this camera as a replacement for my Panasonic FZ-35. After having taken a few hundred pictures - including some side-by-side comparisons with the FZ35, here is my impression.
The canon image processor is much better at color balance and overall image capture than the FZ35 - images are brighter and so capture more details otherwise lost in shadow or just a tendency the FZ35 has towards gray-scale processing in order to get the excellent sharpness the FZ35 is known for.
Having said that - I would not recommend using the Auto setting on the Canon. Its choice of focal point within an image tends towards creating images where the background is just as likely to be more in focus than the subject. Typically the camera tries to focus around the edge of the subject rather than the subject itself. Sometimes this can work to improve clarity by improving depth of focus a bit, sometimes it creates an image where nothing is in focus and sometimes it causes the camera to focus on "edgy" subjects that may not really be the subject at all - like a lamp post in the background, tree trunks in the background, etc. In the playback mode you can select a display which shows you the cameras focal point - which can help explain why some of your images look they way they do in Auto. Auto mode will also adjust the color of an entire image when it senses facial recognition to improve skin tones, but honestly the color balance of the Canon is so good anyway this is almost unnecessary and sometimes tends towards overcompensation so your entire image takes on a sickly green/brown hue.
However, if you switch from auto to P - or in fact any other of the SCN or mode selections on the dial, these annoying Auto features are disabled and you can get some really great photos. At this point the camera uses a single center focus frame (the size and position of which can easily be manually adjusted to fit your subject if you like) and you start getting pictures more like you expect. In addition, the customization options of the Canon such as magnifying the focal frame, color options, easy adjustment of just about any shooting function, combined with the superb zoom range still make this camera best in class. My only complaint for SCN settings is I wish they had a "sunset" but that is easily created in the color menu where you can select to emphasize reds.
The canon normally produces very clear images, however Canon generally processes to keep color balance as opposed to edge distinction at higher ISO speeds so sometimes the images become a bit more fuzzy than what those of us used the the FZ35 might like - on the other hand red stays red rather than turning black. You can manually limit the ISO to whatever maximum you prefer with the easy to use ISO button.
If you want to add a lens filter protector, polarizer, etc. you will need to purchase the 67MM adapter to do so (Canon FA-DC67A) - and good luck finding one!
This camera, like all of the others in this class, struggle with poor light conditions due to their small sensor. However unlike the competition, canon allows you to mount an external flash and that pretty much clears up this issue if you're willing to pay the expense. The way I look at it its a cheaper option than a $1,000-$3,000 DSLR which can go up to ISO 6,000 for low light conditions.
Overall the Canon is definitely a step up from anything else that was out there - but it does have its quirks you need to be aware of and work around. The opportunity for creativity on one camera/lens is really unrivaled by anything else out there. The ability to go from 1 cm away macro to 35x superzoom at the pull of a switch just can't be found on any other camera, combined with the scene options such as fisheye not normally found on other such cameras, and wide range of color options also not found on the Canon competitors in this class, you have a great tool for creative photography. So while the SX30 is certainly not perfect and image quality will sometimes be less than your $3,000 DSLR+lens (although for some pictures you'd need large magnification/blow-up to tell the difference) - on the whole it's worth putting up with the limitations for the other factors. One caution - if you're looking for a simple to use point-and-shoot this may not be your best choice due to the often poor intelligence in Auto setting. If not for this it would have gotten 5 stars.
