Canon Digital Elph 10th Anniversary Review

Canon Press Release Excerpt:
It was May 1996 when the camera purchasing public first learned of a special little camera called the Canon ELPH, born of a new photo format the industry optimistically called the Advanced Photo System. Virtually overnight, the camera-buying public made Canon's ELPH not simply the photo industry's top selling compact camera, but far and away, the clearly dominant camera in the new Advanced Photo System (APS) format. Even after APS gave way to advanced digital imaging technology, it is the combination of style-and-substance, form-and-function, that keeps Canon cameras number one worldwide.         Full Article

Canon Powershot SD800 IS Review at DC Resource

Digital Camera Resource wrote a review of the Canon Powershot SD800 IS and said: "There are some image quality tradeoffs that come from having a tiny camera with this kind of lens, but the typical point-and-shooter probably won't be bothered by most of them. The PowerShot SD800 IS is an ultra-compact camera made almost entirely of metal. I say "almost" because of the plastic cover over the memory card and battery compartment -- it's really quite flimsy, and a step down from what was on the SD800's predecessor (the SD700)."          Full Article

Casio Exilim EX-Z700 Review at Think Camera

Think Camera wrote a review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z700 and said: "On the Z600 low light performance is excellent. On the Z700 I'd have to downgrade that to “very good”. This isn't particularly surprising - on a 7MP camera not only are there more pixels crammed together in the same space (and this ends to increase noise) but when you look at a file at 100% you are effectively looking at a larger print size. I'd be happy to print ISO 800 shots at 6X4."         Full Article

Sony Cybershot T50 Review at Steve's Digicams

Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the Sony Cybershot T50 and said: "Like we have seen with the other T-series models this year, the image quality of the T50's 7-megapixel images is very good. Our outdoor samples showed nice exposure and pleasing color saturation. Images are also sharp, thanks to the 5 Area Multi-point AF system and its high-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens. While offering a typical focal range of 38 - 114mm (35mm equivalent), it offers quite a bit of versatility in composing your shots."        More

Sony Cyber-shot N2 Review at DC Resource

Digital Camera Resource wrote a review of the Sony Cybershot N2 and said: "Camera performance is excellent. The N2 starts up in 1.6 seconds, focuses very quickly, and has no shutter lag to speak of. The camera focused well in low light situations thanks to its AF-assist lamp. Battery life was above average. The one downside in terms of performance is the N2's burst mode. It takes just three shots in a row at a very slow 0.7 frames/second. Just about every other compact camera on the market does a better job in this area. Photo quality was very good for the most part."          Full Article

Focusing on Moving Objects in Photography

Ziv Haparnas writes, "Focusing is an important part of shooting a good photo alongside with composition and lighting. Focusing on static objects is relatively easy either by manually focusing or by using the camera auto focus feature. Focusing is much harder when the objects are constantly moving. There are many techniques used by photographers in order to take in focus sharp photos of moving objects. Here are a few of them: When the objects are far enough from the camera focus can be set either manually or automatically to infinite."         Full Article
