Exclusive Leica Camera Price $ 32,000

Made by Leica Camera AG, Germany, this is probably the most expensive among other similar cameras. Just imagine, the camera can be as expensive as the price of a luxury car because it priced U.S. $ 32,000. Expensive, right?

Its appearance is elegant with a body wrapped in a golden brown color of magnesium metal. The shape is classic, so adding an exclusive for its users. M9 Leica Summilux-M lenses equipped with 35 mm F1.4, 18 MP CCD sensor is full frame, and dual image processor in it.

Leica is designing a camera that Leica M9 named for the edition of the collection. Total production is very limited, only 500 units and will be distributed throughout the world. Each unit was given a serial number.

The Digital Camera Camera From Sahitel DB105C

Obviously a bit strange to hear the name Sahitel also present in the digital camera products for this brand is more commonly known as telephone devices or Mini Compo. Sahitel apparently tried to diversify in order to better reach more customers. Well, the product called Sahicam DB105C is one of a series of digital cameras offer image resolution capability up to 10 megapixels. How to pull this gadget?

With dimensions also tend to be conventional and thick (3.5 cm), this camera is less attractive than the slim models that are now crowded players echoed popular camera. But apparently deliberately Sahitel make low-profile digital camera that features quite competitive with the resolution and the ability to involve the selling price.

Model navigation buttons are also likely to be less exclusive but still easy to use. Unfortunately slippery material tends not to make the grip (grip) feels solid. Be careful when you hold it with one hand.

For the photography business, relying only Sahicam ordinary optical lens with a 3x optical zoom capability and reach 5cm macro shooting. To guide the shot, Sahicam DB105C have programmed the 24 schemes can be selected via the menu capture. Among these schemes is quite different options such as capture mode spray (splash water) and water flow (water flow). Amazingly, Potrait mode choice for the face was divided between men and women, perhaps because the contour of the face so that both are different settings required different lighting.

In order to more quickly accessed, some features of images are presented directly on the key as the backlight function and exposure to unite in the left direction key or macro mode and face detection on the top. You should consider indicators that appear on the LCD screen 2.5 "icon with a specific color to be easily identified. The position of the key features in this part quite different from most of the camera so that you are not familiar of confused at first. But if you've used would not be hard to use this digital camera.

From several experiments we did capture, picture quality was nothing special. Images tend to come with a soft akrakter faded colors (soft) at various levels of ISO. Noise or strong spots still available to accompany the photos, especially if a bit low light conditions.

Some weakness was also noted, such as affixes date information on the visible image blur, zoom is not active during the video recording took place, and the inability to preview images that are copied from internal memory to memory card. Well, of course still many shortcomings that interfere though we also liked the ability webcam camera made in the computer.

Average. Sahicam DB105C only offer some interesting faslitas with some limitations in terms of quality.

PLUS: Easy to use; scheme enough pictures; be as a webcam; support of the application; competitive prices.

MINUS: Grip slippery; photos impressed soft and noise; general lack of data connections.

Digital Camera Samsung ST550 For the love style

Researcher at Samsung noted that many camera users often photographed himself, especially when were in the interest alone. But the photograph in a way usually less focus or do not cover the desired area. Because the photographer can not know the exact position himself in the picture. Overcome this constraint via a series of Samsung LCD ST550 with a double. A small LCD on the front of a mirror will help users when photographing him. Innovation is not smart?

Although the mirror could be placed at the front of the camera as the camera phone, apparently intended to make the Samsung LCD 1.5 "on the front of the ST550 does more interesting. Besides able to display images of objects with a clear and dynamic, this mini-screen can display the status of the camera viewfinder when taking pictures so the user himself can know what the viewfinder mode is used at the time.

Cool it again, photographing small children or infants who are usually hard to laugh now more easily via Children Mode feature. In this feature, the LCD will show the front of the clown funny animation that stimulates expression cheerful child.

At first sight it is ST550 further development of the ST50 series with similar specs (including the 12-megapixel resolution capabilities). However, more practical designed Digital Camera Samsung ST550 with Smart Gesture interfaces and gravity sensors. This allows us to change the camera mode or see the rows of images on the LCD screen 3.5 "with camera shake to the left and right.

This feature also allows us to rotate the image by making the sign of a circle with a finger or delete images by making movements with his fingers crossed. Any activity on this touch screen will cause gentle vibration as a sign of a choice made, like access to the iPhone and the BlackBerry Storm.

Quite a lot of interesting technology embedded in the ST550 as dual image stabilizer (optical and digital image stabilization) or the shooting smart Smart Auto (who can choose the image mode automatically according to conditions). A very practical mode will be like those who do not want to mess around by the use of the manual.

Face Recognition Smart technology is also attractive because it can remember up to 20 faces and adjusts focus light into the faces of the most frequently caught the camera. This allows consumers to find images with faces registering and sort them to get a picture in their album Smart quickly than if you had to see the pictures one by one.

My review about digital camera gives almost perfect score on the ST550 to the class of intelligent cameras pocket thanks to a variety of different features and very useful. But this camera has a noise which is still quite high at high ISO settings. In addition, grip the camera less comfortable, too slippery when shooting handheld. Yet this versatile camera is able to answer your needs are often narcissistic act by putting the photographs on social networking sites.


PLUS: Easy to use; two LCD; features interesting photography; can record HD video; wide-angle lens; no improvement photos; a motion sensor.

MINUS: Grip slippery; much noise at high ISO; camera port is less common.

Canon PowerShot A480, Sharp very sharp

This is the lowest model - and also the most expensive - in the line of Canon compact digital camera. But do not rush to judge it as a cheap product, despite its casing black may seem less sophisticated, and a semi-box shape is not too attractive. Oh yes, besides the black color we try, the PowerShot A480 is available in red, blue, and silver.

When compared to its predecessor, the PowerShot A470, this camera is physically 25% smaller. But the larger the sensor (10 megapixels vs.. 7.1 megapixels). The layout of the buttons are now much simpler. Special specification here is supermakro 1cm modes, 15 modes capture options and Face Detection, Motion Detection, and Automatic Red-Eye Correction.

Simple Design
A480 design a simple, semi-box. The simplicity of this design implies a strong impression that the camera on this one aimed at the beginner. A480 himself physically compact. He weighed 140 grams (empty). Quite comfortably inserted into a pants pocket or handbag. This camera special optical zoom lens 3.3 x (37 to 122 mm).

The back is dominated by the A480 LCD screen 2.5 ". On the right side of the screen to the bottom row controls, ranging from zoom buttons (two), the review, the circle navigation (ISO, macro, timer, delete, flash), until the Mode button and menu buttons are located side by side. Mode button lets you choose between Auto, Program, Scene (SCN) and Movie. Right in the middle of the circle navigation buttons present func (tion) / Set which when pressed will bring up a submenu where you can adjust exposure compensation, white balance, color, metering, continuous shooting, image size and quality.

Only two small things that we liked less. Incidentally, these two items at the bottom of the camera. First, the tripod stand is located in the middle made of plastic, not metal. Second, and this affects all the latest Canon digital cameras, is the union of the location of the battery and memory card. Merging of these two locations is often made that were installed AA batteries fell when the memory card will be replaced (because of low capacity or because the shots will be transferred via card reader).

Easily Mastered
All camera menu appears straightforward. Buttons clearly labeled, making it easier for users, including beginners. A special button below the navigation circle gives access to the camera menu. Most settings, such as white balance, exposure compensation and ISO speed, are not accessible from the menu.

For beginners, there are Auto, Program, and 15 scene modes that allows the operation of the camera. The 15 scene modes consist of the Super Macro, Snow, Foliage, Aquarium, Beach, Long Shutter, Firework, Sunset, Indoor, Kids & Pet, Night Snapshot, and Portrait.

Super Macro provided very interesting. This feature allows us to target within 1cm from the subject with a 37mm focal length. The result - as we try - quite sharp and detailed. But, of course, somewhat difficult to get good lighting at close distances.

Another specialty is the AF frame that can detect up to nine faces within a frame and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance to produce a better picture.

Oh yes, the camera is Canon body is no anti-shake systems that function optically reduce the effects of hand shake. In exchange, provided motion detection technology (motion detection), which is identical with the anti-shake digital. This feature will recognize the camera shake or subject movement and boost ISO to a certain level (between 80 to 800) that the digital camera be able to compensate for motion effects without causing a big noise.

Focus on the Screen
All shooting at the camera should be done by monitoring a subject on the LCD screen 2.5 ". For as the new Canon compact cameras the other, A480 no longer mengemaskan viewfinder. In sufficient light conditions and high-resolution LCD screen shows it looks bright and clear. However, in low resolution, the LCD shows it looks less than perfect.

Oh yes, the LCD will go black for a moment when the camera is recording images to a memory card (SD / SDHC). Need about 0.5 seconds to save an image. But we can continue to take pictures when the pictures are recorded onto a memory card.

After the images are recorded, we have repeated in the LCD menayang. We can roll up these images, view up to 9 thumbnails per screen, to the maximum zoom with 10x magnification, play in a slideshow, delete, protect, reduce the size and rotate the image. The order of print and transfers can also be arranged here.

In this LCD screen you can also enable Red-eye Correction to reduce red-eye effect in the photo. Meanwhile Info Disp option offers four options, namely Off, Standard, Detailed and Focus Check. Detailed show information about each image, ranging from the speed of ISO 80 to 800, white balance, shutter speed, aperture, and a small histogram of brightness levels quite useful in evaluating exposure. Focus Check shows images side by side with a small section of enlargement - useful to check the sharpness of the image.

Quite Responsive
A480 quite responsive. The time needed (startup) starting from the camera turned on until ready to shoot for about 1 second. The same time needed to zoom from the widest focal length to the longest.

Sufficient light conditions, the camera can quickly focus. While the focus in the room or on conditions less light will be assisted by a focus-assist lamp is pretty strong.

When we try, capable A480 pictures with good quality. Blitz it worked well in the room, with a little red-eye effect. Pictures taken at night well enough, with a maximum shutter speed 15 seconds. Biggest enemy in this camera is the noise that began to appear at ISO 200.

In continuous mode, the camera takes 0.8 frames per second at the highest image quality. This figure includes very slow. That sucks, including the flash recharging time later, about 3 to 4 seconds.
***

Overall, despite the simple look, digital cameras Canon PowerShot A480 is capable. Facial recognition system (face detection) which can detect up to 9 faces with 5 AF points, and 15 scene modes. Histogram and also provides information about the shooting of detail, ease of access to the ISO speed, and mode of supermakro 1cm - features that are also embedded in the Canon PowerShot A1100 series is more expensive around USD 500 thousand.


In short, the Canon PowerShot A480 is the camera easy to use and capable to produce photographs that are good for novice users.


PLUS: Supermakro 1cm; features Face detection; easy to use.


MINUS: Poor in low-light conditions; refill the old flash; slow on continuous shooting.

Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, Can Video Full HD and OK in the Light Minim

Canon cameras have more and more powerful. EOS-1D Mark IV can record video at ISO 6400 with a net result. Camera capable of capturing images 1080p (1920x1080 - full HD) on 24, 25 or 30 fps, and video recording at 50fps or 60fps in standard definition or 720p.

Performance 16.1 megapixel camera (APS-H) is also cute in low-light conditions with ISO options from 100 to 12,800. His choice of ISO that can be derived up to ISO 50, and raised up to ISO 102,400 with minimal noise.

Is also interesting in the EOS-1D Mark IV is otofokus system. There are 45 AF-points, and 39 of them are cross-type that is more sensitive and accurate (to work in two areas, rather than one). In addition there are additional settings for the AF function so users can select the AF system best fits the shooting conditions vary. On the use of Live view function, users can choose one of 3 AF systems exist: Live Mode, Face Detection or Quick Mode.

"Canon EOS-1D Mark IV is not only present a high ISO setting to overcome low lighting alone, but its autofocus technology was also developed to be able to work a maximum in the low lighting conditions. This is the advantage that no other camera has," said Merry Harun (Director Canon Division, PT. Datascrip).

In order to transfer data faster, Canon EOS-1D Mark IV equipped with an LCD 3 "It also supports UDMA Mode 6. Digital images can also be transferred wirelessly with additional accessories.

Sony HDR-TG1, Tiny AVCHD Minicam

Now more and more HD recorder is increasingly popular as supporting entertainment device such as LCD HD TV or Blu-ray player. Disk-based HD recorder is also becoming a lot on the market before other models followed by a video store in the memory card or what we might call a minicam.

Manufacturer Sony's popular with his handycam minicam series also presents the HDR-TG1 AVCHD format (video compression format that includes the best right now). Handycam model is different from most because it is made like a combination of David and Goliath. What does that mean?

HDR-TG1 known as camcorders Sony AVCHD format HD with the world's smallest dimension 6.3 x3, 2x11, 9 cm and weighs less than 300 grams. This product actually more accurately described as minicam replace hard disk used for storage with a card Memory Stick PRO Duo. But used as a storage memory card does not make the video quality go down because Sony still implement AVCHD compression with a maximum of 16Mbps bitrate.

TG1 also implemented a ClearVid CMOS sensor Exmor technology is also applied to several rows of hard drive-based camcorders. Technologically, this is equivalent to minicam recorder hard drive-based AVCHD Sony others. Limitations only on the capacity simpannya space.

In addition to relying on "intelligence" internal, TG1 special makeup so as not to be easily damaged / defects caused by physical impact. For that order in TG1 using titanium materials are very strong and reinforced by the outer layer so that the entire physical hard minicam be very tough and not easily soiled. Sony also makes access TG1 very practical because it only puts a little navigation button to perform the image recording / video. Oh access TG1 also very exciting because it provides a setting in the Indonesian language usage.

In a video recording, TG1 offers several resolution options ranging from standard definition (SD) resolution up to 1440x1080i high-definition (HD) 1920x1080i resolution, each of which is offered in a quality 3-16Mbps bitrate. To obtain maximum results, TG1 complement system with Face Detection feature for face recognition, Carl Zeiss lens with 10x optical zoom, Super SteadyShot OIS for more stable images, and support to raise xvColour more realistic color and contrast. For this last feature TG1 should be connected with a compatible device such as Bravia LCD TV with xvColour.
***

While also capable of shooting up to a resolution of 4 megapixels, TG1 still more ideal for recording video. Several shots still images lack the natural results. As for the video quality we were quite satisfied even though the quality of the resulting HD is still a interlace (i). TG1 was also not a several video features such as the hard drive-based camcorders that creativity is somewhat limited video here. But for conventional use is very adequate, especially for those who seek a sophisticated HD recorders and resilient.


PLUS: compact design, luxury, and strong structure; easy to use; connections much; features useful record.
MINUS: Image quality is less natural; minimal manual controls; without mic port / headphone-in; price is quite expensive.

This has brought Minicam specification recording video images and high resolution but the price is less than Rp1, 4 million. Not cheap enough?

Minicam who weighs about 154 grams (without batteries) is using the LCD screen 2.5 "LTPS-efficient power. Even so, the screen looks sharp when viewing images. The screen itself can be rotated 270 degrees and is continuous with the lens is pushed to the right of the LCD is opened.

CoolLife wearing minus optical zoom lens that with a 5-megapixel resolution. If necessary, the resolution can be increased to 4000 x 4000 pixels (16MP) with interpolation system. But the resulting image quality of this interpolation process is not perfect with the Indication of considerable noise.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1, Sharp

This slim camera body, a bit flat. Dimensions 5.4 x9, 7x2, 6 cm. Steady when held for the entire body is made of metal. This camera is also light at 138 grams, good to put into your pocket.

At the top we will see the jog dial and shutter button doubles as the edges zoom lever, and switch on / off. Placement shutter button slightly to the first in our opinion less convenient and should be exchanged with the jog dial position. Because when in a hurry to take pictures, we are often wrong pressure. But after using it, we realized that the laying of a little into a position that also makes the camera more balanced when held with two hands, while his right hand pressing the shutter button.

An LCD screen 2.7 "seemed to dominate the back of the Panasonic DMC-ZR1. On the right side panel switches playback screen looks, the E-Zoom, 4-way circle, Display button, and Q. Menu button. This feature is typical of Panasonic compact cameras.

E-Zoom button on the rear panel arouse our curiosity. So we pressed. Well, look at the LCD camera with 12.1 megapixel resolution is a direct object in a state shows very close, showing that the zoom lens moves from wide-angle mode to the telephoto. It's really fun. We pressed it again, and the digital zoom was presented with a maximum magnification of 16x achieve.

What else is new? One of them is optical image stabilizer technology that by Panasonic OIS is called Power. This is different from Mega OIS system previously used. OIS stabilization in Power, by Panasonic, is the second time.

In the widest condition, measuring 25mm camera lens and a long stretched out from a compact camera body. This lens has a maximum aperture f/3.3 (wide) and f/5.9 (telephoto). This camera brings aspherical lens elements 0.3 mm in the world's first. That's why the lens can be more compact than its predecessor. ZR1 Unfortunately this is not mengemaskan AVCHD video recording modes like his brothers. Presented only 720p HD recording format.

Approximately 2.57 seconds after the power switch is shifted to the right, ZR1 is ready. It takes 2 seconds for him to start shooting. Zoom was a bit slow, takes about 3 seconds when pressed.

Although the speed is still need to be increased, image quality is very good overall. Look sharp shots. At telephoto any conditions, maintained a sharp object. Unfortunately, the colors less accurate presented. Especially in blue look less bright. This color except clear blue sky. Noise started looking at ISO 400, with visible grain at ISO 800 and 1600.

Nice feature here is intelligent auto mode that automatically determines Best Scene when we shoot in macro and landscape conditions. Power OIS worked fine, but of course we did not expect to get a picture that does not run away without using a tripod, especially when shooting at night with a slow opening.

What about video quality? Compared to the quality of the image (still image), video still shows noise. Fortunately, the same recorded voice sounded clear, though still sound ditingkahi breeze. Which is also fun, optical zoom to function when we are recording a video.
***

If you are looking for a compact camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 is worth considering. Good picture quality, its zoom length, and endurance batteries good enough. Which is also fun, Panasonic invested 40Mb internal memory, which can be used as our capacity SDHC cards out while we still want to take pictures. Besides silver, the camera is available in black, red, and blue.


PLUS: Slim and compact; E-Zoom button; 40Mb internal memory; good image quality.

This camcorder can be directly used as soon as we pulled it out of cardboard. No need to bother looking for a memory card, because Panasonic has invested 8GB memory, enough to record images up to 6690 shots at a resolution of 1920x1080 (2.1 M), or video recording of duration 1 hour 3 minutes (1920 HA formats - 17Mbps, VBR 1920x1080). If you want a longer duration, change the format to the 1440 HE (6Mpbs, 1440x1080 VBR).

Digital Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1, Sharp

This slim camera body, a bit flat. Dimensions 5.4 x9, 7x2, 6 cm. Steady when held for the entire body is made of metal. This camera is also light at 138 grams, good to put into your pocket.

At the top we will see the jog dial and shutter button doubles as the edges zoom lever, and switch on / off. Placement shutter button slightly to the first in our opinion less convenient and should be exchanged with the jog dial position. Because when in a hurry to take pictures, we are often wrong pressure. But after using it, we realized that the laying of a little into a position that also makes the camera more balanced when held with two hands, while his right hand pressing the shutter button.

An LCD screen 2.7 "seemed to dominate the back of the Panasonic DMC-ZR1. On the right side panel switches playback screen looks, the E-Zoom, 4-way circle, Display button, and Q. Menu button. This feature is typical of Panasonic compact cameras.

E-Zoom button on the rear panel arouse our curiosity. So we pressed. Well, look at the LCD camera with 12.1 megapixel resolution is a direct object in a state shows very close, showing that the zoom lens moves from wide-angle mode to the telephoto. It's really fun. We pressed it again, and the digital zoom was presented with a maximum magnification of 16x achieve.

What else is new? One of them is optical image stabilizer technology that by Panasonic OIS is called Power. This is different from Mega OIS system previously used. OIS stabilization in Power, by Panasonic, is the second time.

In the widest condition, measuring 25mm camera lens and a long stretched out from a compact camera body. This lens has a maximum aperture f/3.3 (wide) and f/5.9 (telephoto). This camera brings aspherical lens elements 0.3 mm in the world's first. That's why the lens can be more compact than its predecessor. ZR1 Unfortunately this is not mengemaskan AVCHD video recording modes like his brothers. Presented only 720p HD recording format.

Approximately 2.57 seconds after the power switch is shifted to the right, ZR1 is ready. It takes 2 seconds for him to start shooting. Zoom was a bit slow, takes about 3 seconds when pressed.

Although the speed is still need to be increased, image quality is very good overall. Look sharp shots. At telephoto any conditions, maintained a sharp object. Unfortunately, the colors less accurate presented. Especially in blue look less bright. This color except clear blue sky. Noise started looking at ISO 400, with visible grain at ISO 800 and 1600.

Nice feature here is intelligent auto mode that automatically determines Best Scene when we shoot in macro and landscape conditions. Power OIS worked fine, but of course we did not expect to get a picture that does not run away without using a tripod, especially when shooting at night with a slow opening.

What about video quality? Compared to the quality of the image (still image), video still shows noise. Fortunately, the same recorded voice sounded clear, though still sound ditingkahi breeze. Which is also fun, optical zoom to function when we are recording a video.

If you are looking for a compact camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 is worth considering. Good picture quality, its zoom length, and endurance batteries good enough. Which is also fun, Panasonic invested 40Mb internal memory, which can be used as our capacity SDHC cards out while we still want to take pictures. Besides silver, the camera is available in black, red, and blue.

PLUS: Slim and compact; E-Zoom button; 40Mb internal memory; good image quality.

MINUS: Burst speed; not Full HD; placement of the shutter button.
