Digital Camera Review : Vivitar Vivicam 8300s 8.1-Megapixel with 2.5-Inch LCD Screen

noreply@blogger.com (kayonna) — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 11:23:00 +0000

Vivitar Vivicam 8300s 8.1-Megapixel with 2.5-Inch LCD Screen

The super-slim, feature-packed Vivicam 8300s digital camera is ideal for all your digital imaging needs. The camera is equipped with an 8.5-megapixel, 24-bit color CCD image sensor that delivers a maximum resolution of approximately 3,250 x 2,500 pixels, along with a 3.x optical power zoom lens that ranges from 7.5 to 22.5 mm. Add in the vast selection of exposure modes and controls and a small chassis that fits easily in most pockets and you have a camera that lends itself to both creative photographers and snapshot hobbyists. In addition, the oversized 2.5-inch LCD is big enough to make critical framing evaluations during recording and playback.

While the zoom lens captures photos from afar, the macro function lets you take a much closer look--as near as 2 inches--without losing focus. The macro mode is great for shooting insects, flower petals, and other detailed but tiny objects. Beginners and casual photographers, meanwhile, will appreciate the Auto Exposure mode, which instinctively assigns shutter speeds from 1/2 to 1/1,500 of a second using center weighted or spot metering so you don't have to adjust the settings yourself. And should the 3.x optical zoom prove insufficient, the camera also includes a selectable 4x digital zoom.

In addition to taking topnotch still images, the Vivicam 8300s captures movie clips with audio. The recording quality ranges from 640 x 480 to 320 x 240 (at 24 frames per second) until the memory card is full. Users can also add voice memos after the images are recorded thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker.

Finally, the Vivicam 8300s comes with photo editing software. The software is particularly convenient, as it preps the photos for e-mail, posting to the Web, or printing. And because of the camera's high-resolution output, you can rest assured that even large print images will look detailed and vivid. Additional features include auto focus with both spot and multi-point metering, automatic white balance with five presets and manual override, exposure control, built-in auto-flash, and a self-timer with 2, 10, or 10+2 second settings.

The Vivicam 8300s, which measures a mere 3.7 by 2.2 by 1.1 inches (W x H x D), comes with USB and video output cables, a lithium-ion battery pack, and an AC adapter/charger. It's also backed by a one-year warranty.

CANON INTRODUCES NEW 44-INCH imagePROGRAF iPF8000 LARGE FORMAT PRINTER

noreply@blogger.com (kayonna) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 05:36:00 +0000

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging systems, inkjet technology and digital photography equipment, today unveiled the new 12-color imagePROGRAF iPF8000 pigment ink large format printer. Designed to produce stunning color for professional quality giclee prints and photographs, the iPF8000 utilizes Canon's proprietary LUCIA pigment inks to print borderless images up to 42-inches wide, with a maximum paper width of 44-inches at amazing production speeds with outstanding archival image quality. The iPF8000 debuts at SGIA, (Booth #0534) September 26th, in Las Vegas.

Canon's Graphic Arts line of large format printers now includes the imagePROGRAF iPF5000, iPF8000, and iPF9000 printers at 17-, 44-, and 60-inches wide respectively. This expands Canon's large format portfolio which includes their recently announced Corporate and CAD line of large format print solutions. The new iPF8000 printer joins its two sister products by offering an extremely wide color gamut with a full 12-color inkset featuring LUCIA pigmented inks, along with the L-COA processor to quickly and accurately process high resolution image data.

With a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi, the new iPF8000 is ideal for color professionals with large-format printing needs, such as professional photographers, digital artists, graphic designers, commercial printers for proofing, print-for-pays, tradeshow exhibit builders, and signage shops. Advanced professional features such as automatic clogged nozzle detection and compensation for reliability, 330ml and 700ml selectable ink capacity sizes for versatility, a large, backlit LCD panel for ease of use, and ink usage tracking for accountability are all part of the new iPF8000 to satisfy every color professionals' large format printing needs.

"With a range of printer sizes and various media options, the iPF line of large format printers allows digital imaging professionals to choose the solution that will best render their images in the size, tone, and color that they desire for optimal viewing and display," said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The 44-inch imagePROGRAF iPF8000 printer strategically rounds out our line of 12-color large format printers."

The iPF8000 printer uses Red, Blue, Green, Gray, Photo Gray, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Regular Black, and Matte Black LUCIA pigment inks. The 12 ink colors enable the iPF8000 printer to render magnificent color and neutral, stable grayscales. Like its two sister products, the iPF8000 printer loads all 12 ink tanks at once and automatically switches between Regular Black and Matte Black inks, helping to eliminate wasted ink and the downtime of swapping out ink tanks. Each printer is shipped with a set of twelve 330ml LUCIA ink cartridges, and the users have an option to use 700ml large capacity ink cartridges to optimize efficiency.

In order to achieve the level of productivity required by print professionals, the iPF8000 is equipped with a countless number of time-saving features. The printer loads heavy roll paper from the front, eliminating the need to move the printer when changing paper, and the printer is capable of having the ink tank replaced without the need to stop the carriage, allowing for true uninterrupted operation. Additional features such as job log report total ink usage to a tenth of a milliliter and media usage in fractions of square feet to help make managing the running cost effortless. A larger LCD panel with instructional illustrations helps guide users through printer operation with minimal training.

As the last link in the image processing chain, the L-COA processor intelligently interprets image data, directing the fast printing process. Combined with Canon's dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in the industry, the L-COA processor helps achieve print speeds of under seven minutes for 33.1" x 46.8" (A0) size prints with 1200x1200 dpi resolution on a glossy photo paper. The iPF8000 printer's abundant number of nozzles and automatic clogged nozzle detection compensates if a nozzle becomes clogged by having other nozzles pull double-duty. This not only contributes to the printer's speed and accuracy but also helps reduce wear-and-tear on the print heads, increasing the reliability of the printer.

To make the state-of-the-art capability of the hardware even more accessible to users, the new iPF8000 comes with Print Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® for Macintosh OS(® and Windows®, a professional-level photo printing tool to allow printing of 16-bit RGB files, and PosterArtist (for Windows only), an easy-to-use sign and poster creation program, Digital Photo Print Pro (for Windows only), a digital photo correction and layout program. The printer driver for Macintosh® and Windows® includes a new feature called "Free Layout", in which the users can freely lay out print images from various applications on roll fed paper to maximize media usage.

The new iPF8000 printer offers digital printing professionals with a wide variety of media substrates ranging from fine art and photographic paper and canvas to banner and signage material. The variety of media available for the new iPF8000 provides the versatility and flexibility to complete any number of industry applications.

The imagePROGRAF iPF8000 printer will be available through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers in October 2006 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $5,995.

Offering features useful to the entire family, the camera offers a crystal-clear 2.4-inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom in both still and movie modes. In addition to its optical zoom, the S500 provides a 5x digital zoom, achieving a total zoom of 15x when used together.

This model also features robust movie clip editing functions, which allow users to be more creative with their images than ever before. For example, "S" series owners can select and save a portion of a movie clip during playback and/or select part of a movie clip to be saved as a still image. All of this can be done right on the camera, without the aid of a computer or third party editing software. Also included is Samsung's unique successive video function that allows shooters to pause and resume video recording at any time and merge multiple video files into one single file.

For crystal-clear images under many lighting conditions, the S500 features seven scene modes including: Landscape, Close-Up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, and Beach & Snow.

For further convenience, all Samsung digital still cameras feature a built-in image editing function allowing users to edit a variety of images without the use of a PC.

Samsung Digimax L85 8.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom

noreply@blogger.com (kayonna) — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 13:10:00 +0000

The new Digimax L85 is the world's first digital still camera to feature High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This revolutionary new feature allows L85 users to share their photos on a high-definition television in their original quality. The eight-mega-pixel L85 also includes a Schneider Kreuznach 7.8-23.44mm lens with 5x optical zoom, as well as a 2.5-inch LCD display (approximately 230K pixels), which provides the photographer with a wider viewing angle and a more vivid viewing display. The stylishly designed camera offers a comfortable grip, ergonomic design, and a sleek black body with silver accents.

For the more advanced photographer looking for additional control, the Digimax L85 provides multiple manual functions at the user's fingertips. The L85 features three kinds of manual exposure adjustment including Aperture Priority, which allows more control of depth; Shutter Priority, which allows better capture of fast motion; and Manual adjustment, which allows users to set the shutter and aperture themselves.

Along with its many manual functions, the Digimax L85 also has Continuous Shooting mode for consecutive shots. This model also includes Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB), allowing users to shoot a series of pictures with slightly different exposures to ensure perfect lighting and Autofocus Bracketing to take several shots which focus on different elements of the frame to ensure that the perfect image is captured.

The L85 provides MPEG-4 video compression which allows recording times that are three-to-four times longer than the standard digital camera. It has the advanced capabilities to capture movie clips in VGA (640 x 480) at 30 frames per second and several unique movie shooting functions, including a movie stabilizer function, continuous video recording, improved in-camera video editing, and the ability to use the 3x optical zoom while recording. Movie stabilizer helps reduce camera shake by automatic detection and correction of lateral and vertical camera vibrations, while continuous video recording allows the shooter to pause and resume video recording at any time and merge multiple video files into one single file. Users can also save a selected part of a movie clip into a new file during playback and capture a still image during video playback.

To accommodate any subject matter, the Digimax L85 also features 11 scene modes including Night Scene, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow, and Text Recognition. The camera also provides various user-friendly functions such as My Set shot mode, which allows the user to save customized shooting settings. A unique feature, Text Recognition, allows the user to shoot documents such as books, papers, and magazines and then extract text from the image taken using the bundled Digimax Reader text-recognition software. And, the L85 also includes several special effects functions including Color Effect, Highlight, and Photo Frame.

Faster in operational speed than its predecessors, the Digimax L85 boasts a speedier booting time and quicker shot-to-shot speed that reduces down time between pictures.

noreply@blogger.com (kayonna) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 09:09:00 +0000

Samsung engineered a breakthrough in digital camera design with the launch of the NV7 OPS. Part of Samsung's new NV Series, the seven-megapixel NV7 OPS has effectively created a new "slim-bridge" product category, packing an extraordinary 7x optical zoom into a super-slim body measuring just 4.2 x 2.5 x .8 inches. This innovative and unique model also features two types of image stabilization--Optical Picture Stabilization, which physically adjusts the CCD to combat handshake, and Samsung's Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR), electronic image stabilization to ensure a steady, crystal-clear shot in almost any shooting condition.

The NV7 is one of three new models that make up the NV Series of digital still cameras from Samsung. All three models feature unique, slim designs with sleek bodies in brushed black, stainless steel and a trademark Samsung blue ring located around the lens. This premium line was developed after two years of extensive market research, and as a result, two of the NV models feature a revolutionary, easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows users to easily toggle through menu functions using a convenient touch pad located along the LCD on the back of the camera, instead of the traditional dial located at the top of the camera.

For outstanding image quality, the 7-megapixel NV7 includes a Schneider 7x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 38-270mm in 35 mm format). For clear images in undesirable shooting conditions, the NV7 includes an Optical Picture Stabilization system. The system combats the many causes of blurry images, including handshake, long zoom shooting, long exposures, and nighttime shooting, by incorporating a sophisticated CCD shift mechanism that senses motion and that will automatically shift the CCD to compensate for the movement. Also included is Samsung's Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) that electronically combats blurry images in environments lacking sufficient lighting.

For the more advanced photographer looking for additional control, the NV7 provides multiple manual functions at the user's fingertips. The NV7 features three kinds of manual exposure adjustment, including Aperture Priority, which allows more control of depth, Shutter Priority, which allows better capture of fast motion, and Manual adjustment, which allows users to set the shutter and aperture themselves. For additional control, the NV7 also includes an Auto Macro function that automatically adjusts shooting distance and focus between 10 centimeters to infinity, as well as a super macro mode that enables subjects to be photographed up to as close as 4 centimeters.

For smoother video and a larger view of the movie on LCD and TV screens, the NV7 can record in VGA (640 x 480) at 30 frames per second (fps). The NV7 also includes a movie stabilizer function that automatically detects and corrects minor lateral and vertical camera movement. For additional control the continuous video recording function allows the user to pause and resume video recording at any time, while the built-in movie editing function allows users to edit video in-camera. The NV7 features several special effects functions for creative control in-camera, such as Color Effect, Highlight, Photo Frame, Negative, and Composite Shot. Color effects include black and white, sepia, blue, green, and red.

For crystal-clear images under various shooting conditions, the NV7 features 11 scene modes including Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow, and Text Recognition. Text Recognition, a feature unique to Samsung digital still cameras, allows users to shoot documents such as books, papers, and magazines and then extract text from the image taken using the bundled Digimax Reader text-recognition software.

Samsung Digimax S630 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Advanced Shake Reduction Zoom

noreply@blogger.com (kayonna) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 09:07:00 +0000

Samsung's user-friendly point-and-shoot S630 digital camera represents the next generation models of Samsung's most popular point-and-shoot digital still camera products. This powerful, compact camera combines Samsung's advanced image processing technology and quality optics with a straightforward, uncluttered user interface and stylish ergonomic design.

The S630 simplifies the picture-taking process to let photographers capture images without worrying about adjusting multiple settings. Samsung's ASR image stabilization system helps to reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposures and in situations where holding the camera steady is impossible or a tripod is unavailable. When taking pictures outdoors, the S630 automatically detects environmental light conditions through the CCD and adjusts the brightness of the LCD display for optimal image viewing.

Thoughtful features like red-eye reduction allow users to focus on getting the images they want without having to worry about tedious exposure adjustments or editing. The conveniently located mode dial provides instant access to the camera's most commonly used settings, such as Auto, Program, manual, Movie, Scene, ASR, Night Scene, and Portrait. Individual dedicated modes for common-yet-difficult shooting situations including Close-Up (to capture all of the detail at a subject at a close focal range), Sunset (to take advantage of soft, waning light), and Backlight (to compensate for a dark subject lit from behind) are included.

The S630 features a built-in microphone, which allows a 10-second voice memo to be attached to any still image. Slide Show automatically scrolls through photos and displays them on a bright and vivid 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen. The camera's Movie mode lets users capture video in one of two resolutions, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 at 15 frames per second in AVI (MJPEG) format. Just as in still-picture mode, the ASR image stabilization system can be engaged to compensate for unwanted camera movement and subject blur in movie mode.

For maximum versatility, the S630 can be powered by optional high-energy rechargeable Ni-MH batteries as well as available-everywhere AA alkaline cells, which is a surefire boon for travelers and other power users.

All of these features are contained in a sleek housing that measures a mere 3.9 inches (width) by 2.5 inches (height) by 1 inch (depth). The included USB 2.0 cable and CD-ROM containing Samsung's Digimax Master software (compatible with Windows 98/2000/ME/XP and Macintosh OS X 9.2 through 10.4) will get even beginning photographers up and shooting right out of the box.

The S630 contains 20MB of internal memory and can accept Secure Digital (SD) flash memory cards up to 4GB.
