      My new toy!

      July 8, 2010 /

      Canon T1iAround 1:30 today I got a knock on the door from our friendly UPS man, delivering my newest toy – the Canon Rebel T1i. Yes, the T2i is out, but I got an awesome deal on this thing and since both my girlfriend and I are fairly new to the digital photography scene so this camera should be plenty to get us going.

      Shopping for a new camera online can be a harrowing experience. There’s actually too much information available, too many opinions to read. I spent hours and hours digging through forum posts and reviews. Hours reading every conflicting opinion about brand, lens-type, and model. And honestly, none of it was all that helpful.

      The thing that was helpful was getting my hands on a bunch of different models and seeing which felt best, which I was able to adjust quickly and comfortably, and out of all that, what fit my budget. I landed on the T1i and I’m sure I’ll be happy.

      Top 3 – Compact Digital Cameras

      March 10, 2009 /

      CyberShot

      It’s time to break through the clutter and get down to business. This weekly post is going to list not the top 10, or the top 5, but the top 3 of anything gadget related. Why the top 3? Because anything more would be watered down.

      So without further ado, here are the top 3 compact digital cameras.

      3. Nikon Coolpix S610

      Armed with up to 1600 ISO, 4x optical zoom, and the ability to take wide-angle shots, the Nikon Coolpix S610 is sure to please. Oh, and taking pictures in 10 megapixels doesn’t hurt either. My only real complaint is the price. It’s not the cheapest compact camera around but as you know, you usually get what you pay for.

      2. Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS ELPH

      I heard someone was looking for a less expensive compact camera? Well, you found it. If you make a small sacrifice here and there, the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS ELPH is the way to go. With 8 megapixels and 3x optical zoom, you’ll still get great shots from this small camera. Add in face detection and you’ve got a great camera at an affordable price.

      1. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300

      For those of us who want the best of the best, look no further than the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300. Check this: 13.6 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, smile shutter mode, face detection that can differentiate between adult and children’s faces, and adjustable noise reduction. The fact of the matter is; all the cameras on this list will take good pictures. But if you want great pictures from a compact camera, look no further than the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300.
