You remember those "disposable cameras" you could buy for a few bucks with the film embedded in them? They had the following functions: film advance, flash (maybe!), shutter button. The point is they were simple. They took pictures that were "good enough" for vacation use. And if you lost the camera, not a big deal -- you only paid a few bucks for it.

A step above that, for some few bucks more, you could get one extra feature: A more durable camera body with the exact same features as above, but with removable and replaceable film. The Vivitar v8025 is the digital equivalent of that camera.

It has: a fixed lens (no zoom), a flash (settings: off, auto, fill, red-eye), settings for ISO (film speed/sensitivity -- basically like loading a different type of film in the camera), white balance, exposure compensation (+/- 3 EV), shooting mode (e.g., landscape, sports, night portrait, auto, etc), macro/landscape switch, and a self-timer.

It also has the usual settings for image size (1-8MP), quality, sharpness, some sort of "shake reduction" feature, and "facial recognition."

In operating terms, it doesn't get much more simple than this for a digital camera. It makes my DiMAGE Xt seem advanced. The V8025 can take decent photos and has decent "auto" settings, but like any camera, you will need to become familiar with exposure compensation, white balance, and the macro/landscape settings in order to take consistent pictures.

What's ok about it?

1. You can get it for cheap if you hunt, <.

2. Big LCD screen (tho nominal resolution)

3. Long battery life from a generic cell-phone Li-ion battery. I've taken over 100 photos, and had it on for over one hour so far, turned it on/off several times, fiddled with settings, and it just entered the 2/3's battery mark.

4. The tripod mount is in-line with the lens. Nice! (not so with my DiMAGE Xt)

5. Easy access to flash and macro/landscape modes, and they really work.

6. It comes with combo USB cord/wall charger, and uses a standard USB connection.

7. Assuming everything else is of good build quality, the lack of moving parts should make this camera durable. It also looks nice.

My gripes?

1. The lens and sensor aren't high enough quality to warrant the 8MP resolution. It's just a sales gimmick to jack up the MSRP. How often are you going to be printing larger than 8x10 with this thing? I keep it around 3MP. see [comment] for more info. Other benefits of using the lower 3-5MP settings: a. faster card writes b. larger storage capacity

2. Important exposure settings (+/- EV, ISO, white balance, shooting mode) are split between two different menu hierarchies. But even though these settings are things that we need to tweak often, most cameras I've ever seen bury them under menus.

3. Which would be OK, but menu navigation via "touch screen" buttons is bit gimmicky and not as useful as multi-function directional buttons. You get used to it after a little bit, though.

4. For some reason, the camera resets the "facial recognition" and "shake reduction" settings with every power off/on. Annoying.

5. A little slow on time to first pic after power on (~5 sec)

Don't pay a dollar over for it. Buy a super-cheap 256/512mb SD card. Charge it up, set it to 3-6MP. Keep it on you and use it frequently. Practice your photo composition. Have fun. And don't fret if you damage, break or lose it!

This is my first tripod. Wanted one to take family group photos on holidays. Even though it didn't come with instructions (would have been helpful since I didn't know how to use it) I easily figured it out. I have a Kodak Easy Share camera & it is very stable for me. I know that there were some negative comments about it being top heavy for more professional cameras but for me, this is just perfect. Don't worry if the instructions are missing, if that happens to you. It is VERY easy to figure out. If I can do it...anybody can do it!

Manfrotto 682B Self Standing Monopod (Black) CustomerReview

I got this monopod because not every place allows tripods. Many museums and other places you may want to go to take photos don't want you bringing in a huge tripod and setting up in front of a piece of artwork (that is if they even allow photos). I have found that many places will allow monopods. I shoot a Canon 40D with the battery pack. I am able to use the 28-135mm f/3.5 USM with no problem in stability. I have not tried it with the 70-200mm f/2.8L USM but that is a lot of weight so I might not get that brave.

The camera will screw right onto the monopod without a head and you can raise or lower it quickly. To stabalize the shot while using as a monopod I suggest placing your hand in (not all the way through)the provided strap so that your hand pulls down on the strap and gripping the well cushioned top section of the monopod. Another added benefit of using this piece is that it makes you look more professional and people will stay out of your way while you get the shot. For wedding/event photography, this is a must have.

The light weight makes it easy to carry around and the quick setup will help when there is nothing to lean on to stabalize yourself. You will need to practice screwing the camera to the monopod if you don't intend on leaving it attached since the first few times it is a little difficult to begin threading the screw in. After a while you'll be an old pro at it.

To muffle the sound the legs make while stored inside the monopod, try some rubber bands wrapped around the top and middle of the legs. If you want to get real fancy, you can buy velcro straps as well. You may have to cut them to length to make sure they fit inside with the legs.

Happy shooting.

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

I recently bought the fotodiox 37mm Lens hood and got exactly what I wanted, a small affordable hood that can easily be taken on and off. My only concern is the construction is weaker than expected, but it will not be a problem with normal use. One thing I liked is that on my Canon HF200, the lens hood WASN'T in view, a plus for me. One thing to check is that if the hood will block the microphone of your camera.

Two weeks ago, I bought this camera to replace a T700. Photography is my hobby, though I consider myself an amateur with a keen eye. I have mastered the features of every point-and-shoot I have ever owned.

The Good:
- Beautiful exterior design. This camera's color is a deep, metallic red.
- This 2010 model takes SDHC cards.
- Panoramic feature makes landscape photos easy to create. Just pan the camera to the right.
- HD video is beautiful!
- Touchscreen layout is intuitive. One can use their hand (or the provided stylus) to slide across the screen to access additional menus (like an iPhone). One may also manually select the point of focus.
- Indoor and low-light pictures come out very well. Handheld twilight allows those with shaky hands to take nice photos (camera takes six pictures and combines them for the least noise/graininess).
- Multiburst in three different speeds.
- Left menu can be customized with the most-used features.
- Packed with features and editing tools, though I have not used the other settings yet.
- Camera package includes a dock and cables to connect to computers and televisions.
- Similar slideshow functions as T700 for a delightful photo-viewing experience.

The Bad:
- Wide-angle lens distorts the shape of people when not zoomed in. People's heads are shaped strangely, especially if they move within the picture.
- Low battery life. Battery is also extremely pricey.
- Compared to the T700, the flash is very limited. When taking a non-zoomed photo, there is a strange distribution of flash - four sides of the photo are dim, while the middle is bright. Sometimes, the flash overexposes the photo, such that the subjects appear ghostlike.
- Fully automated; there is a 'program' function, but everything on it is preset.
- Just an annoyance: I couldn't find a setting to turn off auto-review. I usually take many photos in succession (not burst mode), so I don't use time to review what I've taken. Using burst mode is not a viable solution because an increase in shutter speed means less light is let into the lens.

Personally, I don't prefer a camera controlled by touch screen, as this probably uses more battery power than pushing buttons; however, the interface is well-designed. In general, this camera is slim and easy to use; I would recommend it to anyone who likes to take pictures and enjoys a large screen for viewing photos.

See the difference. A new world of imaging. Creative photos and movies in full HD.

Shoot HD movies with single-lens-reflex photo quality.

Full-HD Movie Recording in AVCHD

With the GH1, shooting incredible photos is only part of the fun. You can also shoot beautiful, richly detailed movies in full HD (high-definition) (1920 X 1080) at 24 frames per second, or smooth HD (1280 X 720) movies at 60 frames per second in AVCHD format (MPEG-4/ H.264) with continuous auto focus.

* You can record for a longer time without running out of memory because AVCHD stores less data than Motion JPEG while maintaining stunning image clarity and detail. A separate button on the back lets you instantly start recording movies while shooting photos, without having to make any extra settings.

*Full-HD (1920 X 1080) movies are output by the image sensor at 24p (NTSC)/25p (PAL), and recorded at 60i (NTSC)/50i (PAL). HD (1280 X 720) movies are output and recorded by the image sensor at 60p (NTSC)/50p (PAL).

Full HD (1920 X 1080) at 24 frames per second faithfully shows every detail.

HD (1280 X 720) at 60 frames per second smoothly and carefully reproduces moving subjects.

The aperture adaptively adjusts to each scene, letting you capture the kind of delicate, softly focused movies that only a digital interchangeable lens camera can produce. Thanks to a silence design that helps suppress lens drive noise, the GH1 with its new kit lens records sounds with amazing clarity. This kit lens also incorporates MEGA O.I.S.

I wanted a camera that was small, light, took DSLR quality photos and HD video. Since I am getting older, I am no longer willing to carry 25 lbs of photo gear anymore. But I wanted enough manual control to stretch my self artistically. Since I was mostly putting the output on the web, photo frame and in video productions, I liked, but did not need "National Geographic" quality. But I do have enough talent to occasionally take a NatGeo quality photo. So on to the camera....

Have a tough time grading this camera. So will thow some thoughts out there see if they stick with you. First, I'm excited about the micro four thirds (m4/3) format, as I believe it'll give the non-pros 80% of the pro level with a lot less stuff to drag around. I look for good things to come.

That said, I am disappointed at the lack of bright lenses, save the 20mm f1.7. On the other hand, I've been able to mount (film) SLR lenses that date back to the 1970's on my Panny. I've had fun buying a Canon FD 200mm f/2.8 and a Nikkor F 35mm F/2.0 lens (and more!) for a song on e-bay along with appropriate adapters. I shoot these in program AE or AP mode. In addition to manual apeture, you must manual focus, and it can focus beyond infinity, therefore I only suggest these old lenses for those comfortable using manual mode. It's pretty cool to have a camera that does a competent job with this fine old glass. Incidentally, F/1.4 and below seems to be somewhat softer than same lens stopped to f2/0-f/8. True of many lenses tested. That said at equivalent focal lengths, the 25-30 year old lenses are sharper than the kit lens. But it's incremental, I doubt most casual shoortes would notice.

My biggest gripe with the camera is the overall softness of the still image using the kit lens. (Video is fine, but then again, it's moving) It's sharp up to about 100mm and f/8 or lower, at f/16 or f/32, it's soft no matter what focal length. To be fair, I will submit I may not have sufficient digicam experience, as I am mostly a video guy. This may just be the way things are with the current imaging technology in RAW. To wit; I did side-by-side shoot with Canon Xti with EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 and EF 70-300 f/4-f5.6 vs The Panny with the kit 14-140 lens. I found the Canon slightly sharper overall, barely noticable up to 150mm (35mm equiv on both), and more noticably at telephoto --> but not as much as I expected. Frankly, I felt both to be soft. So maybe the perception of softness is due to the camera technology itself. These were all raw files compared in Adobe Bridge, no tweaking.

Another gripe as reflected by another reviewer is the camera's penchant in auto mode for selecting slow shutter speed when higher ISO would be more appropriate. Hopefully this will come as a firmware update. Panny has been pretty diligent with updating firmware for both the camera and the lens.

That said, I utterly love the video features. I mostly shoot in 720p60, since I shoot fast motion. I agree with the rolling shutter complaints on video, but overall they are not going to be noticed by most casual users. For those inclined to push the camera, there are hacks out there ([...]) that will give you 1080p at higher bit and frame rates. (1080p @50Mb fast enough for you?) I don't have the courage to risk bricking my camera, so can't comment on it.

As for price, I believe the camera is a fair value at 00. While I would have loved a brighter lens, I recognize the breakthru the stepless apeture lens represents (silent operation of the lens, critical for video) and while mostly plastic for reduced weight, overall build quality makes the camera a bargain. If you did the same thing with the Nikon D90, 5000 or Canon T1i, the two lenses you'd need to buy along with the body is within a couple hundred of the Panny's price. PLUS you'd need to drag around another lens (in a bag) OR buy a super zoom lens that itself weighs more than the Panny+Lens combo does.

What you need to know is in checking them ALL out, even the vaunted EOS5D MKII, the Panny IMO was easiest to just pick up and shoot good video with. I went down a zipline alternating rapidly between video and stills in auto mode. Also shot on moving horseback. The articulating screen in 16x9 proportion should not be underestimated. Yes the live view is jerky in low light, you lose detail in the electronic viewfinder (EVF), but can still frame ok... The EVF is not as bad as detractors make it out to be and the resulting video/still looks about as good as if it came from a comparable Canon/Nikon.

Amazingly, the video/photo even at ISO 1600 is not that bad... I no longer fear high ISO. GH1 does a nice job of smoothing camera noise at these speeds. I have to say, it's a fun camera to just plain shoot with. My wife, who cares not about her husband's obsession with depth of field, f-stops and focal lengths just puts it in auto and gets great results in both video and photo. You can achieve compositional creativity much quicker with this camera than the DSLR contenders IMO. It's a good camera for those who want to step up from the point/shoot, but feel intimidated by the DSLR's myriad of knobs and buttons.

Finally, while it's not the smallest/lightest camera in the world, the package IS small/light enough to make it acceptable to carry all over a theme park, or moutain trail for a 12 hour day. Without lens hood, it's about as tall as a Coke can and about like carrying a 12oz bottle of beer. When researching I was all set to buy a Nikon/Canon. But one thing that resonated on numerous forums was people talking about missing a shot beacuse they left the "too big/heavy" camera at home. I wanted a still/video camera I would carry and this is it. That's the bottom line, isn't it?

TIP: Look on Amazon for "bino buddy" it makes a great strap replacement for this camera. I've gone 20 miles on horseback, hiked and done other active outdoor activities with this rig.

Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras CustomerReview

After tons of browsing reviews for superzooms from Nikon, Sigma, and Tamron, I took a gamble on the Sigma for reasons I found all over the reviews: low distortion, HSM (focus), and bokeh. And below is what I found after using it for a while:

Pros:
1. The most surprising factor on a D90 body is that it is only slightly bigger than D90's kit lens 18-105mm VR, and therefore IT DOES NOT BLOCK THE FLASH! I was almost ready to squeeze some money for an external flash, but it was put on hold because the camera flash can work fine.
2. Virtually no lens creep (and there is a lock button in case it happens). Quality construction that is.
3. Nice bokeh, as usual Sigma lenses have creamy bokeh, which is a big plus for such zoom lenses.
4. When in manual focus, the focus ring is very smooth

Cons:
1. The biggest problem for me is no manual overriding the focus. Auto focus would lock the focus ring on the lens, and the ring actually would rotate when it is focusing. Only when switching to manual focus can I turn the focus ring.
2. As indicated in most reviews, the sharpness may not be optimal (I can only compare it to Nikon 18-105mm). BUT it is not that bad, even for a pixel peeper like me, I am fine with its sharpness most of the time when looking at it @100%.
3. OS functions kind of oddly (to me). The Nikon 18-105mm turns VR on only when I half-press the shutter, otherwise it is off. But Sigma 18-250mm seems to have it on for a certain time. When the camera is idle for some time, OS is then turned off, and you can hear it from the lens. Wondering if this is wasting more battery. Also as indicated in the reviews, the OS doesn't seem to be as solid as Nikon's or Tamron's stabalization. But of course, it's no big deal when you have a steady hand.

Overall, it's a 5 star for me. Good features, quality, price, and some minor cons. I was worried the most about its sharpness, but it turned out satisfactory. So I am very happy with it.

Olympus 202320 Horizontal Neoprene/Nylon Case (Black) CustomerReview

Yeah, I know it says Olympus and everything but I was looking for a small case for my new Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera (Black), and it fits perfectly in there. It's not a heavy duty case but it's good if you're looking to free up pocket space and still keep the cam on you. It has a nice magnet instead of velcro and 2 small pockets inside that can fit a memory card or a spare Zi8 battery (I checked).

One drawback for me is it doesn't have a slip on clip. Instead it has a loop that you have to feed your belt through which may be a little bit of a pain if you like to take the case off your belt a lot. But hey, for you can live with a drawback.

Leather would have been nice but this is good on a budget, not to mention that it feels pretty sturdy and strong, both the case and the nylon loop.

If you're looking for a case and don't want to slip the Zi8 into your pocket (where it was born to be), go with this one. Plus it's not bulky like other cases I've seen. The cam fits so snug in there it keeps the form of the Zi8. It may not be able to fit into your jean pocket as easily, but it is still sleak enough to fit into a baggy shorts pocket or jacket pocket without buldging out. It's as if it was made for it.

And if you don't like that it says Olympus on there, get yourself a lable maker and cover it up. Problem solved.

Definitely not your typical Kodak... easily 4.5 Stars out of 5

At 0, including delivery from Amazon, a fantastic bargain in a compact tele-zoom camera. With 12.1MP and 10x Optical zoom lens you get an effective 35mm-350mm focal range performance. Real solid build quality - only thing missing and found on the higher-end priced competition is a true "wide-angle" lens. Kodak should also consider upgrading to a higher quality resolution LCD for the live-view, especially noticeable in bright lights or direct sunlight since there's no view finder alternative. No need to worry or compensate for exposure or image quality - take the pix - trust it, you'll not be disappointed by the result.

Takeaways:
- ergonomics are good but somewhat bulky; however given the optics and capable P-A-S-M feature sets included (i.e. Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual shooting modes) makes this compact tele-zoom a terrific bargain and value
- especially liked the molded handgrip feature and material used in construction which aid in ease of use and feel
- camera showed very good resolution and detail in both still and HD 720p video, though in poor lighting the AF tended to be somewhat hesitant to respond
- battery life is good but Kodak should have included some type of SDHD card in the packaging since you need to purchase it separately and the internal memory quickly fills up with only a few pixs taken

If you can live without the wide-angle and somewhat bothersome display quality, there's nothing out there in the market at this price which offers all the features and performance as this camera. Period....

Tamrac 5502 Explorer 2 Camera Bag (Black) CustomerReview

This bag is perfect for my Panasonic FZ35 camera, even with the lens hood attached. It has room for the charger, extra battery, USB and video cables, and extra SD cards, along with any number of other accessories (filters, gum, whatever!)

It seems to be well made, and has a nicely cushioned shoulder strap. The top cover is easy to open, yet you can fasten it securely to protect the camera, even without necessarily closing the zipper.

A good buy!
