The Fujifilm Finepix S8000FD Digital Camera appears more as an SLR than a compact camera. It isn’t an SLR because, primarily, you can’t change lenses. Why would you need to? The Fujinon 18x Optical Zoom provides unprecedented flexibility in a digital-camera. With a 27mm-486mm equivalent, the need for additional zoom or wide angle lenses is gone – this extraordinary lens is all you need. A new feature found on Fuji cameras is the ability to use 3 memory card formats for wider universality. It also uses AA batteries as a power source. AA is readily available around the world.
Where ever you travel, that battery type is likely to be available, With audofocus and auto-exposure, it’s among the easiest cameras to use. Dual I(mage Stabilization assures sharpness despite unsteady hand movements. Face Detection helps determine proper exposure of people pictures.

The Panasonic Leica DMC-FZ7K 6MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom features a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens with a remarkable 12x optical zoom, equivalent to a 35 to 430 millimeter lens on a 35mm film camera. While a film camera with an optical zoom this powerful would be so big and heavy you couldn’t handle it with one hand, the digital Panasonic Leica DMC-FZ7K small, lightweight and easy to handle.
The camera also features Panasonic’s advanced MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer, which helps eliminate blurry pictures.
The Panasonic Leica DMC-FZ7K also features a large, 2.5-inch diagonal LCD and a Power LCD function. Simply touch the power LCD button, and the display becomes about 40 percent brighter for easier viewing on sunny days. The camera also has the world’s first developed high-angle LCD feature, which makes it easier to check the LCD when you need to hold the camera high over a crowd to take a shot.

While spending time with the family this Christmas you can capture those memories with the Fujifilm FinePix S2000Hd.

Face Detection instantly identifies faces and optimizes focus and exposure, ensuring attractive people pictures every time. Selectable red-eye removal automatically detects and corrects red-eye reflections, ensuring beautiful flash portraits and party pictures.
Experience even closer encounters with Nikon’s Coolpix P90, with 12.1 effective megapixels and an incredible 24x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens for stunning prints as large as 16×20 inches.
Nikon’s new 4 Way VR Image Stabilization makes incredible pictures incredibly easy. Nikon’s New Smart Portrait System, which automatically detects your subjects face, takes a picture when they smile and warns you if they blinked.
The camera also has several settings such as aperture or Shutter priority modes to assist with evenly regulating exposure making it easy to use for 1st timers. After reading the manual every picture i took came out in amazing quality. The tilt screen makes taking pictures at impossible angles easy. The 24 x zoom lets you take close ups from impossible lengths.
Improved Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings
Just set the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS to Smart AUTO and you’re ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It’s a relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that the camera has the technical details covered.
The PowerShot SX20 IS is equipped with a 20x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0-100mm.
The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera’s high 12.1 Megapixel resolution. UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens.
The Pentax X70 Megazoom digital camera features a high-magnification 24x optical zoom lens with wide-angle to super-telephoto coverage housed in a highly portable, compact, lightweight body. With 12 megapixels, SLR-like styling and flexible exposure modes, the Pentax X70 is a true bridge between compact digital cameras and digital SLRs. The X70 is the ideal camera for the intermediate to advanced shooter who wants to step up in form and function from digital compact offerings without the size, weight, and expense of a true DSLR camera.
Within a compact, lightweight body, the Pentax X70 features a high magnification optical 24x zoom lens offering a focal-length coverage between a wide-angle 26mm to a super telephoto 624mm (in the 35mm format). This is ideal for wide-angle scenic shots or group photos, as well as getting closer to the action at a sporting event. Coupled with the Intelligent Zoom function, the X70 zoom range may be extended to approximately 150 times (for a focal length of an astonishing approximately 3900mm in the 35mm format) without compromising the optical performance of the zoom lens.
With 12.0 megapixels, a high-performance imaging engine, and the high quality Pentax Megazoom lens, the X70 delivers super clear, high quality images in any shooting mode. Images at 12.0 megapixels are also suitable for printing at most large print sizes including 8×10, 11×17 and even larger poster size prints.
To shoot great photos, sometimes all you need is a different perspective. I don’t have any formal photography training, but I have gotten tips from professionals about doing whatever it takes to get an interesting shot. Sometimes that means moving around your subject to shoot it from different angles, climbing up onto something taller to get a better perspective, or even lying down on the ground and shooting upward.
One of my favorite photos is one I took last summer at Seattle’s Gasworks Park. It was a beautiful sunny day in the hilly park, and I was lying on my stomach at the base of a hill, reading a book. There was a row of five people sitting at the top of the hill, and another person up there flying a kite. The view I had from lying on my stomach was so cool: An expanse of green, rolling grass, brilliant blue sky, and an assortment of people enjoying the day. I pulled out my Canon Powershot digital camera and shot several photos while looking up the hill, varying the zoom and playing with different compositions of grass and sky. I ended up with a vibrant shot that captured both the detail of individual blades of grass and the enjoyment of park-goers in the summer – all because I shot it from a different perspective.
The Cheeseburger festival in Caseville Michigan is held in August. Ten days of cheeseburgers, events, a golf tournament, and yes drinking. I took my camera to the “Parade of Fools” on Wednesday at 6 P.M. and it lasted for over two hours. Quite a long and fun parade for a town of under a thousand souls. Every year the festival gets bigger and more people come to experience the madness for them selves.
This photo was taken during the parade with my old Sony Point and shoot. Which i use when i don’t want to lug around my Nikon DSLR.
The campgrounds and motels are packed so you had better plan ahead. If your hot and female you can stay at my place. 
So grab you camera and get out there and take some pictures. Who knows what will happen.
Whether the action is fast or slow, close up or far away, you’ll always get the shot you want with the PowerShot SX10 IS. This camera has an incredibly powerful 20x Optical Zoom, 10-megapixel resolution, and a DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high-performance face and motion detection.
Manual Focus
I liked the camera’s manual focus ability. When focusing manually, you see the focus area enlarged to help you fine-tune your focus and you also see the distance markings. Truth be told, I find manual focus rarely needed as the automatic focus works really well. Still, bulkier cameras with focus rings, e.g. Fuji S6000fd or real SLRs work best for fine-tuning focus at telephoto.
