Customer Reviews

Good value; somewhat frustrating to operate2006-02-09
I went on a vacation where I knew I was going to do a lot of snorkeling and I looked at various options for underwater photography. I decided on this one, and was delighted with the results for the most part. The photos are better than the ones that I took with my good digital camera in an underwater housing. As long as there was good light, I got good shots. The downsides: because there is nothing "sticking out" that indicates where the lens is, we ended up with quite a few photos with our fingers in front of the lens. Also, it is entirely manual to load and unload the film. That was a little tricky every time I reloaded the film. But once I got it working, it did fine. Manually rewinding the film was frustrating because it would get stuck and I was constantly afraid that it wouldn't be finished rewinding and I would end up exposing my film accidentally. Those issues aside, this is a good alternative to the disposable underwater cameras.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.

They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
