Nikon P900 For Bird Photography (Birding)

When it comes to Bridge cameras, they are now widely accepted as the more versatile and affordable option for a large majority of non-professionals when it comes to features, zooming capabilities and image quality for the price. So many people want just one camera that can do it all, and with a good Bridge camera, that is basically what you get. Don't get me wrong, just like with DSLR's and everything in between, there's still a mountain of poor Bridge cameras to sift through to find the really good ones. But do some research online, read lots of reviews, and I'm sure you'll discover some of the true greats that are out there from brands like Nikon, Canon and Panasonic. All images in this post were taken with a Nikon P900 There are so many fantastic models to choose from, but not many really blow you away like the Nikon COOLPIX P900 does. Fair enough, it has no RAW option, is rather bulky (although not overly heavy), the battery life could be better, and is ...

A 16MB SD Memory Card

Yes, you read correct. A 16MB SD card. These days 16MB is tiny. It's crazy to think there was a time when it was the latest thing, and biggest capacity available. Although I don't think it remained that way for very long. I think these SD cards were supplied for free with cameras that came with no internal memory. I received one of these cards with a Canon PowerShot S2 IS bridge camera I recently bought. The camera wouldn't work, or a least couldn't take a picture until the 16MB memory card was inserted. A genuine Canon SDC card So I presume this is one of the earlier digital camera models that came with no internal memory and had to be supplied with an SD card to get the user started. I believe this storage size is still used in some games consoles, such as the Nintendo WII and Game Cube. And by the looks of things on eBay, still very sought after. Anyway, back to SD cards and cameras. How many pictures can a 16MB SD card hold That is solely dependant on th...

Nikon P1100 Release Date

As of right now, there is limited information available regarding the release date of the Nikon P1100 camera. Nikon, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality cameras, has not made any public announcements regarding the specific release date of this particular model. However, it is expected that the Nikon P1100 might be released in the near future, building on the success of its predecessor, the Nikon P1000. The release date of a new camera model can be influenced by various factors, including manufacturing processes, product testing, and market demand. Camera companies like Nikon usually follow a product cycle, wherein they release updated versions of their existing models at regular intervals. Given the popularity of the Nikon P900 and P1000 , it is reasonable to assume that Nikon will launch the P1100 sooner rather than later, taking into account customer feedback and technological advancements. To predict the release date of the Nikon P1100, one can look at his...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 Review

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 "Review". The massive increase in people selling their old point and shoot cameras is at an all-time high thanks to so many people now having a Smartphone capable of taking high quality pictures. I can't tell you how many eBay listing descriptions of people selling cameras I've read that say something along the lines of "don't use it anymore, I've got my phone for taking pictures". All images / content Copyright © Still Paused This trend is not just having an impact on people selling their old point and shoot or Bridge cameras either, it's actually affected the whole camera industry. Camera sales are down across the board, that's all cameras, of all shapes and prices. Smartphones are the main reason. I suppose its just the progression of technology combined with convenience. Why carry around a stand-alone camera. Especially if you're just taking pictures for your own interests, if you have a Smartphone that ...

Astrophotography Images By Camera Type

From the Northern Lights, to Constellations and shooting the Moon, Astrophotography can be very exciting. Let's also not forget about UFO's, too, which seem to be getting photographed and filmed more than ever these days. The skies are filled with weird and wonderful imagery that's just waiting to be seized in time by you and your camera. When people think about amateur Astrophotography they usually associate it with expensive DSLRs. But DSLR's, while offering superb clarity for Astro scenes, can be the most expensive way to get started in this sector of photography. You see, most of the cheaper DSLRs come with a standard kit lens. This will not be able to offer much in the way of an extensive zoom range if you want to, for example, get some nice close up shots of the moon. Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) with what looks to be some pixel damage, taken with a Nikon-D50 So you will more than likely have to buy an additional lens, one with a much better zoom r...

Blurred Image In EVF View Finder Fix

If you've just bought a digital camera that has an electronic view finder (EVF), and you have looked through the electronic view finder and discovered that the screen is all blurred and out of focus, there is an easy fix. For someone new to cameras, they may think that what they have bought is faulty. However, most of the time this is not the case. This "problem" is usually down to the Diopter being in need of adjustment. Some symptoms of this are: The EVF screen is blurry but the actual produced images, if shooting using auto focus, are still pretty sharp. But they won't be perfect if you are using the EVF when taking pictures because you are working with an out-of-focus inner screen. Even worse, taking pictures using manual focus will be a disaster, all of them will be out of focus. What and where is the Diopter The Diopter is a little dial / wheel type scroller that sits to the side of the electronic view finder. It controls the sharpness and focus of what y...

Canon PowerShot S2 IS Memory Card Error

The memory card error associated with the Canon PowerShot S2 IS is fairly widespread. I recently bought an S2 IS and had this problem myself. I have now fixed it, and I will tell you what I did in a moment. That's not to say what fixed it for me will work for everyone who experiences this memory card issue. However, it's certainly worth a try. First off, the Canon PowerShot S2 IS will only hold memory cards up to 2GB. That is the maximum size it can hold. So if you have inserted a 4GB SD card, your problem, or error message is due to the card being too big. If you have stayed within the size boundaries (2GB or less) and the camera is still displaying a card error, here is what fixed it for me. Take the SD card out and put it into another camera. For me the other camera was a Samsung WB500 [ Read about it here ]. Format the card when its inside the other camera. Now place it back in the S2 IS and it should now work fine. That worked for me. Another option if you have a d...

Panasonic Lumix FZ50 Sample Photos

The Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ50 is one of a few great older bridge cameras. The FZ50 is somewhat of a legend in some photography circles. It was way ahead of its time when it was first released well over a decade ago. But despite its age, it can still hold its own against much newer bridge cameras that people rave about today. Don't get me wrong, its not perfect, no camera is. But overall it's a very capable camera that has an excellent lens, lots of features, and is nice and easy to use. Reviews are also extremely positive from end-users. I've got the silver version. Some people prefer this model, as I think its considered as a bit more rare, a limited edition. But I would have preferred the black version to be honest. They are both nice, though, so no big deal. These are some sample photos taken by me with the Panasonic FZ50, which are not enhanced or edited in any way other than made smaller. Most are me just snapping away in "P" mode using autofocus. Of co...

Canon IXUS 127 Super Vivid Sample

Here is a quick picture sample of the Canon IXUS 127 HS ( Read a review on this camera) in super vivid mode. Some image subject look better than others. However, all are very colourful. The wild plant image below looks good without zooming in, but upon zooming in there is a blue hue around the outline of many of the leaves and the purple flower. Still not bad though for a cheap point and shoot camera.

Canon S2 IS First Impressions "Review"

First impressions. Those two words seems quite funny considering how old this camera now is. But I have recently purchased an S2, so they are relevant. This is certainly not an in-depth review on the Canon Powershot S2 IS, but more of a quick review / first impressions of what I like and dislike about this camera. First I'll cover what I don't like about this camera. Straight shooting: All images in this post (there's not many), except the ones of the camera itself, were taken with the S2 and have not been edited / enhanced in any way what so ever other than resized (made smaller). What's not so good Well, the two errors consisting of the memory card error issue and " change battery pack " message have been slightly annoying (now fixed). Although neither of them have been difficult to fix and don't present a serious problem really, so they are more of an annoyance than anything else. The electronic view finder (EVF). while it is an old camera...
