The introduction of digital image sensors has brought in a revolutionary change in the world of photography by making the delicate films and the nasty process of its development obsolete. The new development in high density image sensors and high speed image processors opens a wide new world of opportunities to photographers. The latest Nikon D5200 24.1 MP DSLR is the best example of a modern age digital camera.
The Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 is more of a consumer-grade digital camera that is still able to produce some nice photographs and take a lot of damage (in the form of drops, water, cold weather, etc.) without breaking. If you’re in need of a durable digital camera that can take some high-quality and high-resolution photos and videos (up to 720p HD for the latter), give this practically amazing yet highly affordable digital camera a try for yourself.
I wish we had low cost fisheye digital cameras but alas we have to settle for 35mm film cameras. Lomography makes some nice retro looking cameras and this one is no exception. This Fisheye One Black is the world’s only camera with a built-in fish-eye lens.
This camera produces super-wide-angle images (170 degree view) and compacts everything into a circular image. The distorted images that emerge can be amusing and/or artistic in the right conditions. There is a built in flash so you can use this indoors or at night. It uses normal 35mm film that can be developed at Walmart or wherever else you choose.
Panasonic has released their smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system digital camera, the Lumix DMC-GF2. It’s a 12.1 MP camera with a built in flash that is a nice blend between a DSLR and point and shoot. The lens used is in the micro thirds format which is more compact but more expensive. This camera is also compatible with Panasonic’s new 3D interchangeable lens which means you can take 3D photos.
This Canon Powershot is 12MP point and shoot camera worth around $100. That’s what I call a good bang for your buck. As time progresses these small cameras are approaching the quality of larger SLR cameras. I’m not saying this specific camera is that good, but within a few years we’ll be there. Now let’s get back to the review of the Canon PowerShot SD1300.
Let’s talk pictures. The SD1300 can shoot pictures at a maximum resolution of 4,000 x 3,000 pixels and the videos are 640×480 at 30fps. If you want to print an original large picture your prints can be as big as 13″x18″.
The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a 12.1 Megapixel resolution super zoom digital camera. This Cannon model extends the capabilities of the PowerShot series into the range of an SLR type camera. This camera is ideal for photographers that want more control over images, but are not quite ready for a full digital SLR camera.
