Why you should try Canon PowerShot S90?

August 27th, 2010

Last month I brought a brand new Canon PowerShot S90 and camera accessories from online store in a combined offer as a digital camera bundle. One thing I would like to say is, this really saved me lots of bucks and few hours. Before buying this camera I did some research and read some very good reviews about this product and 5 star ratings on couple of online stores. Now after using this camera for one month, I can say that I didn’t make any mistake by buying this awesome camera. After looking on the pictures clicked by this camera you can’t say that these pictures are clicked by compact point in shoot camera. Picture clarity is too good and can be easily compared with high end camera photographs.

One of the good thing about this camera is it small and compact size. With its small size of  100 x 58 x 31 mm, you can easily carry it in your pocket. No need to carry additional camera back. Also the camera is light weight and it ways just above 150gm. This Canon PowerShot S90 comes with the shock resistant technology and clicking photograph is so easy that even a beginner can click the photo (even I fall under this category). You can adjust al the possible setting to click your photograph based on the surroundings and picture size/photo mode. With its wide angle technology on board you can easily click the landscape photographs in the highest quality.

The output of the camera is really good with hardly any sign of noise. The battery life of this camera is around 300 photographs with a fully charged battery and the 3-inch LCD has a crystal clear clarity. Too good to have tis quality on board for this category camera. The build quality of the camera is very good and the camera appears to be made up of some high quality material.

I would just like end here by saying that if you use this camera once, You will surely love it !!!!!

The Technical 3D Scanner

August 3rd, 2010

A 3D scanner is an amazing piece of equipment that is capable of producing 3 dimensional digital images of an object. In short it can turn a physical model into a 3 dimensional digital picture. At present, the entertainment industry is perhaps the place where it is used the most. This allows the technicians to do more realistic special effects by taking pictures of objects that cannot be used in real life. This way it is possible to recreate it as many times it is needed for a scene. It is not only in the film industry, the video game industry also makes use of 3D scanners on a regular basis.

Other areas where this type of technology is used is in industrial design, prosthetic design, reverse engineering and for the preservation of historical artifacts. Valuable historical and archeological artifacts may need to be preserved and in doing so correct technical data such s the exact dimensions will be needed. When prosthetics are made exact measurements are needed to recreate the object. In reverse engineering a specific part may need to be faithfully recreated. For all of these actions 3d scanners can take precision engineering and manufacturing to new heights.

A 3D scanner is similar to a regular digital camera. The similarities are, they both will have cone shaped views and you can only take pictures of unobstructed objects. The difference between the 2 is that the finished product will obviously be different. 3D scanners take pictures by creating a set of points around the object being scanned or photographed. Afterwards these images are extrapolated by a process known as reconstruction.

There are several different types of 3D scanners. One scanner is called a coordinate measuring machine and it does the job by coming into physical contact with the object being scanned. Visual scanners on the other hand use light, X-ray and ultra sound to help create 3D image

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 Review

August 1st, 2010

Panasonic are very well known for making quality digital cameras, one of there newer models called Lumix DMC ZS7 is no exception to that rule.

With optical zooms on digital cameras increasing seemingly every month it is no surprise that the DMC ZS7 boasts a large 12x optical zoom.

The DMC ZS7 features a Venus Engine HD II processor with face detection technology and the capability of capturing video. With a built in GPS receiver and stereo sound it really has many more features than a normal digital camera . The LCD monitor is 3 inches and the digital lens which is an extremely high quality Leica DC Vario Elmar lens is 25mm equivalent to 35mm film.

The picture quality of the DMC ZS7 is amazing which is partly due to the Leica lens which is a top performer when is comes to lenses for cameras. The built in memory of the ZS7 is 15mb and it supports SD, SDHC and the new ultra high capacity SDXC memory card. The battery life of the camera lasts for approximately 300 shots. You should be aware that the GPS checks its position every 15 minutes and if left on this can drain the battery at a higher rate than just taking pictures.

More experienced photographers will appreciate the Happy Mode option which adds a vivid color filter to all the photos and video.

The menus inside the DMC ZS7 are very easy to navigate and there is a quick menu option for making common menu changes like image size and ISO. The start up of the camera is quite quick as it only takes a few seconds from turning it on to be ready for taking pictures.

Overall a highly recommended camera from the digital camera giants Panasonic. Many positive reviews so far on this product have made it one of the best selling cameras so far in 2010!
