Samsung today introduced four models of its digital camera line SL-Series, SL820 and SL620, 12.2 megapixels, and SL202 and SL30 than 10 megapixels. All models except the SL30, which only has Face Detection and Beauty Shot, have the features Face Detection, Blink Detection, Smile Shot and Beauty Shot.

Face Detection detects up to 9 faces in a photo, Blink Detection takes two pictures in rapid succession in the event that any person has closed his eyes at the time of collection, the Smile Shot automatically takes the picture when it detects a smile, and finally the Beauty Shot help us out loveliest automatically tweaking the brightness and tone the skin.

The characteristics of each are:
Samsung SL820
The SL820 has a 3 “screen, 12.2-megapixel resolution, 5X optical zoom, Optical Image Stabilization and Digital Image. It also records video in HD at 720p, has HDMI connectivity and H.264 video compression. The SL820 is available in black and gray from May at a price of USD $ 280..

Samsung SL620
Like the SL820, the SL620 has 3 “screen, 12.2-megapixel resolution, 5X optical zoom, Optical Image Stabilization and Digital Image. The difference is that the latter only records video in VGA quality at 30fps. The SL820 is available in black and gray from March priced at $ 200.

Samsung SL202
Unlike its predecessors, the SL202 has only 10 megapixels of resolution, screen 2.7 “3X optical zoom and digital image stabilizer. An interesting feature is that you can pause the video recording and then resume creating a single video file. As supply uses a lithium-ion rechargeable battery, something many users are not convinced. The SL202 is available in black and gray from March priced at USD $ 150.

Samsung SL30
The SL30 has almost the same characteristics as the SL202, with the difference that has a screen of 2.5 “and uses two AA batteries as power. The SL202 is available in black and gray from March priced at USD $ 100.

We have among us the vaunted Nikon D5100 , and although its basic characteristics were known, this new SLR for fans pleasantly surprised us. Needless to say, the sensor is the same as the spectacular rides and Nikon D7000.

But first let’s focus on the most prominent of the new Nikon D5100 . The video mode to 1080 and the articulated LCD screen with a new horizontal movement.

Important camera sensor
Although the body design remains virtually unchanged compared to the D5000 model that comes to pass, the new Nikon D5100 up a notch in quality thanks to the processor EXPEED 2 and especially the 16-megapixel sensor that directly inherits its powerful big sister.

The focusing system of 11 points or sensitivity ISO of up to 25600 in forced (6400 without force) are other features you should know. Details like the burst of 4 frames per second are kept intact and placed in this chamber, despite improvements in the range of camera for amateurs but a step ahead of the input.

The video mode can record with quality 1080p (30, 25 and 24 fps) and continued focus , in format MOV and extra power to connect an external microphone that could be the new stereo model Nikon has filed with the camera. One detail that we liked is the placement of the video record button near the trigger and not in the controls around the screen.

Nikon D5100 and its new retractable screen
If photography is much appreciated having a moving screen that allows us to maximize the direct visualization of the LiveView system with the new camera that recorded video is almost a must.

The Nikon D5100 could not miss that appointment, it so does a new screen almost complete articulated motion (adding the horizontal axis), which gives it a very outstanding creative freedom is promoted by a kind of “special effects”.

In addition, the display of the Nikon D5100 reaches the magic number and that we like the million-pixel resolution for a size of 3 inches .

Still do not know the release date or price market, but will keep you informed because surely that will be a blockbuster of this 2011.

Another good choices in the market for compact digital cameras is the Samsung SL30, which has a sober design with rounded edges that make it very manageable and quite comfortable. This camera has a 10.2-megapixel CDD sensor and a 3x optical zoom, allowing us to get close enough to capture great pictures. It also has a digital image stabilization, which greatly reduces the effect of blurring, which are seen when the hand moves the person operating the camera.

The SL30 Samsung Camera is a fairly comprehensive in its segment and with a price of U.S. $ 89.99, which translate directly into the cheapest market in price / performance ratio. It has a fairly complete system approach, consisting of a face detection technology can automatically search up to 3 individual faces and an optimization approach, color and exposure, to achieve truly amazing photos of our most cherished memories. In addition to this the SL30 Samsung has the ability to achieve natural, brighter pictures with SED technology and also has DIS that allows us to capture pictures in low light, eliminating the blur effect and allowing us also to get clear pictures without the need to use the flash.

The Samsung SL30 has a 2.5-inch LCD high-resolution allows us not only look at our photographs, but also make basic edits in a comfortable and effective from the same camera. Has a high ISO sensitivity to reduce the spread in our photographs. more…

After months of rumors and tantalizing teach photography fairs prototypes Olympus has not disappointed this week to present the Olympus Pen EP-1 , probably the prettiest camera on the market. Only the elite range of Leica M makes shadow. Although the newcomer will be sold in July for a price much lower than those of the German firm: about 800 euros with a 14-42mm lens.

Truly making this beautiful machine is not only his meticulous appearance. The key is to be found within this beautiful enclosure, since it has a technology that makes it the first truly mature digital compact . We have not been able to have her hands but we fear that if there is one thing that stands out the EP-1 is to have personality, personality.

The slogan with which Olympus sells – “It’s not a compact. Not a SLR. It is a Pen’, has nothing to bluff, because this camera is all a nod to those who look askance at the poor quality of many compact and for the world want to carry a DSLR, however slight it may be.

The strong personality of the machine is because he follows the trail of a camera concept devised in 1959 , the last Pen analogue was made ​​in the 80 -. The great merit of Olympus with PD-1 has been to regain control of this series without the result is an exercise in melancholy beauty . Like its predecessors, is designed for all those fans, and some other professional, who want to make good photos, and video recording, without having to carry around a sophisticated but heavy SLR. more…

aster is over and we resumed our special where we are trying to learn how to buy a camera, whether we want a compact, a bridge, one of the new EVIL , or an SLR.

In the last post talking so much about the megapixels as the objective , and study the important features to consider when buying.

Today we move forward, and discuss two important characteristics: the LCD screen and the viewfinder.

3. LCD screen
The screen LCD will be useful to review your images, navigate menus, configuring the camera, etc …

If the camera has no optical viewfinder, will also serve to frame the pictures, so it is important to be of a size considerably, at least 2.5 to 3 inches. On this occasion pixels if they are important because they will give more definition to the picture you see, so the more pixels the screen the better. more…

Undoubtedly What camera should I buy? is one of the most recurring questions, and send us the most, when someone asks for advice on topics of photography. A question, difficult answer, even more so, a priori, we know the concerns of those who posed photo.

So today we do, again, an effort to try to steer the difficult decision that any fan will come at some point in their lives gadgetera.

Try to make a structure, feature by feature , with emphasis on what we look for in terms of what ye like, you find your ideal camera.

1. Megapixels
See, I’ve said many times, the megapixel is not the most important feature of a camera , therefore, ignored, relatively, this feature. Nearly all cameras on the market currently exceed the 10 megapixels , more than enough for any normal user.

Megapixels, the final analysis, the only thing we provide is the final size of the photo, so you should only have it in mind if you plan to make enlargements of your photos. And when I say big enlargements, I do not mean photos 20 × 30, but really large prints (poster size, and up).

The only benefit we can bring extra megapixels to spare have the opportunity to reframe the photos to post our favorite editing program, which again is a consequence of size.

What we look for when buying?

Well, when buying a camera, the megapixels we just take them into account. If we seek a compact or bridge, 8-10 megapixels are more than enough and probably the sensor provides a better response than if we opt for more.

In an SLR is different, but not much, 10-12 megapixels is also sufficient for 95% of users, unless you pretend papering our room with the photos, but I think that is the case.

2. The objective

The goal, however, if it is a very important point to consider and we need to look at several things:

The focal range is, which is the lowest position and maximum zoom position, which will give us the coverage we have with the camera. If we cover a lot of field of view look low numbers (the lower, more field of view) and if we take pictures at a distance, look for high numbers. Always have to look at the 35mm equivalent focal range , to compare the different cameras.
For example, a camera with 24-120mm focal range covering more field of view that a 36-180mm, if however, the latter, will go further when we focus on a distant object.

The optical zoom , which is given by the focal length of which we spoke before the zoom is sold to us by manufacturers. If we continue with the examples above, the 24-120 mm lens will have a 5X zoom (24 × 5 = 120), as well as the 36-180 mm (36 × 5 = 180), however, has more angular (more coverage) and a more telephoto (we can frame distant objects).
For all that is important to know that our goal has focal range, so being able to choose, what your interest, a good angle, a good TV or a consolidation of the two.

On the other hand, always set at the focal lengths and optical zoom, digital zoom ever , it is useless (if you stretch professional is how to post the picture on the PC and recortáis).

The brightness is the third point to consider in order, especially if we like to take photos in poor light conditions, or do not like using the flash.
And as we know the brightness of the lens? because through the f number, which you can also see in front of the lens and the camera features. The lower the f number, the greater the amount of light entering the sensor and therefore less light you need. And against greater numbers f, less light will be.

In this feature no doubt, the lighter the better, although it is a feature that is often enough to affect the price of the camera.

Finally we also need to know the quality of the lens , which is ultimately the most influential features in picture quality, but this is a tricky point. The most reliable, is perhaps, first check out the photos at full size online, in flickr for example, or in the pages that perform in-depth analysis, and other trust mark of outstanding quality, as Leica or any of the big names in photography.
What we look for when buying?

For once we know the characteristics of the objectives seem clear, but for that we need to know what type of photography we like it or intend to do.

If you like landscape photography, for example, look very wide angle lenses. If we use a lot of the camera in low light (indoors, night shots, etc..) Seek a fast lens (low F values). If you want a versatile camera, look for a camera with optical zoom focal range covering much, etc …

This time we made a classification of different types of cameras in relation to photographic film format, its viewfinder and the exposure mode.

Let’s begin then with the classification of different types of cameras:

Types of cameras in relation to film format

Here we can distinguish:
• low
up to 35 mm.

• Medium Format
6 cm wide.
There are 4 types of cameras
- 6 x 4.5 cm.
- 6 x 6 cm.
- 6 x 7 cm.
- 6 x 9 cm.

• Large Format
The cameras accept such measures
- 12 x 18 cm.
- 9 x 12 cm.
- 20 x 25 cm.

As can be seen for each format there are specific types of cameras, except for some who accept the format 6 x 6 and 6 x 4.5.

The relationship between format and quality is as follows: + + format = quality photo This is explained because the higher the lower the expanded format is to be made to the photograph. more…
