Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)

The Olympus digital camera is designed to provide easy access to all most used features, such as Flash settings as well as delete with the touch of one simple button. Printing pictures has also been simplified often requiring no cables to connect; thus, turning files into photos is also incredibly easy.

With expanded capabilities, there are no limits to what one can do with Olympus digital cameras; add-on lenses, flashes and underwater housing are a few among many options.

This collection delivers smart solution for the superior "digital framing" of your digital pictures taken with digital camera or other digital creations within the computer environment. You can frame your pictures in your preferred photo editing software, then print off or enjoy them framed in digital format on your computer screen or other media.

Much of my work involves shooting photos for newspapers and business journals. When I show up for an assigned photo shoot, I often find my subjects as interested in the camera I use as they are in having me take their picture.

Admittedly, my professional single lenses reflex camera makes a good appearance. It is relatively large and heavy, has an impressive zoom lenses with a vibration reduction feature to keep it steady, a big battery pack, and a compact speed light that can brighten up the darkest room.

The camera envy often dissipates though when they ask what an outfit like that costs, and I tell them more than $3,000. What novice camera enthusiasts don't recognize is that this kind of professional equipment is way more than they need for good photos of family, vacation views and scenic landscapes.

Experience has taught me that when buying a new digital camera six points things should be kept in mind.

1. Basic camera types
The two main types of cameras, from lower-cost to higher-end is point-and-shoot and SLR (single lenses reflex). In the point-and-shoot end, the view is usually through a view finder which gives the photographer a good idea of what will be on the final photo. The SLR lets you look right through the lens to compose a photo exactly as you want the final view to look.

2. Size and ease of use
Do you want to be able to shove the camera in a pocket, purse or tote bag to have it handy whenever you want to whip it out? Or, ask yourself if you would mind a heavier camera that should be kept in its own leather pouch? Consider how heavy a camera might feel after having it hang around your neck or on a shoulder strap fora couple of hours. Can you just whip it out and shoot your photo, or do must you make adjustments in settings? You photo opportunity might be gone by the time you fiddle with dials and settings.

3. Pixels versus your end product
A few years ago, the amount of pixels (which determines the amount of digital information captured), governed the cost. One or two megapixel cameras were fine for viewing photos on a computer screen and sharing over the internet. If you are going to be satisfied just getting 4-inch by 6-inch prints, anything over two megapixels will meet you needs.

If you want to have enlargements made to hang on the wall or in a picture frame, you should look for a camera with four megapixels or better. The more information a camera can capture (megapixels), the higher the quality of an enlargement will be. Today, with technology advances and competition for new camera buyers, even moderately priced cameras have six-to eight-megapixel sensors.

4. What's your budget?
Just like cars, cameras can come with a ton of options. Be careful, though, that don't get stuck with more camera than you can afford. While the high-end cameras offer the best zoom and more megapixels, that doesn't always mean a better photo, and the added features can take a huge bite out of your wallet if you are not careful.

It is probably better to start out with a low-end camera and concentrate on learning the basics of good photography. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the results in your family snapshots if you follow the tips in one of the beginner photo instruction books found everywhere.

5. My biggest piece of advice
The best photos last for only and instant. Good photographers can learn to watch for expression, a good pose and just the right angle. Inevitably, I can get a better photo that someone standing next to me with a low-end point-and-shoot. That's because of lag time.

When I see just the expression or pose I want, I press the shutter button and the reaction time of the camera is as close to instantaneous as possible. Point and shoot cameras vary in the time they take to focus and respond to the press of the shutter button. Often, a pre-flash is needed to measure the amount of light needed to capture a subject in an indoor setting. It's not unusual for a second or two lag time in some cameras - long enough that more shots are lost than captured just right.

Study the technical specifications and consider that shutter lag time, or ask a competent sales person to help you find the best camera, weighing that lag time against cost. Better to give up other features to get a fast response from your camera's shutter.

6. Final advice
Spend time on the internet and do your homework. There are a myriad of sales, review and educational sites that will give you all the information you need to make a wise decision. Before going to see a camera store sales person, or before ordering over the internet, educate yourself.

The time you spend in that advance research will help you make the best of all decisions in you camera purchase.

Photographs are an integral part of life. Thanks to photography, people can document every aspect of their life. These days, it is common to have friends who post photos of their wedding, vacation, new children, etc. on a blog or photo sharing website. Photography has certainly embraced the digital age. While digital photography has some major advantages over conventional photography, the old median should not be forgotten. And those who are not familiar with it should check out the new median of printing pictures on canvas.

The reason that the digital photography median is so popular is because most everyone has access to a digital camera in some form or other. Practically everyone has a cell phone and practically every cell phone sold today also has a digital camera embedded in it. And stand alone digital cameras and their necessary accessories like memory cards are dropping in price every single day. Digital photographs are also extremely easy to share with anyone, anywhere in the world. You do not have to wait for the photographs to be processed. Since they are digital, they are available instantly. Some cameras even have a screen so the photos can be viewed right after they are shot. Digital photographs can be posted to websites, sent through e-mails, or sent directly to another person through a chat application such as iChat.

Although digital photographs are extremely convenient in many senses, there is still something to be said about a photograph that is printed on paper, and can be held, placed in an album, or put in a frame. Most people would rather leave out bound photo albums on the coffee table in the living room for guests to peruse than leave out their computer and have a guest searching their computer for image files. Printed photographs are also much more appropriate to give as gifts.

Although e-mailing somebody a photograph is a thoughtful gesture, I don't think anyone would consider it to be a gift. A new and exciting median that is especially appropriate for gift giving is printing pictures on canvas. It is now possible to take almost any digital photograph and place it on the same material that one might find an elegant oil painting painted on. All printing pictures on canvas are done by hand. That is, all the sealing and stretching is done by hand.

Besides being a neat and unique gift, photographs on this median can last as long as one hundred years when kept in museum conditions. That is much longer than any print photograph will last. Even digital files can become corrupted. And hard drives can break and burn out. Most computers can barely last a couple of years, let alone one hundred years!

To have a picture converted into this median can be done for as little as twenty-five dollars for an eight-inch by ten-inch picture. A twenty-inch by thirty-four inch picture cost approximately one hundred dollars. That's only one dollar per year for a picture that will last a century.

More and more professional photographers are discovering the amazing new method of printing photos on canvas, rather than on paper, every day. And once they try it and see the result, they swear by canvas as the best and most cost-effective method for printing photos.

Printing on canvas has many benefits for the quality-conscious photographer. Switching to canvas means a guaranteed increase in profits and the finest, top-quality prints that last longer than you would believe. No other method will allow you to save as much. It is also easy to achieve if you outsource to a reputed professional company. Just try it once; you will never want to go back to paper again.

Let's look at the benefits of this method. Matt canvas brings out the best colours in your photo without the artificial look that you would get with photo paper. Its unique, natural texture is impossible to recreate with any other material. It's also a time-tested method: painters have used canvas for centuries. These beautiful works of art painted on canvas have lasted much beyond their own lifetime and they still retain their beautiful colours. Its quality, durability and effectiveness have been proven time and time again.

Now you might think that it would be impossible to print photos on canvas, but that has become easier and easier with the advent of new photo-printing technology: you can easily print them on any wide format printer.

But the difficult part of using canvas is the stretching: canvas-printed photographs have to be stretched over a frame and wrapped around the sides and the back. This is a delicate process because many things could go wrong. A sealer has to be applied to make the canvas more malleable and the canvas has to be stretched by hand across a special frame. Each part of the process of stretching requires extreme care.

Because of this little detail, many photographers choose not to use this method and thus lose out on the great profits they could be making. But don't worry, you don't need to learn how to stretch canvas by yourself. It can be outsourced to a professional canvas printing company for very little cost and great savings. By outsourcing to a reputed company, you also don't have to worry about the quality of the materials or of the final print, since they are assured. Many companies in this line of work offer the best service, with the best materials, and utmost professionalism with a full money back guarantee. What their customers appreciate more about the service is the human touch. They can be sure their prints are done by experienced professionals who take care of their print at every stage of its creation, not just by a machine.

Imagine a photo print that is good enough to display in a museum and that will last a lifetime. Now imagine that the costs of printing the photo are less than any other method available. Canvas printing by a professional company offers this and more. Would you choose any other material?

Try it for yourself with one of your photos!

This is a great product, easy to use. Now I can see my favorite photos with a touch of a button!

While analyzing any camera, one of the most important qualities of a photograph that a person seeks, is resolution. This word itself needs a brief discussion before progressing onto its implication upon a digital camera. This is a word that seems to almost every new photographer as a nightmare. With all the myths and irrelevant information circulating all around, this is quite common. This however is an effort to clear those misty myths and provide good information for everyone. Without any complexity, generally a photograph, either viewed on the screen or printed, is composed of infinitesimal dots (called pixels). The greater amount of these dots that can fit per inch of space, the smaller the dots and the sharper the image. This is the basis of understanding ... resolution!

Considering an image at 100 dots per inch that is one square inch in size. It is comprised of 100 X 100 pixels. Now changing this image four-times to four square inches. This image is quite clear. Now the same 100 X 100 dots exist, but with only 25 dots per inch. The appearance becomes grainy. This is the factor know as resolution that determines this quality of image. Hence it can now be interpreted by any person what the importance of resolution is and where it is required in the filed of photography. While purchasing a digital camera, resolution is a very important factor to take into account when settling upon buying a particular one.

Digital camera resolution comes in as Mega pixels. A Mega pixel is composed of one million pixels. The greater the number of Mega pixels, the greater becomes the standard of quality of the photograph or picture. As a standard, one mega pixel is the minimum bottom line below which a digital camera must not be usually purchased. This is a general decided value for any amateur photographers also, and the exact value of higher mega pixels is not a concern for people who do not intend to print the photographs. In an effort to scrutinize the pixels in an image out of sheer anxiety, a person can magnify the display in a photo editor, like a little magnifying glass, and they become very much visible!

The resolution decides the ultimate the future of the hard copy of a photograph being taken, whether a digital camera or a conventional camera. A print from a high-resolution photograph challenges anything produced from a chemical film camera. However a low-resolution image print of a photograph is quite appalling with fine details and restrained color transitions absent resulting from too few pixels. Thus the resolution can spoil an entire effort to freeze a memorable moment. Thus it is so vital. As a general rule a minimum of 200 pixels are required for each linear inch of a print. However, some printers get better results with 300 pixels per-inch of resolution.

The above discussion has brought into light a lot of relevant information regarding resolution and its application in the digital camera and photography. Also in the concluding lines it can only be stated for digital camera ... resolution is the real soul!

The Leica digital camera reviews will include the C-LUX 2, which runs about $450. This camera has 7.2 megapixels with three times optical zoom. This camera is very similar to Panasonics DMC- FX30. It is a very easy-to-use camera is lightweight, compact and has image stabilization. The only downfall to this camera is it uses a custom Liton battery, which could cost you some money if you need to replace it. This camera does not need a viewfinder because it offers a two and a half inch viewing screen so you can see exactly what you are shooting.

Other Leica digital camera reviews include the D-LUX 3, Digilux 3, M8 and the V-LUX1. The Digilux 3 and the M8 have very high price tags. The Digilux 3 is SLR digital camera with 7.5 megapixels and a two and a half inch viewing screen. The nice thing about this camera is it can hold a memory card larger than two gigabytes. This camera has the ability to shoot three frames per second.

The M8 camera is a 10.3 megapixels camera that has a price of fifty-four hundred dollars. This camera is not for the beginning photographer. The performance of this camera is outstanding. This camera does not have autofocus, so the user will need to know the fundamentals of photography and camera use.

Leica digital camera reviews help you find a camera that has very little to no problems. It also tells you about the features, function and any accessories that come with the camera. The reviews can help you find the perfect camera. If you read the reviews, you will be able to compare other cameras and decide which one would be best suited for your needs. You can determine what are the best cameras by reading what other users have to say about the cameras.

While Leica is one of the best when it comes to recommended digital cameras, they're certainly not the only game in town. There are equal and better cameras around, you just need to know where to look.

Customer Review: Great Pricing for Great Item. Shipping was fast
Item was received quickly. Item is great to hold pictures and play videos. Great as gift for family and friends
Customer Review: An OK frame for the money
This is an OK, average product. Very basic software, relatively easy to use and I like the fact that it allows a 1gig space on the SD card. The only problem that is very irritating is that you can not randomize the photos. It just loops them in the order they are on the card.

An amateur photographer or an art collector who does not practice photography at all will likely have doubts about the longevity and quality of digital photography on canvas. Since the two concerns are closely linked it makes sense to address them together.

It is through photography fundamentals that answers to questions pertaining to the longevity and quality of digital photography on canvas, can be found. Clearly everyone knows the purpose of taking beautiful, timeless photographs. It captures moments that can never happen again. Photographs show us our personal and physical development over the years and the effect success and family have brought upon us. They provide us with memorabilia of precious pets that have passed, starter homes we no longer live in, and a myriad of other memories.

When we look back at old black and white photographs our grandparents took of one another, we sometimes witness heart-wrenching pictures captured by a blurry, amateur camera. It is even difficult to identify certain relatives in old photographs due to the poor quality of camera and film. A look at later photographs of our own immediate families is an obvious testament to the improvement in camera technology. Modern film camera photographs are a far cry from the drudgery of older pictures, although they too are far from perfect. Polaroid's prove to be an interesting and often successful experiment, provided lighting is perfect and relatives and friends are not standing in direct sunlight. Generally speaking, the best quality film pictures were still only taken by professional photographers since amateurs could not afford or would not invest in the significant amount of money necessary to purchase a decent camera and to have it developed in a professional dark room.

In spite of this, have not these amateur and inferior quality photographs proved to be very long-lasting? With the advent of digital photography not only is long-lasting product possible it is also one of heightened aesthetic beauty. Digital cameras are the pinnacle of professional and amateur photography. They are the sleek and expensive sports car rather than the small, flawed economy version. The use of such gorgeous photography in the way of art then makes perfect sense. Many modern artists have made use of both video and photography to express an artistic viewpoint. With the advent of the digital camera doubtless they are sashaying into these barely chartered territory as well.

Details are much finer, definition is keener, colors are explosive and the entire effect is one of sheer professionalism, even for the amateur photographer. So the use of digital photography on canvas makes perfect sense and also makes for perfect art. The quality of photography and canvas is such that even outdoor weather conditions will not fade or severely damage this media. Consider too that a photograph on canvas can be preserved beneath a glass frame. This too has a positive effect on longevity. Most professionals who create digital photography on canvas use what is called a sealer. A sealer contains UV protection from ozone damage. These canvases are often water resistant. A work of digital on canvas that is kept indoors can last virtually up to a century, an impressive amount of time indeed. It is contemporary, sophisticated art that is unparalleled and doubtless will be for some time.

Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)

As a new employee of a large studio, I was afforded several one time perks. The boss took me out to lunch at a nice restaurant, some of my previous attempts at portrait photography were allowed to occupy a small corner of the display window and I was permitted to print one negative of my own in their custom lab.

The picture I chose was a photograph of King Ludwig's castle I took while on a trip through Austria. This is the famous castle Walt Disney used as a model for his Disneyland Castle. The print came out beautiful and I mounted, textured and sprayed it with clear lacquer. I planned to enter it into a photography contest as soon as I had enough to satisfy the rules.

A couple of weeks later, a rumpled-looking gentleman entered the studio and asked if I had any pictures of an Austrian castle for sale. I was puzzled as to how he knew that I owned such a picture since I had not shown it to anyone and certainly not to this person. I invited him to sit down so I could hear the rest of the story. He told me that he had just come from the hospital where his Dad was dying. In a moment of clarity, his father asked his son to bring him a picture of the Austrian Castle of King Ludwig, his memory of the famous castle rose in the mists of the Austrian mountains not far from where he grew up. Not wanting to refuse his father's last wish, he searched the local galleries with no success. He said that he would pay any amount to please his father.

I quickly went through my basket of samples and found the picture of Ludwig's Castle. The owner told him that the regular price of this large wall picture was $250.00 but he could have it for $100.00 and she would also frame it for no charge. The man was amazed and ecstatic at this stroke of luck. He had little hope of finding the exact item that his dear father wished, but felt he had to keep trying until the end. After he left, the owner turned to me and gave me $50.00, half of her surprise sale, saying, "Your talent for photography was what made the sale." This early experience figured importantly in my confidence as a beginning photographer.

Occasional trips to Europe feed my brain with ideas.

Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)

Everyone wants to show off his or her photos. Whether they just had a new grandchild or their children just got married, they want you to admire their pictures. Did they just return from an exciting vacation or business trip? They want to show off their trip! The saying has always been "a picture is worth a thousand words" and that is very true today. While someone is telling you about the excitement in their lives, they want to show you the pictures also.

Now there are wonderful ways to show off these photos. Leather envelopes are available in every color and style of leather to house four by six pictures. Whether you like the soft colors of pink or lime, or the traditional red or black leathers, you have your choice. The pictures can constantly be changed in these photo cases and up-dated at will. Newer versions are now available with the magnetic closure. These come in many colors also, and some of them have jeweled findings on the front for added zing. The leather cases can be individually monogrammed with a name or initial. As corporate gifts they can be personalized with a company name or logo. The cases are so versatile for so many occasions; they are always a popular gift. Not just for women, men will also carry these in their pocket or briefcase. The Italian cognac leather or the smooth black leathers are especially popular with the men.

A novel photo holder is the framed case that holds sixteen photos. The pictures fold out accordion style. These can also slide in and out and be changed or updated at will. The frame closes like a change purse and is very flat and sleek looking. It is available in many colors and styles of leather. Men will often carry this slim case in the smooth black leather. It actually resembles the old-fashioned cigarette or cigar case. Monogramming makes this a very special way to showcase your photos. It actually creates quite a presentation! This is also very compact and can become one of your favorite travel accessories.

For those that cannot limit their pictures to "just a few" there are a huge variety of photo albums available. They come in leathers of every color and description. Whether you like the smooth leathers best or the alligator or lizard grains, there's an album for you. These albums also hold four by six photos. Many have pages that fold out doubled, so there are eight photos on a page. In addition to leather, these albums are available in gold or silver tone. Metal albums can be engraved while the leather albums are monogrammed or embossed. These albums are so compact, they can easily fit inside your discount luggage and be taken along on your trips for everyone to admire. You can even fill your album on your travels as you move along from place to place.

It did not take long for the digital photo album to be born. With all of the digital cameras on the market today, they needed an album besides the Internet to show them off. These digital photo albums come with special paper that can be used with your printer to print right from your home computer. The photos come out very professional looking. You can continually add pages to the album as you print more and more of your favorite photos. The albums have a huge array of colors available. They can also be engraved with a name or initials to make them more personal. These albums are lightweight and can be slipped into your discount luggage to take along while you're traveling. No reason any more not to have your favorite pictures along with you to share with others.

Customer Review: Great Pricing for Great Item. Shipping was fast
Item was received quickly. Item is great to hold pictures and play videos. Great as gift for family and friends
Customer Review: An OK frame for the money
This is an OK, average product. Very basic software, relatively easy to use and I like the fact that it allows a 1gig space on the SD card. The only problem that is very irritating is that you can not randomize the photos. It just loops them in the order they are on the card.

An amateur photographer or an art collector who does not practice photography at all will likely have doubts about the longevity and quality of digital photography on canvas. Since the two concerns are closely linked it makes sense to address them together.

It is through photography fundamentals that answers to questions pertaining to the longevity and quality of digital photography on canvas, can be found. Clearly everyone knows the purpose of taking beautiful, timeless photographs. It captures moments that can never happen again. Photographs show us our personal and physical development over the years and the effect success and family have brought upon us. They provide us with memorabilia of precious pets that have passed, starter homes we no longer live in, and a myriad of other memories.

When we look back at old black and white photographs our grandparents took of one another, we sometimes witness heart-wrenching pictures captured by a blurry, amateur camera. It is even difficult to identify certain relatives in old photographs due to the poor quality of camera and film. A look at later photographs of our own immediate families is an obvious testament to the improvement in camera technology. Modern film camera photographs are a far cry from the drudgery of older pictures, although they too are far from perfect. Polaroid's prove to be an interesting and often successful experiment, provided lighting is perfect and relatives and friends are not standing in direct sunlight. Generally speaking, the best quality film pictures were still only taken by professional photographers since amateurs could not afford or would not invest in the significant amount of money necessary to purchase a decent camera and to have it developed in a professional dark room.

In spite of this, have not these amateur and inferior quality photographs proved to be very long-lasting? With the advent of digital photography not only is long-lasting product possible it is also one of heightened aesthetic beauty. Digital cameras are the pinnacle of professional and amateur photography. They are the sleek and expensive sports car rather than the small, flawed economy version. The use of such gorgeous photography in the way of art then makes perfect sense. Many modern artists have made use of both video and photography to express an artistic viewpoint. With the advent of the digital camera doubtless they are sashaying into these barely chartered territory as well.

Details are much finer, definition is keener, colors are explosive and the entire effect is one of sheer professionalism, even for the amateur photographer. So the use of digital photography on canvas makes perfect sense and also makes for perfect art. The quality of photography and canvas is such that even outdoor weather conditions will not fade or severely damage this media. Consider too that a photograph on canvas can be preserved beneath a glass frame. This too has a positive effect on longevity. Most professionals who create digital photography on canvas use what is called a sealer. A sealer contains UV protection from ozone damage. These canvases are often water resistant. A work of digital on canvas that is kept indoors can last virtually up to a century, an impressive amount of time indeed. It is contemporary, sophisticated art that is unparalleled and doubtless will be for some time.
