While you are learning the features of the camera, leave the setting on to give you detailed info on the little icons indicating what they do. Once you know all the features you want to use then you can turn it off.

You can edit peoples faces ON the camera to make it look like they were smiling! How cool is that? Another great feature is the ability to set priority face recognition so that it will focus on the person you want it to when you’re shooting pictures, that way the person you want is always in clear.

The biggest positive about this Sony Cyber-shot camera is its consistently good picture quality and performance. It’s like a mini-dslr because you can switch it to Manual mode and you can adjust the aperture and shutter speed so you can do panning as well. A small camera that really works.

It’s a compact camera that fits neatly in a bag, or into a large pocket. It’s not as small as some of the slimline cameras but with the extra zoom capability you will forgive it the extra size.

The battery life is also impressive, as long as you keep your screen on a regular bright setting. If it’s on super bright then it will go down much quicker, but it is rechargeable so you don’t have to keep buying batteries.

If you are going to take lots of video you will need more memory, but you’ll get around 30 minutes on a 2 Gig card sot it’s got to be LOT’s before it will really worry you.

Another useful feature is that you can press the play button when the camera is switched off to view the photos on the camera without having the lens come out. Also while switched off just plugg it into your pc with the supplied USB cord and retrieve the photos. You can use the supplied photo cd but it’s not mandatory.

It’s a very solid camera with many useful features and very nice quality pictures, especially during the daytime and in bright sunny conditions. Very versatile with lots of great features, even just set to auto the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B digital camera can go from feathers on a bird from 25 yards(10x) to a bug on your sleeve (1/2″ away) without pushing any buttons.

Like Flip Video camcorders, FlipShare TV is incredibly easy to use. There’s no confusing setup or configuration required. It’s as easy as this; download your videos to your FlipShare library, connect the TV Connector cables, plug in the USB Key to your computer, pick up the Remote Control that’s supplied and start watching your videos on the big screen. You can browse and play back all your library content.

FlipShare TV lets you enjoy your entire FlipShare library on not only your TV, but also any of your friends and family via the Flip Channel. You set up your Flip Channel to automatically notify those you want to share videos with when you add new content. All they need is a FlipShare TV and they’ll be able to enjoy that content immediately, directly on their TV. They don’t even need to own a Flip Video Camcorder themselves.

What a great way to share your holidays and special moments with all your family and friends even if you can’t be together in person. It really is a gift that keeps on giving all year round when you can’t be there.

Whether it’s mounted it on the side of a skateboard, on the rear foot peg on your street bike or on your helmet as you snowboard, you’ll hardly notice its presence.

Even though the video is possibly not quite real HD, it’s still leagues (and I mean LEAGUES) ahead of anything that is out there for this amount of money (and most of the stuff that costs at least twice as much… ). If you’ve been disappointed in the quality of video of helmet cam tried until now, this device is worth every penny. Buy this camcorder as soon as you can!

720p video, great color, light weight, and mountable anywhere are the ContourHD hallmarks. Make sure your computer can edit HD video though, you need to take out the choppy bits.

ContourHD is the world’s first High Definition wearable camcorder that combines amazing video clarity (choose between High Definition or High Action), a wide-angle lens (135 degrees), single-button simplicity, and a click to share online experience. Perfected for outdoor use, ContourHD can switch between crisp HD quality video (captured at 30 frames per second) or SD quality video (captured at 60 frames per second).

This camera is the ideal complement to your outdoor gear with its all-in-one design ContourHD has no wires or separate recorder. Instead it records up to 8 hours of HD video to its own internal memory card (compatible with up to a 16GB microSD card). It’s light (4 ounces) but armored aluminum body enables you to capture video in any weather conditions. ContourHD’s Trail Mounts seamlessly attach the camera to your body, helmet, goggles, or vehicle for hands-free recording.

The other bits you’ll want to get when you order your helmet camcorder:

1. A carry case as there’s no included case.
2. A larger memory card really is needed, you’ll run out just at the key point otherwise.
3. Buy another battery. When you see and feel the size of it, realize that there are NO external parts, and then see the video it produces you’ll forgive the battery life, but you will want a spare.

Right now you can also get another $80 off if you grab your ContourHD before December 19, 2009. To take advantage of this offer add the camcorder to your Shopping Cart, enter promotional code CONTOURH at checkout, and Amazon will apply $80 in savings.

The zoom is fantastic, even with recording action shots the focus is pretty hard to mess up. and the time delay recording and animated thumbnails are really fun to play with.

The playback is great, I love that you can flip the screen around and fold it back in during watching, with an convenient rewind button right next to it. All the buttons are easy to access, not that there are too many to get confused with.

The SMX-C10 does not feature internal memory and you will need to purchase SD/SDHC media when you get the camcorder. It does though offer substantial battery life, providing more than two hours and forty minutes of record time on a single charge which is more than enough for most situations.

The one-touch “upload” button, available directly on the SMX-C10, provides the user a direct connection to YouTube, so reduces the number of steps needed to upload footage. In addition, the camcorder also allows basic on-camera editing, including the ability to merge and split video files.

One downside is that it has no still photo capability which is a little disappointing.

All in all – for under $150 with the features it has you will be hard pressed to find a sleeker and better performing camcorder than the Samsung SMX-C10 Touch of Color Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Red).

You will need to read the manual as there are a number of settings that need to be adjusted to go from outdoors to indoors and still get great photos, but once you get the hang of it, the P90 takes just awesome photos.

The video on it is limited, maybe not quite as good as some of the other point and shoot cameras, but still photos are definitely right up there in quality.

It has a huge 24x zoom, the equivalent of 26-624mm on a 35mm film camera. And at smaller picture sizes, the optical zoom becomes MUCH greater, maybe 1000mm or more. On the other end of the scale (26mm), the P90 gives a wide field of view that allows you to capture most things that you might want.

The other area the P90 shines in is taking macro pictures (such as of flowers), especially with the tilting LCD. You’ll have no trouble getting the P90 to focus correctly in macro mode, and the new manual focus is also a welcome addition, as is the much larger LCD monitor.

The Nikon Coolpix P90 features list goes on: you can crop, rotate, and/or retouch pictures in camera while reviewing them, as well as the real-time red-eye correction, blink warning, etc.

You may need extra memory and batteries to keep up with the number of photos you can easily take with this great little camera.

For a limited time, jump in quickly and take advantage of a $100 instant savings on the Nikon Coolpix P90.

Displaying your pictures on the digital frame only takes three easy steps.

1. Simply remove the memory card from your camera,
2. insert the card into the frame and
3. view your photos.

There is no need to upload and edit your pictures on a computer.

The dark chocolate color of the real wood frame mixed with the custom designed beige matting can compliment any room or office.

Once the memory card is inserted into the picture frame it automatically shows them as a slideshow. Depending on the size of the jpeg images each photo will display for between 5 to 20 seconds. Photos can be rotated to view in normal orientation if needed.

The simple software that comes with the Smartparts SP72 7-Inch Digital Picture Wood Frame allows you to convert and transfer PowerPoint slides, PDF files, and most picture and graphic files directly to your digital frame.

Images do need to be in JPEG format to view with the frame, however most cameras automatically save the images in that format for you. Other images downloaded that are not in JPEG format will need to be converted. Fortunately there is plenty of free software available to do that with.

The one downside that can be found for this digital picture frame appears to be customer service if anything does go wrong. Out of the box it appears to mostly work fine, but can be a pain if it doesn’t. Go straight back to Amazon if you don’t get any satisfaction from the supplier.

You don’t have to do a thing but press the shutter halfway to focus, then once the focus is locked, press the button all the way down. It has some really cool features like face detection and image stabilisation that makes it pretty hard to take a bad photo even if your hands aren’t really steady.

Action shots are a breeze and it automatically does up to 6 scene recognition modes: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, and Backlit Portrait.

Get a Free Memory Card & Free Case
For a limited time, buy the Fuji FinePix J28 and get a free Fuji 2 GB SD memory card and free Case Logic DCB-16 compact camera case with combined purchase from Amazon.com. See details here Fujifilm FinePix J28 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

Macro shots can be a bit tricky and the safest way to get good ones is to take them from a bit further out then crop to what you want.

The lithium-ion re-chargeable battery lasts for ages, flash reset time is quick, and the menus are pretty much all intuitive, we didn’t need a manual to figure out how to use the camera and get really good shots.

All in all a great, simple to use camera for a nice price and with the case and extra memory thrown in it’s a fantastic deal.

With a larger LCD screen as compared to the Flip series, it is definitely easier on the eyes. Like most LCD screens viewing in bright light can be a little difficult, but for most situations the resolution of the screen makes it easy to view what’s being recorded and played back.

The still picture quality is pretty ordinary and can’t be compared with a standard camera, you do however get pretty good quality HD video in good lighting.

The Kodak Zi6 has a large capacity SD card expansion slot which is a huge advantage over the Flip series of cameras. You can put in up to a 32 GB card which will hold several hours of video, unlike the Flip that at most only goes 2 hours.

As a small video camera that can easily be put in a pocket, the Kodak Zi6 HD provides a great way to record and enjoy later all those “you should have been here” snippets of video.

Because it records to both the in-built memory and SD Card you know you aren’t going to lose any data. As with most Panasonic camcorders, the HDC-TM10 features the iA (Intelligent Auto) function, which automatically sets the most suitable Scene mode according to shooting conditions.

So it’s really hard to go wrong with this camcorder, it fixes most lighting and movement problems automatically without you having to be too careful.  The zoom is digital and Panasonic’s technology takes out most of the blurring that you get when you try to zoom too far.

Panasonic HDC-TM10 Highlights

SDHC/SD Memory Card Recording
The SDHC/SD memory card not only brings significant advantages to smaller and lighter camcorders, but it also differs from a hard-disk drive in that it has no transport mechanism, making it highly shock-resistant and enabling faster recording starts.

Twin Memory Recording
The HDC-TM10 records Full-HD images onto the built-in memory or an SDHC/SD memory card (optional), and features a Relay Recording function. When the built-in memory is full, this function automatically switches the recording media to the SDHC/SD memory card to provide uninterrupted recording. Video data that is recorded using both media types can be merged inside the camcorder and saved to an SDHC/SD memory card.

Touch-screen and Handy Function Buttons
A touch screen lets users operate a variety of functions by simply touching an icon displayed on the LCD. This allows intuitive operation without having to look away from the subject.

1.9-sec Quick Power-On
The power turns on and off by opening and closing the LCD. This start-up allows users to save battery power by keeping the power turned off when the camcorder is not in use, while making sure that unexpected shooting opportunities are not lost. The power-saving Eco mode automatically turns the power off when the camcorder is not in use for five minutes.

Pre-Rec
To avoid missing critical shooting opportunities, when the Pre-Rec function is on, the camcorder continuously records three seconds of images into an internal buffer memory. When the Record button is actually pressed, the three seconds immediately prior are added to the beginning of the clip.

Auto Power LCD
This feature automatically adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen according to the shooting conditions.

Built-in Video Light and FlashThe HDC-TM10 is equipped with a video light and flash for convenience when shooting in dimly lit places.

Highlight Playback
This function is for users who want to view recorded images quickly, as “highlights” can be created and played back according to a set time interval.

One-Touch Copy of Videos to DVD and Easy Playback with the BN1 DVD Burner
To avoid the two-step process previously required to save Full-HD videos from an SDHC/SD memory card or built-in memory onto a DVD for playback, the HDC-TM10 features a one-touch function that makes this process easier.

VIERA Link Playback
The HDC-TM10 is compatible with Panasonic’s VIERA Link to allow quick and easy viewing of Full-HD video content, as well as with the VIERA Image Viewer function on a VIERA HDTV. This allows users to play videos on a large screen by simply inserting a recorded SDHC/SD memory card into the SD Card slot of a Panasonic VIERA HDTV. It provides instant playback of video clips recorded in the AVCHD format in Full-HD quality. Similarly, video recordings can be easily played by using a Panasonic Blu-ray Disc player.

With a small and light style body finished in black and grey, this 5 megapixel camcorder features 4x digital zoom, 10x optical zoom, 7.6cm (3″) LCD screen and supports high-capacity SD memory cards up to 8GB.

Give the camcorder as a gift to allow distant family members to take advantage of this digital camcorder and capture vivid, sharp and memorable videos and images of your family and friends, to share with you later or take it with you on your next holiday and just have fun collecting great memories to share and enjoy.
