Once you use the Kodak Easyshare Z915 you’ll be truly impressed by the clear, sharp images from a relatively inexpensive camera.  This camera follows the Kodak mantra “easy to use”, with easy to read and use buttons, and a setting dial on the top which makes switching between shooting modes simple.

This camera is great for someone who just wants to point and shoot, or someone who wants to try artistic things with their photography.  This camera works great in automatic and also provides lots of setup options when you like to go manually.

It’s comfortable to hold, fits easily in a belt pouch, or pocket and really is a very simple to use point and shoot.  Like all digital cameras it does need to have the shutter held half in for a moment to focus, else you will be frustrated with blurred shots.

The video mode allows you to zoom in and out while shooting, and like most digital cameras the sound is not always quite what you would like it to be if recording in a noisy area, or too far away from the camera.

Do you love photography? How would you like to do it for a living? Freelance photography as a career is a great option and many people are now getting into freelance photography from home.

Freelance Photography involves getting paid for your photos! You can work as a photographer, be your own boss, and sell your photos online or offline.

The Flip Video Power Adapter is a particularly handy option for travelers and others who are away from their computers for long periods of time.

If you are around your computer and have the USB connection handy then this isn’t really needed. However if you travel a lot, or can’t easily get to your computer port, or just will be out for the day and need to recharge your Flip camcorder part way through, then this might just be the answer you needed.

Doesn’t take long to get a full charge into the camcorder, you can plug your Mino or MinoHD straight into the Flip Video Power Adapter, but will want a battery pack with the Flip or FlipHD.

For those on the go all the time you may find the Essential Kit for the Pure Digital Flip Video UltraHD includes a Car and Wall Charger – Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology to be even more useful. This will allow you to charge your Flip Video between stops as you are travelling in the car, and then overnight to be ready for first thing in the morning.

For any family hoping to videotape the kids, friends, events, etc the Flip MinoHD is the ideal camcorder to use. It’s durable, easy to use, picks up both immediate sound, and background sound as well.

The MinoHD is completely idiot proof: when you get the box, there is absolutely no assembly required. The right buttons for on, record, and USB connector are easy to find without needing to read the instruction book.

This Telephoto Zoom Lens is compatible with all Canon EOS SLR cameras so will be a great addition to your Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera if you are happy with the standard 18-55mm lens supplied with the Rebel.

To help you with framing your distance photo’s the addition of the extra zoom capability will delight you. It’s not the top of the range with zoom speed and doesn’t have automatic image stabilization like some of the more expensive lenses available, but as an interim lens, at a good price, to use and get quite good framing for distance shots it’s quite acceptable.
